A session cookie is a small text file sent by the respective servers when visiting a website and temporarily stored on your hard drive. This file as such contains a so-called session ID, which allows various requests from your browser to be assigned to the shared session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. These cookies are deleted after you close your browser.
We also use persistent cookies (also small text files stored on your device), which remain on your device and allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit. These cookies are stored on your hard drive and delete themselves after a set period of time. Their lifespan ranges from 1 month to 10 years. This allows us to present our offering in a more user-friendly, effective, and secure way and, for example, display information tailored to your interests on the site.
Our legitimate interest in the use of cookies under Art. 6(1) Sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR is to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. The following data and information are stored in the cookies:

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google has submitted to and certified itself under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Agreement. This obliges Google to comply with the standards and regulations of European data protection law.

Our legitimate interest in using Google Analytics is based on Art. 6(1) Sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
In the event that IP anonymization is activated on this website, Google will truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it.
