12. Cookies
In order to make our internet presence user-friendly for you and to tailor it optimally to your needs, we use cookies in some areas. A cookie is a small data packet (text file) that your browser stores on your device on the instruction of a website visited in order to “remember” information about you, such as your language settings. These cookies are set by us and are referred to as first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies, which originate from a domain other than that of the website visited by you. We use these cookies to support our advertising and marketing measures. In particular, we use cookies and other tracker technologies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be deactivated in your systems. As a rule, these cookies are set only in response to actions taken by you that correspond to a service request, such as setting your cookie preferences. You can set your browser so that these cookies are blocked or so that you are notified about these cookies. However, some areas of the website will not function if all cookies are rejected. These cookies do not store any personal data. - Performance/statistics cookies
These cookies enable us to count the number of visitors to our website and their sources so that we can measure and improve the performance and experience on our website for you. By measuring these key figures, we learn which pages are accessed particularly frequently or less frequently and how our visitors move around the website. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymised. If you do not consent to these cookies, we cannot record when you visited our website and are not able to review the performance of the website. - Functionality cookies
With the help of these cookies, the website can improve functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. The purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a more personalised experience on our website based on your previous visits. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. - Cookies for marketing purposes (targeting)
These cookies may be set via our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by these companies to create a profile of your interests and to show you advertisements on other websites that are interesting and relevant to you. These cookies do not directly store personal data, but are based on an identification of your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will receive advertising that is less tailored to you.
You can reject each of these cookie categories (with the exception of strictly necessary cookies) and find further detailed information on each of these cookie categories by clicking the following “Cookie Settings” button.
Your browser also offers a function to delete cookies (e.g. via delete browsing data). You will usually find further information on this in the settings of your internet browser.
