Cookies

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide reporting information.

Beyond cookies, we use similar technologies such as local storage and pixel tags, which serve comparable purposes. Throughout this page, the term "cookies" refers to all such technologies.

2. Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies for several purposes:

• Necessary: required for the website to function (e.g., remembering your cookie preferences)
• Statistics: to understand how visitors use the site, anonymously, so we can improve it
• Marketing: to deliver relevant content (e.g., embedded videos that load only with consent)
• Preferences: to remember choices you make (e.g., language)

Most cookies on this site are loaded only after you have given your consent via our cookie banner.

3. Categories of cookies and consent

We classify cookies into the categories defined by Cookiebot:

• Necessary: always active. These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off (e.g., the cookie that stores your consent).
• Statistics: only active with your consent. We use these to measure traffic and usage patterns (Google Analytics).
• Marketing: only active with your consent. We use these to enable embedded third-party content (e.g., YouTube videos).
• Preferences: only active with your consent. They store your settings.

A complete and up-to-date list of all cookies used on this site, including their providers, purposes, and storage periods, is shown in the table at the bottom of this page (powered by Cookiebot).

4. Legal basis

Necessary cookies are set on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing a functional website) and § 25 (2) (2) TTDSG (technically required for the service requested).

All other cookies are set only on the basis of your consent — Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG.
