You can make changes in your browser settings or via our Consent Manager. In the following, we first describe cookies from a technical point of view (2), before going into more detail about your individual choices by describing technically necessary cookies (3) and cookies that you can voluntarily select or deselect (4).

(2) Cookies are text files or information in a database that are stored on your hard drive and assigned to the browser you are using so that certain information can flow to the entity that sets the cookie. Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses to your computer, but are primarily used to make the website faster and more user-friendly. This website uses the following types of cookies, whose functionality and legal basis we will explain below:

• Transient cookies: Such cookies, especially session cookies, are automatically deleted when the browser is closed or by logging out. They contain a so-called session ID. In this way, various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session and your computer can be recognized when you return to our website.
• Persistent cookies: Such cookies are automatically deleted after a specified duration, which is set differently depending on the cookie. You can view the cookies set and the durations at any time in the settings of your browser and delete the cookies manually.
• Other technologies: These features do not rely on cookies, but on similar technical mechanisms, such as Flash cookies, HTML objects, or an analysis of your browser settings. The result is likewise that we can use the techniques described below. Again, you can of course consent or object.

(3) Mandatory functions that are technically necessary for displaying the website: The technical structure of the website requires us to use techniques, in particular cookies. Without these techniques, our website cannot be displayed (completely correctly) or the support functions could not be enabled. These are basically transient cookies that are deleted after the end of your website visit, at the latest when you close your browser. You cannot deselect these cookies if you wish to use our website. The individual cookies can be seen in the Consent Manager. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

(4) Optional cookies when you give your consent: We set various cookies only after your consent, which you can select during your first visit to our website via the so-called cookie consent tool. The functions are only activated in the event of your consent and may serve in particular to enable us to analyze and improve visits to our website, to make it easier for you to use it via different browsers or terminal devices, to recognize you on a visit or to serve advertising (possibly also to orient advertising to interests, to measure the effectiveness of ads or to show interest-oriented advertising). The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DS-GVO. The revocation of your consent is possible at any time without affecting the permissibility of the processing until the revocation.
