What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are automatically saved to your end device when you visit our website. Most cookies are deleted from your hard drive again once the browser session has finished; others remain on your terminal device.

Why do we use cookies?

Cookies allow us to identify your device again on your next visit to our website and to tailor the website to your needs and improve it. To do this, we analyse and statistically evaluate your visits to our website. Technical cookies are required for the functionalities of our website.

Analysis, tracking and marketing

To better understand the usage behaviour of users, we collect analysis and tracking data within our website.

We declare the various different data types and how these are used and ask users for active consent prior to the processing. To do this, we display options for (cookie) settings. If consent is not given, analytics data is evaluated anonymously for the individual session and no tracking data is processed.

Consent may be revoked at any time in the (cookie) settings.

We use Piwik PRO to capture analytics data (operator contact details: Piwik PRO SA, ul. św. Antoniego 2/4, 50-073 Wrocław, Poland).

If users have consented to the processing of usage data for the purposes of analysis, the following applies:

  • When using the data and information registered, we draw conclusions about usage behaviour. The data cannot be assigned to a specific person because the IP addresses are shortened. Individual users are thus anonymised for the analysis. However, users are distinguishable.
  • The findings are used to optimise the digital services and make targeted adjustments.
  • The data is held on servers in the European Union.
