Cookie Notice

We use cookies exclusively for statistical purposes, to optimise our website for visitors, and to measure session length. The latter serves to log users out automatically after a certain period of inactivity. No personal data is collected in the process.

Our website fulfils the legal obligation to inform you about the use of cookies. Cookies help to make websites more user-friendly, efficient and secure. A cookie is a small file that our website stores on your device.

No automatic collection of personal data

Cookies can contain various information that makes it possible to identify the visitor (e.g. name, address, e-mail address or telephone number). However, our website only has access to the data that you actively provide to us. Without your involvement, our website can neither collect your e-mail address nor access other files on your computer.
