A cookie is a small file that is stored on the end device when a website is accessed in a browser. With the help of cookies, the end device, for example, can be identified, or the complete and correct display of our website can be guaranteed. Cookies also help to provide the services integrated in the website, to personalise content, and to individually adapt and analyse advertisements.
Depending on their function and purpose, cookies can be divided into five categories: essential cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies and cookies for marketing purposes. Please note that not all of the cookies listed here might be used when you access our website with a mobile end device.
These are cookies that are necessary in order for you to be able to navigate our website and operate the basic functions of the website. Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly.
Performance cookies are used to improve the user-friendliness of a website and thus enhance user experience. Performance cookies collect information about the usage of our website, e.g. the internet browser and operating system used, domain name of the website from whence you came, number of visits, average length of stay, and pages retrieved.
Functional cookies allow a website to store information that has already been provided (such as user names, login, language choice or location) and this to offer the user improved, more personal functions.
These cookies allow us to establish how many visitors interact with our website by collecting information anonymously, e.g. based on which preferences or search terms were used to access the website.
Marketing cookies are used in order to provide relevant content to the user, which is tailored to his interests, in a targeted manner. They are also used to measure and monitor the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They register whether or not one has visited a website, as well as which content was used. This information may be shared with third parties, such as advertisers. These cookies are often linked with third-party site functionalities.
You can delete some or all cookies using your browser settings. In addition, you can get information and instructions on how these cookies can be deleted or their storage blocked in advance, depending on your browser provider, under the following links:
You can also individually administer the cookies of many companies and functions that are used for advertising. Use the relevant user tools, which can be found at https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices.
In addition, most browsers offer a so-called “Do-not-track function”, with which you can state that you do not wished to be “tracked” by websites. If 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 behavioural advertising or similar. Information and instructions on how to edit this function can be found, depending on your browser provider, under the following links:
In addition, you can prevent the loading of so-called scripts as standard. NoScript allows the loading of Javascripts, Java and other plugins only from trustworthy domains of your choice. Information and instructions on how to edit these functions can be received from your browser provider (for Mozilla Firefox, e.g.: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/noscript/).
