Cookies Policy

The Internet pages of this website likely use cookies by default. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser. Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. A specific Internet browser can be recognised and identified using the unique cookie ID. Through the use of cookies, we can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be easily possible without the cookie setting – something that has become a standard practice with websites for many years. By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised with the user in mind.

The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilise our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie. The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable. Please refer to your browsers own settings and documentation, or search online for latest information on how to do this.

It is possible to remove any cookies that have already been set by changing your browser settings. Please see some quick links to the most popular browsers.
