Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website and how you can manage your preferences.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help provide basic website functionality, improve security, and, depending on your settings, support analytics.

Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies for the following purposes:

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly (e.g., page navigation, security, and saving cookie banner preferences). The website cannot operate properly without these cookies.

Analytics cookies

(Google Analytics, consent-based)

If enabled and with your consent, we may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website.

Functional cookies

(if used)

These cookies enable enhanced features such as remembering user preferences or improving layout behavior on different devices. We do not use cookies for marketing, profiling, or advertising.

What data is collected?

Depending on your selection, the following information may be collected:

pages visited
time spent on the site
browser and device information
shortened IP address (IP anonymisation)
interaction data (clicks, navigation)

Cookie consent

When you visit our website for the first time, you will see a cookie banner. You can:

accept all cookies
decline non-essential cookies
customize your preferences

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via “Privacy Settings” in the cookie banner.

Web analytics with Google Analytics

(only if enabled and with consent)

At the moment, analytics may not be active on this website. If we activate analytics, this policy will be updated accordingly. Google Analytics uses cookies that allow us to analyse how visitors use the site. The information generated by the cookie may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. IP anonymisation (shortening) is active on this website, so your IP address is shortened before transmission.

Legal basis

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via “Privacy Settings” in the cookie banner.

Retention period

The Analytics ID we set is automatically deleted after 14 months.

International transfers

Data transfer to the USA may occur. Transfers are based on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and, where necessary, additional EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Third-party cookies

If analytics is activated, third-party cookies may be placed by Google Analytics and used only for statistical evaluation.

How to manage cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. You can also block cookies entirely, although this may affect website functionality.
