Here you can find out which tools we use on our website (web tracking, advertising, cookies, plugins, beacons, pixels, tags and scripts, etc.), how they work and how you object to the processing of your personal data in detail or the deletion the personal data collected here. Further information can be found in our data protection declaration.
Here you can manage your currently selected cookie settings:
A cookie is a small file that is saved in the end device's browser when the website is accessed. With the help of cookies, e.g. the respective device identified or the complete and correct display of our website can be guaranteed. Cookies also help to provide the services integrated on the website, to personalize content and to customize and analyze advertisements
Depending on their function and purpose, we divide cookies into three categories: Absolutely necessary cookies (necessary cookies), web statistics, cookies for marketing purposes. Please note that not all of the cookies listed here may be used if you visit our website with a mobile device.
These are cookies that are required so that you can navigate our website and operate the basic functions of the website. Functional cookies are also in this category. These enable a website to save information that has already been entered (such as user name, login, language selection or the place where you are) and thus offer the user improved, more personal functions.
With these cookies we can determine how our website is used and e.g. based on which preferences and search terms is called. They also serve to improve the user-friendliness of a website and thus the user experience. Web statistics cookies collect information about how our website is used, e.g. Internet browser and operating system used; domain name of the website you came from, number of visits, average time spent there, and pages viewed.
Marketing cookies are used to provide content that is more relevant to the user and tailored to his interests. They are also used to measure and control the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They register whether you have visited a website or not and what content has been used. This information may be shared with third parties, such as advertisers. These cookies are often linked to third party website functions.
You can delete individual cookies or the entire set of cookies via your browser settings. In addition, you will find information and instructions on how to delete these cookies or how to block their storage in advance, depending on the provider of your browser, under the following links:
Mozilla Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/cookies-loeschen-daten-von-websites-entfernen
Internet Explorer: https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/help/17442/windows-internet-explorer-delete-manage-cookies
Google Chrome: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/61416?hl=de
Opera: http://www.opera.com/de/help
Safari: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH17191?locale=de_DE&viewlocale=de_DE
You can also individually manage the cookies of many companies and functions that are used for advertising. To do this, use the corresponding user tools, available at https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices.
Most browsers also offer a so-called “Do-Not-Track” function, which you can use to indicate that you do not want to be “tracked” by websites. When this function is activated, the respective browser informs advertising networks, websites and applications that you do not want to be tracked for the purpose of behavior-based advertising. Information and instructions on how to edit this function can be found under the following links, depending on the provider of your browser:
Mozilla Firefox: https://www.mozilla.org/de/firefox/dnt/
Internet Explorer: https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/help/17288/windows-internet-explorer-11-use-do-not-track
Google Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2790761?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=de
Opera: http://help.opera.com/Windows/12.10/de/notrack.html
Safari: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH21416?locale=de_DE
You can also avoid so-called scripts from being loaded. NoScript allows the execution of JavaScript, Java and other plugins only with trustworthy domains of your choice. Information and instructions on how you can edit this function can be obtained from the provider of your browser (for Mozilla Firefox, e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/noscript/).
