General information about the cookies used

When you visit Our Website for the first time, the homepage displays information about privacy and the corresponding text regarding the consent to the use of cookies via a “cookie banner”. If you continue to actively use the Website and do not actively object to the use of cookies, you accept Our use of cookies and that consent will be stored in your browser so that the information does not have to be repeated on every page of the Website. If the consent is missing from your browser (for example, if you have deleted your cookies), the “cookie banner” with privacy information will reappear the next time you visit the Website. We may install and use certain technically necessary cookies for which your prior consent is not required. We may also use session cookies, which are automatically deleted at the end of your session and which do not require your prior consent. Other cookies (such as cookies to improve the browsing experience by storing certain data – so that you do not have to re-enter such data each time you connect – and by adapting the content of the website to your preferences) may be installed and used based on your consent.

Only when you click on the corresponding button yourself, your browser is connected to the servers of the social network; i.e. by clicking on the items and then clicking on the icon of the social network, you indicate that you consent to your browser being connected to the servers of the social network and that the data about your use will be transmitted to this operator of the social network, regardless of whether or not you are subscribed to such a social network.
