​We and our partners use cookies to be able to offer corresponding services. This also applies when you visit our website or access our services.


A "cookie" is a small packet of data that is assigned to your device when you visit a website from this website. Cookies are useful and can be used for various purposes. These include, for example, facilitating navigation between different pages, automatically activating certain functions, saving your settings and providing optimized access to our services.

​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 certain period of time. This type of cookie allows us to recognize you on your next visit and to save your settings, for example.


​c. "third-party cookies", which 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 visits to our website.


Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information, but we may link the personal information we have to the information contained in the cookies.

Use of font 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 script or font libraries are called up, a connection to the library operator is automatically established. There is theoretically the possibility that this operator collects data. It is currently not known whether and for what purpose the operators of the respective libraries actually collect data.


The privacy policy of the Google Library operator can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.


Collection of data by third parties


This policy applies only to the use and disclosure of information that we collect from you. If you post data on other websites or share it with third parties on the Internet, different terms may apply. Therefore, when sharing data, always read the terms and conditions and privacy policy carefully.


​This Privacy Policy does not apply to the business practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to anyone other than our officers and employees, including third parties, to whom we disclose this information as described in this Privacy Policy.


How do we protect your data?


We implement the security measures on the website with great care and protect your data. [For example, please explain the security measures here: We use industry-standard procedures and policies to help protect the information we collect and store and to prevent unauthorized use of that information. We also require third parties to comply with similar security requirements in accordance with this Privacy Policy]. Although 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 warranties, express or implied, that we can prevent such access.
