1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on a user’s computer by a website to provide the website operator with information about the use of our site. They are used to ensure the proper functioning of websites or to provide information to website owners.

Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. These are known as session cookies. Others remain on your device until they expire or you delete them from the cache. These are known as persistent cookies and allow us to remember information about you as a repeat visitor.

2. Why do we use cookies?

In general, we use cookies on our site for the following purposes:

Analytical purposes: Analytical cookies allow us to recognize, measure, and track users of our site in an anonymous form. The information collected includes the number of visitors to our site, where visitors came from to our site, and which pages they visited. This helps us improve the functionality of our site, such as determining whether visitors can easily find information or identifying aspects of the websites that are of most interest to them.
Usage preferences: Some cookies on our site are activated when visitors to our sites make choices regarding their use of our site. The site then “remembers” the preferences of the respective user. This allows us to tailor aspects of our site to the individual user.
Disclaimer: We use cookies on our site to record when a site visitor has seen a policy, such as this one, or given consent, such as consent to our Disclaimer. This helps improve the user experience on our site—such as avoiding repeated requests for consent to the same conditions.
Session management: The software that manages our websites uses cookies for technical purposes necessary for the internal operation of our servers. For example, we use cookies to distribute requests between several servers, authenticate users, determine which features of our site they can access, verify the origin of requests, track user session information, and determine which settings or pages to display for the proper functioning of our site.
Functional purposes: Functional cookies store information that is necessary for our applications to process and operate. For example, when transactions or application requests involve multiple steps in a workflow, cookies are used to temporarily store information from each step to facilitate the completion of the entire transaction or request.
