Cookies

This website uses "cookies" to make our offer more user-friendly, more effective and safer.

A "cookie" is a small text file which we transmit to the cookie file of the browser on the hard disk of your computer via our web server. This enables our website to recognise you as a user when a connection is established between our web server and your browser. Cookies help us to establish the frequency of use and the number of users of our websites. The content of the cookies used by us is limited to an identification number which no longer allows any direct reference to the user. The main objective of a cookie is to identify visitors to the website.

Two types of cookies are used on this website:

  • Session cookies: are temporary cookies which are stored in the cookie file of your browser until you leave our website and which are automatically deleted at the end of your visit.
  • Persistent cookies: are saved on your device and allow us to recognise your browser on your next visit in order to enhance user-friendliness.

You may adjust your browser settings so that you will be informed about the placement of cookies and only allow them on a case-by-case basis, refuse to accept them for specific cases only or generally refuse or automatically delete cookies when you close your browser. The functionality of this website may be restricted as a result of deactivating cookies.

Server logfiles

In order to optimise this website in terms of system performance, user-friendliness and provision of useful information about our services, the website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transfers to us. This includes your internet protocol address (IP address), browser and language settings, operating system, referrer URL, your internet service provider and the date/time.

The legal basis for processing is our legitimate interest to ensure system security, to technically administer the website and to optimise our service quality.

This data will not be combined with personal data sources. We reserve the right to check this data at a later date if and when we learn of specific indications of unlawful use.

Server logs will be stored for a maximum of four weeks.
