3.Cookies

We would like to inform you that we use so-called cookies in the scope described below.
On the one hand, we send you so-called persistent cookies, with the help of which we write down the application criteria entered by you in our database and save them for our internal evaluations. We would like to use the data collected in this way – of course anonymously – to better tailor our offer to the needs of our customers. If you want to stop this, you can do so by disabling the cookie (see below). The deactivation has no influence on the availability or illustration of our site.
On the other hand, we use so-called session cookies, with the help of which you receive an anonymous session ID for the duration of a visit to our pages. This session ID allows us to recognize you as a specific anonymous user. The session cookie and your session ID will be deleted at the end of your visit by closing the browser on our site.

What are cookies?

  1. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transmit to your computer via your web browser. They allow our systems to temporarily distinguish your browser from others.
  2. The help function in the menu bar of most web browsers tells you how to set your browser so that it no longer accepts cookies or only to a limited extent. It will also tell you how to configure your browser to let you know when a cookie is “offered” to your computer. Unfortunately, you can only fully use and experience the functionality of our website with an activated cookies acceptance.
  3. We therefore recommend that you leave the cookie function of your server switched on when you visit our pages. We also encourage you to completely unsubscribe after you have finished using a computer that you share with others and whose browser is set to accept cookies.

We base the use of cookies on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The data processing is done to improve the functioning of the website and is therefore necessary for the protection of our legitimate interests.
