Some parts of this website use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device and do not contain viruses. They help make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted when you leave the website. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognise your browser when you return to our website.
You can configure your browser to notify you whenever cookies are set, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain situations or in general, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Please note that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are required to carry out electronic communications or to provide specific functions requested by you are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically correct and optimised provision of its services. Any other cookies, such as those used for analysing browsing behaviour, are dealt with separately in this Privacy Policy.

The hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits automatically. This information includes:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request

This data is not combined with other data sources.
The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

To optimise our website, we use the web analytics tool Matomo (formerly Piwik).
IP addresses are anonymised immediately by Matomo, making it impossible to identify individual visitors. Anonymous statistical data is stored separately from any personal data you may provide and cannot be used to identify a specific individual.

Social Media
Sharing Content via Social Networks (Facebook, X, Google+ and others)
The content of our website can be shared on social networks such as Facebook, X (formerly Twitter) and other platforms in a privacy-friendly manner.
Our website uses simple privacy-friendly links to these social networks. These links do not transmit any personal data before you actively click on them. A direct connection between the social network and the user is only established once the respective button has been clicked.
No user data is automatically transferred to the operators of these platforms. If you are logged into one of these social networks, an information window may appear before you share content, allowing you to confirm your action.
This enables users to share our content without creating complete browsing profiles through the operators of the respective social networks.
