Cookies
We and our partners use cookies to provide the relevant services. This also applies when you visit our website or access our services. A “cookie” is a small data package that is assigned to your device by this website when you visit a web page. Cookies are useful and can be used for a variety of purposes. These include, for example, making it easier to navigate between different pages, automatically activating certain functions, saving your preferences and optimising access to our services. The use of cookies also enables us to show you relevant advertising tailored to your interests and to collect statistical information about your use of our services. This website uses the following types of cookies: a. “session cookies”, which ensure normal system usage. Session cookies are only stored for a limited time during a session and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. b. “permanent cookies”, which are only read by the website and are not deleted when the browser window is closed, but are stored on your computer for a specific period of time. This type of cookie enables us to identify you on your next visit and, for example, to save your preferences. c. “Third-party cookies” that are set by other online services that have their own content on the page you visit. These can be, for example, external web analytics companies that record and analyze access to our website. Cookies do not contain any personal data that identifies you, but the personal data we store may be linked by us to the data contained in the cookies. You can remove cookies via your device settings. Follow the instructions provided. Please note that disabling cookies may restrict certain functions when using our website. The tool we use is based on Snowplow Analytics technology.

Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)
To ensure that our content is displayed correctly and graphically appealing in every browser, we use script and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts) for this website. Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser's cache so that they only need to be loaded once. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or denies access, the content will be displayed in a standard font. When you access script or font libraries, a connection is automatically established to the operator of the library. In theory, this means that this operator has the opportunity to collect data. It is currently not known whether and for what purpose the operators of the respective libraries actually collect data. You can find the privacy policy of the operator of the Google library here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy .
Collection of data by third parties
This Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. If you post information on other websites or disclose information to third parties online, different terms may apply. Therefore, please always read the terms and conditions and privacy policies carefully before disclosing information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the business practices of companies we do not own or control, or to anyone other than our employees and staff, including third parties to whom we may disclose information as described in this Privacy Policy.
How do we protect your data?
We implement the security measures on our website with great care and protect your data. While we take reasonable steps to protect data, we cannot be held responsible for the actions of those who gain unauthorized access to or misuse our website, and we make no warranty, express or implied, that we can prevent such access.
Transfer of data outside the European Economic Area
Please note that some recipients may not be located in the European Economic Area. If they are, we will only transfer your data to countries approved by the European Commission with an adequate level of data protection or ensure an adequate level of data protection through a legal agreement.
Corporate transaction
We may transfer data in the event of a corporate transaction (e.g., a sale of a substantial portion of the business, a merger, consolidation, or asset sale). If any of the above events occur, the acquiring entity or company will assume the rights and obligations set forth in this Privacy Policy.
