What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They enable your browser to be recognized and are used to keep the website functional, operate it securely and improve the user experience.
Cookies can either be stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion is carried out by your web browser.
Which cookies do we use?
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are absolutely necessary for the operation of the website, e.g. to save your language setting, the selected language variant (German/English) or the theme preference (light/dark). Without these cookies, basic functions of the website would not be usable. Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest) or § 25 para. 2 No. 2 TTDSG.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies allow us to store your choices made on the website (e.g. recently visited areas, collapsed notices) and thus provide a consistent experience when you visit again. These are only set after your consent.
Third-party cookies
If you play embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos in extended data protection mode or Google Maps), cookies or similar recognition technologies from these third-party providers may be stored on your device. These are loaded only after your consent. Details on the respective providers can be found in our privacy policy.
Consent and Withdrawal
The storage of cookies that are not technically necessary, as well as access to information in your end device, occurs exclusively on the basis of your consent in accordance with § 25 para. 1 TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.
To revoke your consent, delete the cookies stored in your browser for this website or adjust your browser's cookie settings accordingly. Please note that disabling necessary cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
