Usage of Cookies
Cookies are files that are placed on your computer by our website or customer portals when you visit the site. These files store information that makes your use of this site more efficient.
Content from third parties is incorporated into some pages of this website, such as videos from YouTube. This always requires the providers of such content (herein after referred to as “third-party providers”) to register the IP address of the user, as without the IP address they cannot send the content to the browser of the user in question. Thus, the IP address is required for this content to be displayed. We make every effort to use only content from suppliers who use the IP address solely for the purposes of delivering the content. Nonetheless, we have no means of preventing third party suppliers from storing the IP address, for example for statistical purposes. Where we are aware of this happening, we inform users accordingly.
If you are signed in to your own account with one of these third-party suppliers, it is possible that the
supplier will assign information about your usage to your respective personal user accounts of these
platforms. You can prevent this from happening by signing out of your user account before using the
plugins. For details of the purpose and scope of the data acquisition and the further processing and use of data by YouTube and and for your rights in this regard and the settings you can make to protect your privacy, please refer to the data use policies of YouTube.
In addition, our website uses the web-analysis service Matomo (previously Piwik). This is a so-called web analysis service. Matomo uses so-called “cookies”, which are stored on your computer and enable us to analyse user traffic on the website. The user information produced by the cookie (including your abbreviated IP address) is transmitted to our server and stored for user-analysis purposes. This helps us to optimize our web site. Your IP address is automatically anonymised in this process, so that you remain anonymous to us as a user. The information produced by the cookie about your use of this website will not be shared with any third parties. You are able to prevent the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note, that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
