What are cookies?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit our website. They allow us to recognise your device and track its usage on our website.
Why do we use cookies?
Our website uses cookies for the purpose of distinguishing you from other users of our website by storing, generally non-personally identifiable, information (for example, session information such as the number of times you visit our website and the location from which you are accessing the website).
Cookies also help us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and allows us to improve our website. This includes more efficient navigation between pages, remembering your preferences and general improvement of the user experience.
Cookies will generally not allow us to obtain personal data regarding you, such as your name or address. Where we collect personal data about you when we use cookies or any similar technology, we shall only do so in compliance with our Privacy Policy. You may refer to our Privacy Policy on how we treat personal data that we have collected.
What types of cookies do we use?
We use both first party cookies, which are issued from our website’s own domain, and third-party cookies, which belong to and are managed by other parties, such as our partners or service providers.
The cookies used on our website can be divided into two categories:
The classification as technically necessary or technically non-necessary also determines the legal basis on which we use the respective cookie:
Technically necessary cookies
Technically necessary cookies are required for our website to function properly; they enable you to navigate our website efficiently and use its functional features. An example of this is, for example, the reminder of recently performed actions (e.g., entered text) when you return to a page within the same session.
The legal basis for the collection and processing of personal information in the context of the use of technically necessary cookies is the fulfilment of our contractual obligations or the protection of our legitimate interests, which consist in particular in providing you with our website with its essential functions.
Technically non-essential cookies
Technically non-essential cookies are not necessary for the proper functioning of our website, but they enable us to improve the content of our website, compile statistics for internal market analysis purposes, provide you with a more personalised online experience or provide additional features.
Technically non-essential cookies can in turn be divided into the following subcategories:
Performance cookies: these cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by providing data about which websites or search terms bring users to our website, how long they typically stay on our website, or how many subpages they view on average. We use this data to improve the content of our website and to compile statistics for internal market analysis purposes about individual use of our website.
Functional cookies: these cookies allow our website to remember the choices you make (for example, your username, language, or the region you live in) to provide you with a more personalised online experience. They also allow you to watch videos and interact with social tools such as blogs, chat rooms and forums.
Targeting/advertising cookies: these cookies are used to provide content that is more relevant to you and your interests (direct marketing). They can be used to provide targeted advertising or to limit the frequency with which you are shown an advertisement. They also help us measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. In addition, we may use these cookies to store which websites you have visited.
Analytical cookies: Analytical cookies are used by third parties. These cookies allow third parties to recognise that you have visited our platform. We and our third-party providers may also combine information obtained from these cookies with personal data available from other sources, including data collected about you when you use other websites and data collected about you when you are offline, whether on our platform or data maintained by the third-party provider.
The legal basis for the use of technically non-essential cookies (and the associated collection and processing of personal information) is your consent given voluntarily when you first visit our website as part of our cookie banner.
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. Your consent to the use of technically non-essential cookies and the associated processing of your personal information is not necessary for the use of our website, i.e., you can also use our website without technically non-essential cookies.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google Inc. This means that the data collected can in principle be transmitted to a Google server in the USA, whereby the IP addresses are anonymised by means of IP anonymisation so that an allocation is not possible. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can object to the collection and processing of this data by Google Analytics by setting an opt-out cookie that prevents the future collection of your data when you visit this website: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f) GDPR, our legitimate interest.
Ads and Conversion
We also place ads on Google and LinkedIn and also use the "visitor action pixel" (Conversion Tracking) of Google and LinkedIn within our website.
With your consent, Google and LinkedIn Conversion Tracking stores and processes information about your user behaviour on our website and uses cookies for this purpose, which are stored locally on your end device if you have reached our website via a Google and LinkedIn advertisement.
We use Google and LinkedIn Conversion Tracking for marketing and optimisation purposes, in particular to analyse the use of our website and to be able to improve individual functions and offers as well as the user experience. Through the statistical evaluation of user behaviour, we want to improve our offer and make it more interesting for users. This is also our legitimate interest in the processing of the above data by the third-party provider (legal basis Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit f GDPR).
You can prevent the installation of cookies by deleting existing cookies and deactivating the storage of cookies in the settings of your web browser.
