What are cookies and why do we use them?

Cookies are small files that websites place on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you browse them. These files contain information about your visit to the website. The use of cookies is secure and enables the processing of your personal data. By using cookies, websites can recognize you on subsequent visits, which can be convenient if you prefer not to log in every time. There are different types of cookies, including functional, non-functional, and tracking cookies, each serving specific purposes related to website functionality and user tracking.

Essential Cookies (known as functional cookies) are necessary to allow the website to function effectively. These cookies will be placed as standard and won’t be removed if you choose not to accept cookies. Essential cookies ensure that you can stay logged in during your visit to the website. We always place essential cookies.

Statistic cookies (known as non-functional cookies)are not essential for the effective working of the website, but they help us to offer the visitor a good website. These cookies give us, for example, an insight into which sections of our website are popular and in which areas we can improve our website. Where we don’t offer the option to accept or decline non-functional cookies, only anonymous cookies will be used.

Marketing cookies (known as tacking cookies) are used to record a history of the user's actions on multiple websites. This allows advertisements which are shown on a website to be customized and aligned to the interests of the individual visitor. We do not use tracking cookies unless you have explicitly given us your permission.
