Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They serve to make the website more user-friendly and effective overall.

(3) Use of cookies:

a) This website uses the following types of cookies, whose scope and function are explained below:

  • transient Cookies (see b)
  • persistent cookies (see c).

b) Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. In particular, these include the session cookies. They store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the shared session. This enables your computer to be recognised when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.

These objects store the required data irrespective of the browser you are using and do not have an automatic expiration date. If you do not wish the Flash cookies to be processed, you need to install an appropriate add-on, e.g. the Adobe Flash killer cookie for Google Chrome. You can prevent the use of HTML5 storage objects by using the private mode in your browser. We also recommend that you regularly delete your cookies and browser history manually.

For this purpose, you must generally provide further personal data which we use to provide the respective service and to which the aforementioned data processing principles apply.

(2) In some cases, we use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions, and are checked regularly.

(3) Furthermore, we may pass on your personal data to third parties if we offer participation in promotions, competitions, contracts or similar services in conjunction with partners. You will receive further relevant information when you enter your personal data.

This is the case if the processing is, in particular, not necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you, which is described by us in the following description of the functions. In case you exercise such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of a justified objection, we will examine the situation and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or point out our legitimate reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

The purpose of data processing is the performance of the commissioned service.
The collected data is suitable for achieving this purpose.
The necessity exists as they are necessary to achieve the purpose.
They are appropriate as they are reasonable for the user and the adequate level of data protection is not jeopardized.
