Cookies
Some of the web pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do no damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and by your internet browser.

Most of the cookies that we use are so-called "session cookies". These are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain saved on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser again when you visit next.

You can set your browser such that you are informed when cookies are set, cookies are only permitted in individual cases, cookies are only accepted for certain cases or generally excluded, and you can also set the browser to automatically delete the cookies when the browser is closed. The deactivation of cookies can limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are required for the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain functions desired by you (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of article 6, section 1, letter f GDPR. The website operator has a justified interest in the storage of cookies for the technically faultless and optimised provision of their services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your browsing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this data protection declaration.
