General information about cookies

Cookies are small text files which can be stored by a website, and with the help of the browser, on the hard drive of a client computer, to save smaller amounts of website information for a specific period of time. Generally, there are different types of cookies; some are essential for the functioning of the website, such as navigation or shopping cart cookies. Furthermore, there are so-called Analytics cookies, which collect information, for instance about the number of website visitors and the way they found the website. Function cookies allow the website to remember your selection (e.g. selected filter settings or automatic language setting of a website).

In addition, so-called profiling cookies record the user's preferences and actions. A user profile is created on the basis of this information. This serves to combine advertising messages with the interests of the user and thus enables more target-group-specific advertising. In many cases, cookies from third parties are used by the website operator to broadcast personalised advertising.

Compulsory consent for cookies

Website visitors must actively consent to the use of cookies, which are not essential for the functionality of the website, and also have the right to revoke their consent at any time.

This website uses a technology called CMP (Consent Management Platform) to administer this right. When you visit the website, a banner appears informing you about the use of cookies, giving you various options for accepting them (all cookies, individual categories of cookies, or each individual cookie separately), and providing detailed information about the various cookies. The CMP remembers the settings made by visitor and applies them the next time the user visits the website. Here the website visitor can exercise the right of withdrawal or adjust the settings.
