We and our partners use cookies to provide appropriate 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 when you visit a website from this website. Cookies are useful and can be used for a variety of purposes. These include, for example, facilitating navigation between different pages, automatically activating certain functions, saving your settings and optimizing access to our Services. The use of cookies also allows us to display relevant advertisements tailored to 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. "Persistent cookies" , which are only read by the website and are not deleted when you close your browser window, but are stored on your computer for a specified 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 record 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. When doing so, follow the appropriate instructions.

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 is 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. At present, it is 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 data 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.

Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited ("Google"). 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 generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
As part of the use of Google Analytics, data may be transferred to the United States. We would like to point out that the United States does not offer a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU, which may pose risks to the processing of your data. However, by activating IP anonymization on this website, Google will shorten your IP address within Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: [https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en](https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).
For more information on Google's privacy practices, please visit: [https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en](https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en).
Legal basis for processing:
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may withdraw this consent at any time with future effect by adjusting the settings in the [cookie banner] or using the browser plugin linked above.
Data processing on behalf of the controller:
We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google to ensure that Google processes your data only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with EU data protection regulations.
Transfer of data outside the European Economic Area
Please note that some recipients may not be located in the European Economic Area. If this is the case, we will only transfer your data to countries approved by the European Commission with an adequate level of data protection or ensure an adequate level of data protection through a legal agreement.

When you access our website, we may serve ads using ad technology from third-party vendors. This technology uses your Services usage data to serve ads (for example, by placing third-party cookies on your web browser).
