General Information about Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on a user’s device by a website through the web browser. They allow websites to save small amounts of information for a certain period of time.
There are different types of cookies. Some are essential for the proper functioning of a website, such as navigation or shopping cart cookies. Others, known as analytics cookies, collect information such as the number of visitors to a website and how users navigate through it. Functional cookies enable a website to remember your preferences, for example selected filter settings or your preferred language.
In addition, there are so-called profiling cookies, which record users’ preferences and browsing behaviour. Based on this information, a user profile is created. This allows advertising content to be tailored to users’ interests, resulting in more relevant and personalised advertising. In many cases, these cookies are provided by third parties whose services are used by the website operator.

Websites must obtain your explicit consent before placing cookies that are not strictly necessary for the operation of the website. You also have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
This website uses a Consent Management Platform (CMP) to manage your cookie preferences. When you visit the website, a cookie banner informs you about the use of cookies, allows you to consent to all cookies, selected categories or individual cookies, and provides detailed information about the cookies and other tracking technologies used.
The CMP stores your preferences and automatically applies them during future visits.
