COOKIE-POLICY

we use cookies and similar technologies such as HTML5 Storage or Local Shared Objects (hereinafter collectively referred to as “cookies”) to recognize user preferences and to be able to design the websites optimally. This makes navigation easier and ensures a high degree of user-friendliness of a website.

Cookies are small files that are stored on your end device. They can be used to determine whether communication has already been established from your terminal device to our pages. Only the cookie on your terminal device is identified. Personal data can be stored in cookies if you have agreed or if this is technically absolutely necessary, e.g. to enable a protected login.

If you use our website, you agree to the use and storage of cookies on your terminal device. However, you can also view our website without cookies. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. You can prevent the storage of cookies on your terminal device by selecting *do not accept cookies* in your browser settings. You can delete cookies already set on your device at any time. How this works in detail, please refer to the instructions of your browser or device manufacturer. You can find further information on deactivating Local Shared Objects under the following link: Information on deactivating Local Shared Objects
