Information about which cookies we use and how you can control them.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow certain settings or information to be saved between your visits so that you don't have to re-enter them each time.
There are different types of cookies: session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your browser session, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period. Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third parties (third-party cookies).
We only use cookies for the purposes described in this policy. The legal basis for technically necessary cookies is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest). For non-essential cookies we obtain your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
