The purpose of using such cookies is to enable you to use the website more easily and in a more user-friendly way. Therefore, it is necessary that the browser can identify you even after a page change.

The data is not used to create a user profile. The legal basis for the use of technical cookies is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. Using the website without session cookies is not possible.

Evaluation Cookies (Tracking Cookies)

In addition to the use of technical cookies, this website uses tracking cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. However, these collect and store data exclusively in pseudonymized form. They are not used to personally identify you and are not merged with data about the holder of the pseudonym. We use this information to determine the attractiveness of our website and to continuously improve its content.

Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. Cookies generally transmit the information generated about your use of this website to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored. However, because this website uses IP anonymization, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.
