Cookie usage

General

Cookies are small text files that are being saved on your computer when an Online Information is visited. In case you access this Online Information another time, your browser sends the cookies’ content back to the respective offeror and, thus, allows the re-identification of the terminal device. Reading the cookies allows us to design our Online Information optimally for you and makes it easier for you to use them.

Deactivation and deletion of cookies

When you visit our internet pages, you will be informed in a cookie layer pop up that cookies are being set on our page. In case you decide to block cookies, your browser allows you to deactivate and delete all cookies at all times. To do so, please consult your browser’s help functions. This might, however, lead to individual functions no longer being available. Please note that deactivation and deletion of cookies, for technical reasons, only can be set for the browser that was used for.

a) Absolutely necessary cookies

Certain cookies are necessary so we can securely render our Online Information. This category includes, e.g.:

Web analysis

We need statistical information about the usage of our Online Information to design them to be more user-friendly, to perform range measurements, and to perform user experience research. For this purpose, we use the web analysis tools described in this section.

The usage profiles created by these tools using analysis cookies or by evaluating log files do not contain personal data. The tools either do not use user IP addresses at all or shorten them immediately after gathering them.

The tools offerors process data only as processors subject to our directives and not for their own purposes.

In the following, please find information on each tool offeror and how you are able to object to the collection and processing of data through the tool.

Be advised that with regard to tools which use opt out cookies, the opt out function is related to a device or browser and is thus valid for the terminal device or browser used at this time.

Beyond this, you can generally avoid the forming of usage profiles by generally deactivating cookie usage.
