There are two types of cookies - permanent and temporary (session cookies).

Absolutely necessary cookies

Certain cookies are necessary to enable us to provide our services securely via the web site. This category includes, e.g.:

- Cookies that identify or authenticate our users;

- Cookies that temporarily store certain user data (e.g. the content of an online form);

- Cookies that store certain user preferences (e.g. search settings or language settings);

- Cookies, which store data to ensure uninterrupted playback of video or audio content.

Analytical cookies

We use analytical cookies to record user behaviour (e.g. banner ad clicks, search queries entered) and to statistically evaluate these actions.

Advertising cookies

We also use cookies for advertising purposes. User behaviour profiles created using such cookies (e.g. banner ad clicks, subpages visited, search queries entered) are used by us to show you ads or offers that are tailored to your interests ("interest-based advertising").

Third party advertising cookies

We also allow other companies to evaluate our users' data through advertising cookies. This allows us and third parties to serve interest-based ads to our web page users that are based on an analysis of your usage behavior (e.g., ad banner clicks, subpages visited, queries entered), and is not limited to our online offers.

"Cookies on forwarding

Our referral tracking partners set cookies on your computer ("referral cookie") in case you have reached our website through an advertisement of the respective partner. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days. In the event that you visit certain pages that we host and that cookie has not yet expired, we and the relevant conversion tracking partner may see that a particular user has clicked on the advertisement and been referred to our page. The information collected by the referral cookie is used to create referral statistics and to determine the total number of users who have clicked on a relevant ad and been referred to a page that has a referral tracking tag.

Web space analysis

We need statistical information about the use of our website to make it more accessible, to measure reach and to do market research.

For this purpose, we use the web analysis tools described in this section.

The user profiles created by these tools using analytics cookies or by evaluating log files do not contain personal data. The tools either do not use users' IP addresses at all or truncate them immediately after collection.

The providers of the tools process the data only as processors of personal data according to our instructions and not for their own purposes.

Below you will find information about each tool provider and how you can object to the collection and processing of personal data through the tool.

Please note that for tools that use opt-out cookies, the opt-out feature is device or browser specific and, therefore, valid for the end device or browser currently in use. If you use multiple endpoint devices or browsers, you must select the opt-out feature on each endpoint device and in each browser used.

In addition, you can generally prevent the creation of user profiles by disabling the use of cookies.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). We use Google Analytics with the additional feature offered by Google to anonymize IP addresses. Google shortens the IP address already within the EU and only in exceptional cases in the USA, in both cases only shortened IP addresses are recorded.

You can object to the collection and processing of your data by downloading and installing a browser plug-in from the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
