Cookies
Some of our websites use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies, to only accept cookies on a case-by-case basis, to exclude cookies for specific cases or generally, and to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are necessary for electronic communication or for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Mandatory legal provisions—in particular, retention periods—remain unaffected.
