These include, for example, making it easier to navigate between different pages, automatically activating certain functions, saving your settings and optimising access to our services. The use of cookies also allows us to serve you relevant advertisements based on your interests and to collect statistical information about your use of our services.
This website uses the following types of cookies:
a. "session cookies" , which provide for normal system usage. Session cookies are only stored for a limited time during a session and are deleted from your device when you close your browser.
b. "Persistent cookies" which are only read by the website and are not deleted when you close your browser window, but are stored on your computer for a set period of time. This type of cookie allows us to identify you on your next visit and to save your settings, for example.
c. "Third-party cookies" , which are set by other online services that are represented with their own content on the page you visit. These can be, for example, external web analytics companies that collect and analyse access to our website.
Cookies do not contain any personal data that identifies you, but the personal data we store may be linked by us to the data contained in the cookies.

Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)
To ensure that our content is displayed correctly and graphically appealing in every browser, we use script and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts) for this website. Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser's cache so that they only need to be loaded once. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or denies access, the content is displayed in a standard font.
When script or font libraries are called up, a connection to the operator of the library is automatically established. Theoretically, it is possible for this operator to collect data. At present, it is not known whether and for what purpose the operators of the corresponding libraries actually collect data.
You can find the privacy policy of the operator of the Google library here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

This policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information that we collect from you. If you post data on other websites or disclose it to third parties on the Internet, different rules may apply.

How do we protect your information?
We take great care to implement security measures on the website to protect your information. We use industry standard practices and policies to ensure the protection of the data we collect and store and prevent the unauthorised use of such data. We also require third parties to adhere to similar security requirements in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Although we take reasonable steps to protect data, we cannot be held responsible for the actions of those who gain unauthorised access to or misuse of our website and we give no warranty, express or implied, that we can prevent such access.
