COOKIES

These web pages use so-called cookies in many areas. A cookie is a piece of data that a website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer as a tag that identifies your computer. While cookies are often only used to measure website usage (number of users and duration of a visit) and effectiveness (subjects that are of most interest for the visitors) and to allow for ease of navigation or use and as such, are not associated with any personal information. However, they can also be used to personalise the website experience for a known visitor. In this case a user reference can be created to assign profile information or user settings. Over the course of time, such information provides a useful insight to help us to improve the user experience on our website. Cookies are generally distinguished as either session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies provide an efficient method to navigate through the web site, whereby cookies log your path through the individual web pages so that you will not be asked again to input information that you have already entered shortly beforehand during the same visit to the web site. Session cookies are saved in temporary memory and deleted as soon as the web browser is closed. Persistent cookies on the other hand save user settings for the current visit as well as for future visits to the web site. They are saved on your hard drive and continue to be valid if you start the browser anew. For example, we use persistent cookies to record your language selection and your country information. As cookies are required for the basic functions of the website and functional analysis of website usage to improve performance and enable you to use certain features of our website, we recommend that you do not generally disable them in your browser settings. If your browser blocks third-party cookies (“marketing cookies” or “targeting cookies” to display ads and to monitor your progress on the Internet) this will not affect the functionality of our website.

Google Analytics uses technologies that make the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing the user behavior patterns (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting).
