We use cookies on our website. These are small text files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your end device when you visit our website.

First-party cookies are set by the website you are currently visiting and are not accessible across domains by browsers. A third-party cookie, on the other hand, is set by a third party, i.e. not by the actual website you are currently visiting. Cookies are also divided into technically necessary and technically non-necessary cookies. On our website, both technically necessary cookies and technically non-necessary cookies are set in accordance with the following paragraphs.

Technically necessary cookies are strictly required for the operation of our website and ensure, for example, that certain functions are available to you in the first place. These technically necessary cookies, which are only required and set for the individual necessary online session, are automatically deleted after you leave our website.

Java applets and JavaScript are used to provide our internet services. If, for security reasons, you do not wish to use these auxiliary programs or active contents, you should deactivate the corresponding setting in your browser.
