We and our partners use cookies to provide these services. This also applies when you visit our website or access our services.

A "cookie" is a small packet of data that is assigned to your device by the website when you visit a website. Cookies are useful and can be used for various purposes. These include, for example, facilitating navigation between different pages, automatically activating certain functions, saving your settings and optimising access to our services. The use of cookies also allows us to serve you relevant advertisements based on your interests and to collect statistical information about your use of our services.

This website uses the following types of cookies:

a. "Session cookies" , which provide for normal system usage. Session cookies are only stored for a limited time during a session and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser.

b. "Permanent cookies", which are only read by the website and are not deleted when you close the browser window, but are stored on your computer for a certain period of time. This type of cookie allows us to identify you on your next visit and to save your settings, for example.

c. "Third-party cookies" , which are set by other online services that are represented with their own content on the page you visit. These can be, for example, external web analytics companies that collect and analyze access to our website.

Cookies do not contain any personal data that identifies you, but the personal data we store may be linked by us to the data contained in the cookies. You can remove cookies through the device settings on your device. Follow the appropriate instructions to do so. Please note that disabling cookies may limit certain features when using our website.

The tool we use is based on technology from SnowplowAnalytics . The data we collect on the use of our website includes, for example, how often users visit the website or which areas are accessed. The tool we use does not collect any personal data and is used by our web hosting provider and service provider solely to improve its own offering.

Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)

To ensure that our content is displayed correctly and graphically appealing in every browser, we use script and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts) for this website. Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser's cache so that they only need to be loaded once. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or denies access, the content will be displayed in a standard font.

• When script or font libraries are called up, a connection to the operator of the library is automatically established. Theoretically, it is possible for this operator to collect data. It is currently not known whether and for what purpose the operators of the corresponding libraries actually collect data.
   
  
• Here you can find the privacy policy of the operator of the Google library: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

Collection of data by third parties

This policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information that we collect from you. If you post information on other websites or disclose it to third parties on the Internet, different rules may apply. Therefore, always read the terms and conditions and privacy policy carefully when disclosing data.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the business practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to anyone other than our officers and employees, including third parties, to whom we disclose such information as described in this Privacy Policy.

How do we protect your data?

We take great care to implement security measures on the website and to protect your data. We use industry standard practices and policies to ensure the protection of data collected and stored, and prevent the unauthorized use of such data. We also require third parties to adhere to similar security requirements in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Although we take reasonable steps to protect data, we cannot be held responsible for the actions of those who gain unauthorized access to or misuse our website, and we make no representation or warranty, express or implied, that we can prevent such access.
