  • Tracking- and Marketing-Cookies

These cookies help us analyse user behaviour and, based on this information, optimise the usability. Furthermore, these cookies enable us to display advertisements adapted to your interests.

We only activate the tracking and marketing cookies mentioned below after you have given us your consent via the cookie banner. Cookies are also operated by the US companies Google LLC and FB Inc., which process data in the USA. By agreeing to the use of cookies from these providers, you also expressly consent to the processing of your data by these companies in the USA (Art 49 Paragraph 1 lit a GDPR). The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has not certified that the USA has an adequate level of data protection (judgment C-311/18). In particular, the ECJ criticised that the access options for US authorities provided for in US law are not limited to what is absolutely necessary, that there are no judicial authorisations for such access, and that EU citizens have no effective legal remedies. There is therefore a risk that your data will also be subject to access by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes.

Our cookie banner allows you to activate and deactivate our tracking and marketing cookies at any time.

  • We also use social media buttons and/or plugins on this site that allow you to connect with your social network in various ways. For these to work, the following social media sites, including Facebook (Facebook Pixel), will set cookies through our site, which may be used to enhance your profile on their site or contribute to the data they hold for various purposes outlined in their respective privacy policies.

  • This website uses retargeting technology for online advertising. This allows us to target Internet browsers with advertising that have already shown interest in our content. Studies show that interest-based advertising is more engaging for Internet users than advertising that lacks such relevance.
