Use of cookies

What are cookies? Cookies are data that are stored on your computer by a website you visit and enable your browser to be reassigned. Cookies transmit information to the entity that sets the cookie. Cookies can store various information, such as your language setting, the duration of your visit to our website or the entries you have made there. This prevents you, for example, from having to re-enter required form data each time you use the site. The information stored in cookies can also be used to recognise preferences and to target content according to areas of interest.

There are different types of cookies: Session cookies are sets of data that are only temporarily held in the working memory and are deleted when you close your browser. Permanent or persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a predefined period, which may differ depending on the cookie. With this type of cookie, the information can also be stored in text files on your computer. However, you can also delete these cookies at any time via your browser settings.

First-party cookies are set by the website you are currently visiting. Only that website is allowed to read information from these cookies. Third-party cookies are set by organizations that do not operate the website you are visiting. These cookies are used by marketing companies, for example.

We use cookies to ensure the proper operation of the website, to provide basic functionality, to measure reach and to tailor our services to preferred areas of interest. We use both transient cookies and persistent cookies for this purpose.

You can delete cookies already stored on your end device at any time. If you want to prevent cookies from being saved, you can do this via the settings in your internet browser.

Website analysis

For analysing and optimising our websites, we use various services, which are described below. For example, we can analyse how many users visit our site, which information is most in demand or how users find the offer. Among other things, we collect data on which website a data subject came to a website from (so-called referrer), which sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed. This helps us to design and improve our offers in a user-friendly way. The data collected in this way does not serve to identify individual users personally.

Data transfer and recipients or categories of recipients

As a matter of principle, your data will not be transferred to third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so, or the transfer of data is necessary for the performance of the contractual relationship, or you have previously given your express consent to the transfer of your data.

External service providers and partner companies only receive your data insofar as this is necessary to process your order. In these cases, however, the scope of the transmitted data is limited to the necessary minimum. Insofar as our service providers come into contact with your personal data and process it on our behalf in accordance with instructions, we ensure within the scope of order processing that they comply with the provisions of the data protection laws in the same way. Please also note the respective data protection information of the providers. The respective service provider is responsible for the content of third-party services, whereby we check the services for compliance with the legal requirements within the scope of reasonableness.

Duration of storage

Personal data that we collect is deleted when the purpose of the processing no longer applies or within the statutory retention periods.
