Cookie Policy
This website uses “cookies” (text files placed on your computer) to ensure the website functions, to help analyze the website to improve our services, or for marketing purposes.
Overview of Used Cookies
Below is a description of the cookies we place and the third-party cookies we use.
Necessary Cookies
Functional cookies are necessary for the website to function. Without these cookies, certain parts cannot be used.
Social Media Share Buttons
The site may include share buttons to share pages on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. These buttons are pieces of code from the social media platforms themselves and use a cookie. This cookie remembers that a visitor is logged in so that they do not have to log in again on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn when they want to share something.
To see what they do with personal data they receive with this code, you can view the respective privacy statements on their websites:
These statements and links can change. We do our best to keep these links up-to-date.
Embedded Content
We may use content hosted on other sites and make it accessible on this website. Examples include YouTube or Vimeo videos. Similar to social buttons, these codes often use cookies. What they do with the cookies and personal data can be found in the privacy policies of the respective service. We have no control over this.
Analytical Cookies
Analytical cookies collect (often anonymously) data and statistics to understand how visitors use the website, allowing us to improve the website and our services.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics collects (anonymized) data about visit behavior on this website. This allows us to see how visitors navigate the website. We use this information to make decisions about the layout of our website. We also optimize the functioning of the website with this. To enable careful processing, we have taken the following measures:
- We have signed a data processing agreement with Google;
- We have masked the last octet of the IP address, when you have indicated that you do not want statistical cookies placed;
- We have disabled all options that Google offers to 'share data with Google';
- We do not use other Google services in combination with the Google Analytics cookies.
Do you not want your visit behavior to be tracked? Then you can download a plugin from Google that prevents this and is available for Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Opera. This setting then applies to all websites you visit, not just this website. https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
