We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website. The cookie stores information that is related to the specific device used. However, this does not mean that we immediately become aware of your identity. The use of cookies serves to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions. On the one hand, we use so-called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site. In addition, other cookies are used that remain on your device and enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit (so-called persistent cookies). The data processed by cookies is necessary for the purposes mentioned above in order to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or so that a message always appears before a new cookie is created. However, completely deactivating cookies may mean that you cannot use all the functions of our website.
