1.1 Session cookies

Using a session cookie, our web server remembers which pages of the website you have viewed during the current visit and in what order. This is important because the web server itself has no memory for this. By storing information from these cookies anonymously and analyzing it afterwards, we can also optimize the layout and navigation on our site. This type of cookies is volatile; they are automatically deleted as soon as you close your web browser. In addition, they do not collect personal data, such as your IP address.

1.2 Permanent cookies

With the help of a permanent cookie we can recognize you during a subsequent visit to our website. The website can therefore be specially adjusted to your preferences. For example, if you consent to the placing of cookies, we will record this in a permanent cookie and offer it to your browser; if you have set your browser to accept this cookie, you do not need to give your consent next time. This saves you time and allows you to use our website more pleasantly. Permanent cookies can use your IP address to remember you; you can reject them through your browser settings and delete them through the "Clear History" feature.

Google can provide this information to third parties if Google is legally obliged to do so, or if third parties process the information on behalf of Google. We have no influence on this. We have allowed Google to use this anonymous information for other Google services.

The information is transferred to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
