Cookie policy

A. What are cookies?

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user’s computer system. If a user visits a website, a cookie may be stored on the user’s operating system. A cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables a unique identification of the browser when the website is called up again.

B. What types of cookies are there?

Cookies can be distinguished according to their purpose, their storage duration or their provider.

On the one hand, there are so-called necessary-cookies. These are absolutely necessary for the functions of the website and without these cookies certain services cannot be offered on the website. On the other hand, there are non-necessary-cookies that give their users valuable information about user behaviour and website visits. These cookies, also known as analysis-cookies, may serve various purposes, such as marketing or the compilation of statistics. The storage time of cookies can vary greatly. Temporary-cookies are limited to one session (so-called “session-cookies”) and make sure a website can be used without interruption during a session. During this time, a session-ID is assigned to the user and stored by these cookies. This ID can also be used for internal reports, but it is not possible to identify the user. After closing the browser, these cookies expire. By contrast, permanent-cookies are stored on the user’s computer for a longer period of time. These cookies enable analysis of user behaviour on the website or display the website with stored personalized content. You can see the exact storage period of the individual cookies in the table below.

Finally, there are so-called first-party-cookies and third-party cookies. The latter originate from other providers than the operator of the website.

C. Which cookies do we use and what for?

We use necessary-cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change. In this way, technical data or the information necessary for the correct functioning of individual offers can be stored temporarily on the user’s equipment. Without these cookies, some functions of our website cannot be offered. This is also our legitimate interest according to § 25 para. 2 Nr. 2 TTDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Necessary cookies are also those that record cookie settings. In the case of third-party applications, we can only influence whether cookies are used by us. However, we cannot remove the cookies in question from the user's terminal equipment if the user objects to the use of cookies.

The following data is stored and transmitted in the necessary-cookies:

  • Language settings.
  • Login information (user name, password, browser type and IP address so that we recognize the user on future visits).
  • Remembering search terms.

In addition, we use non-necessary-cookies on our website, which enable an analysis of the user’s surfing behavior. The analysis-cookies are used to improve the quality of our website and its content. Through the analysis-cookies we learn how the website is used and can thus continuously optimize our offer. Legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analytical purposes is the users consent in accordance with § 25 para. 1 TTDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. This includes in particular:

  • Collecting data from numerous customer visits and analysing this data as a whole. This is intended to identify certain general trends on the basis of visits to our website and is not intended to analyse data on individual customers (“statistic cookies”).
  • Personalization: We want to optimize our website for the next visit of the user. Also, we would like to display information and advertising that is tailored to the respective interests of the users. Our goal is to provide users with what they are looking for as easily and quickly as possible (“marketing cookies”).

The following data is stored and transmitted in the non-essential cookies:

  • Entered search terms.
  • Frequency of page views, number of users who visit the site, individual pages of the site that are viewed, click rate of the site and the total time spent on the site.
  • Initial page from which the user came to our website.
  • Data about whether the user has previously visited our website or whether he or she is a new visitor.
  • Use of website functions (e.g. initiating a download).

The user data collected in this way is pseudonymised by technical precautions. It is therefore no longer possible to assign the data to the calling user.

When you visit our website, an information banner informs you about the use of cookies and refers you to this cookie policy and our privacy policy. The user can either prevent the use of cookies via his browser settings, or he declares his consent to the further use of cookies by clicking on the “Agreed” button.
