We use only technically necessary cookies on our website, specifically so-called session cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device and contain certain information required for the use of our website (e.g., to maintain a session or to store language settings or login credentials). These cookies serve exclusively to ensure the functionality and security of our website and to provide our online services in a user-friendly manner. Personal data is processed only to the extent technically necessary. However, cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses to your computer. You can disable the use of cookies via your browser settings. Please note, however, that this may prevent certain functions of our website from working properly.

We use the following cookies:

1. Session Cookies: These cookies are automatically deleted as soon as you close your browser. They are used to improve the website’s usability, in particular by storing a so-called session ID, which uniquely identifies your browser during a visit.
2. Technically necessary cookies: These cookies are required for our website to function properly—for example, to display content correctly, navigate the site, or save language settings. They may also be necessary to enable form functionality. Without these cookies, certain basic functions cannot be used.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. The procedure varies depending on the browser—you’ll usually find the relevant options under “Privacy” or “Cookies.” Please note that if you disable technically necessary cookies, certain features of our website may no longer function properly.

Data processing using temporary and technically necessary cookies is based on Article 6(1) 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in providing a secure, stable, and user-friendly website.
