Technically necessary cookies (session cookies)

We only use technical cookies on our website to make our website more user-friendly. For technical reasons, it is therefore necessary to allow session cookies in order to use the full range of functions of our website.

The purpose of using such cookies is to give you the opportunity to use the website in a simplified and more user- friendly way. It is therefore necessary for the browser to be able to identify you even after a page change.

The data is not used to create a user profile for you. The legal basis for the use of technical cookies is § 25 Abs. 2 TTDSG.. It is not possible to use the website without session cookies.

Social Media

We would like to get in contact with you and other interested parties, customers and users. For this we use different social networks. You will find the individual social networks we use in the following section.

As a rule, data is collected that is used for market research and advertising purposes. Such data includes the assignment of your visit to our website to your user account with the social network or the assignment by means of your stored cookies or your IP address. This is usually done by creating user profiles and the interests determined from them. This makes it possible to display tailored advertising, both on and off the social network. Therefore, as a rule, cookies may be set on you through the use of social networks.

However, we would like to point out that we have no influence on which data is collected.

Through the social media presences, we want to provide you with information in the easiest and fastest way possible or give you the opportunity to share it.

Joint responsibility is limited to those processing operations where the purpose and means of the processing are decided jointly. If you wish to assert your data subject rights, you can do so both vis-à-vis us and vis-à-vis the operator of the social media website.

Furthermore, we would like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union and that you therefore run the risk of not being able to properly enforce your rights.
