Use of cookies and similar technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device or enable access to information already stored on your device.
We distinguish between technically necessary cookies and cookies or technologies used for analytics, statistics or external media functions.
Technically necessary cookies
Technically necessary cookies are required to ensure that our website and its basic functions can be provided properly. This may include, for example, cookies used to store your privacy settings or your selection in the consent management system.
No prior consent is required for technically necessary cookies.
Cookies and services requiring consent
Cookies and technologies that are not technically necessary, in particular those used for analytics, statistics or external media services, are only used if you have given your prior explicit consent.
The legal basis for the associated processing of personal data is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Your consent is voluntary and may be withdrawn or changed at any time with effect for the future. You can do this by reopening the cookie settings available on our website.
The lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn remains unaffected.
Google Analytics
If you have given your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 on this website, a web analytics service provided by Google.
The provider for users within the European Economic Area is:
Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House
Barrow Street
Dublin 4
Ireland
Google Analytics enables us to statistically evaluate the use of our website and to improve our online services.
The following information in particular may be processed:
- pages and content accessed,
- time and duration of page views,
- technical information about browser and operating system,
- device type and screen resolution,
- referrer or origin of a website visit,
- approximate geographical information,
- interactions with the website, and
- randomly generated or pseudonymous identifiers.
Google Analytics uses cookies and comparable technologies for this purpose.
IP addresses
According to Google, Google Analytics 4 does not log or permanently store individual IP addresses. For users within the European Union or the European Economic Area, IP addresses are only processed temporarily to determine certain geographical information and are then discarded.
Legal basis
Google Analytics is activated only after you have given your prior consent.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via the cookie settings on our website.
Storage period
The storage period for user and event data depends on the configuration of our Google Analytics property. Google Analytics 4 allows retention periods of, in particular, 2 or 14 months for standard properties.
Aggregated statistical evaluations may remain available for longer periods independently of this.
Transfers to third countries
In connection with the use of Google Analytics, personal data may also be processed by Google LLC and other companies of the Google group outside the European Economic Area, in particular in the United States.
According to Google, Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Where required, Google also uses further appropriate safeguards for international data transfers.

Google may also process some of this data for its own purposes.
