To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies on various pages. These are small text files stored on your device. Some cookies are deleted after your browser session ends (session cookies), while others remain on your device and allow us or our partner companies (third-party cookies) to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). The lifespan of persistent cookies varies depending on the cookie.

If personal data is also processed through cookies, this is done under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to maintain our legitimate interests in ensuring the best possible functionality of the website and a user-friendly experience.
