Cookies
To enhance your experience on our website, we use so-called ‘session cookies’.

With a session cookie, a randomly generated unique identification number, or ‘session ID’, is stored. In addition, these cookies contain information about their origin and their expiration date. Session cookies are not able to store any other data. In contrast to permanent cookies, which can recognise visitors even after long periods of time, the session cookies that we use are deleted when you leave our website. We also use cookies for web analysis, and these expire after 3 hours (see below). You can prevent cookies from being stored on your computer by changing your browser settings. However, we would like to point out that if you do so, you may not be able to use the full functionality of our website. Cookies cannot install or open any programs or other applications on your computer. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) of the EU-GDPR in connection with §15 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG).
