Essential cookies

These are cookies that are needed to navigate our websites and to serve the basic functions of the website.

Performance cookies

Performance cookies are used to improve the user-friendliness of a website and thus to enhance the user experience. Performance Cookies collect information about the usage of our website, i.e. Internet browser used and operating system; domain name of the website from which you came, number of visits, average duration of visit, and pages accessed.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies allow a web page to store information already provided (such as username, login, language selection, or location) and provide the user with enhanced, more personalized features.

Analysis cookies

With these cookies, we can determine how our website is used and, for example, on the basis of which preferences and search terms it is accessed.

Cookies for marketing purposes

Marketing cookies are used to offer more targeted content relevant to the user and adapted to their interests. They are also used to measure and control the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They index whether you have visited a website or not, as well as what content has been used. This information may be shared with third parties, such as advertisers. These cookies are often linked to third parties' site functionalities.

Deletion of cookies and do-not-track adjustment

You also can manage cookies that are used by many companies and functions for advertising individually. Use the appropriate user tools, available at www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices.

Most browsers also offer a so-called "Do-Not-Track feature" that lets you specify that you do not want to be "tracked" by websites. With this feature enabled, your browser will tell ad networks, websites, and applications that you do not want to be tracked for behavior-based advertising and the like. Information and instructions on how to edit this feature, depending on our browser, are available at the following links:

In addition, you can prevent the loading of so-called scripts by default. NoScript allows JavaScript, Java and other plugins to run only on trusted domains of your choice. For information and instructions on how to use this feature, contact your browser provider (for Mozilla Firefox, for example: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/).
