Cookies allow us, among other things, to recognize your device when you return to our website, remember your preferences and choices, improve your user experience, and customize our marketing on our pages and in other possible services.

2. Cookies we use

Various types of cookies are used on our site. They can be categorized by their duration and purpose.

In terms of duration, we use both temporary and persistent cookies. Temporary cookies are stored only until you close your browser. We also use persistent cookies, which remain for a longer, predetermined period.

Necessary cookies

Some cookies are necessary for the technical operation and use of our website. These cookies do not collect information about users that could be used for marketing or remembering sites chosen by the user.

Performance measurement

Our performance measurement cookies collect information about how users interact with our website (e.g., most visited pages). These cookies do not collect identifiable information; instead, they are stored anonymously and used only to improve website functionality.

Our website uses Google Analytics cookies. The information collected by these cookies is transferred and stored on the service provider's servers, some of which may be located outside the EU and, in this case, local data protection legislation applies.

Third-party cookies

Our pages feature buttons that facilitate content sharing across various online communication environments and social media. If you use these aforementioned buttons, a cookie may be set on your device by the service you selected. These cookies are not under our control. For more information on the use of third-party cookies, please refer to the website of the respective service.

Our website may accept cookies from these third-party services. These may include, for example, Facebook or Google services.

3. How to manage cookies?

Most web browsers accept cookies, but you can usually change these browser settings yourself to prevent new cookies from being stored, delete existing cookies, or request a notification before new cookies are stored.

If you want your browser to block the use of cookies, configure the settings according to your browser manufacturer's instructions (usually in the Help, Tools, or Edit menu).

If you prevent cookies from being stored or disable them, some functions of our website may not work. Disabling a cookie or a cookie category does not yet delete the cookie from your browser; you must do that yourself through your browser. You can get instructions on how to do this from your browser provider.
