A "cookie" is a sequence of text characters that we transmit to the browser's cookie file on your computer's hard drive via our web server. This enables our website to recognise you when a connection is made between our web server and your browser. The main purpose of a cookie is to recognise visitors to the website so that our web server can present you with a more personalised and responsive website. Two types of cookies are used on this website: Session cookies: these are temporary cookies that remain in your browser's cookie file until you leave our website. These cookies are necessary for certain applications or features of the website to run properly. Persistent cookies: we may use persistent cookies for a better user experience (for example, to provide optimal navigation). These are cookies that remain in your browser's cookie file for an extended period of time. This period depends on the settings of your Internet browser. Persistent cookies allow information to be sent to a web server each time you visit the website. Persistent cookies are also known as tracking cookies. If you would like to learn more about cookies, there are many publications available on the subject. See for example: https://www.allaboutcookies.org

Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, by activating IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Facebook Remarketing / Retargeting
Remarketing tags of the social network Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA are integrated on our pages. When you visit our pages, the remarketing tags establish a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. Facebook thereby receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. This enables Facebook to assign the visit to our pages to your user account. We can use the information obtained in this way to display Facebook Ads. We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. For more information, please see Facebook's privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ . If you do not wish any data to be collected via Custom Audience, you can deactivate Custom Audiences here. Conversion measurement with the visitor action pixel from Facebook With your consent, we use the "visitor action pixel" from Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook") within our website. With its help, we can track the actions of users after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. This allows us to track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous to us, which means that we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, which we will inform you of according to our level of knowledge. Facebook may link this data to your Facebook account and also use it for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook's data usage policy https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You may allow Facebook and its partners to serve ads on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes.

The log file data is used by us for the purposes stated under "Use of Google Analytics" and to ensure system security and protection against misuse (e.g. detection and defense against hacker attacks).

However, we would like to point out that in the case of objection not all functions of the website can be fully provided. You have several options to object to the use of cookies/pixels or to revoke an already granted consent. For example, the most common browsers offer the possibility to prevent the use of cookies. The following links will tell you how to do this:
- Microsoft's Windows Internet Explorer

We show the most important ones in the explanation of the tools.
