Use of cookies

In order for this website to function properly, we sometimes place small files – known as cookies – on your device. This is common practice for most websites.

A cookie is a small text file that a web portal leaves on your computer, tablet computer or smartphone when you visit it. This allows our website to “remember” certain entries and settings (e.g. login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, and you do not need to enter them again each time you visit and navigate the portal.

There are several types of cookies:

Session cookies

These are stored on your computer only during your Internet session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They usually store an anonymous session ID that allows you to use a website without having to log in to each individual page. However, they do not collect any information from your computer. We use session IDs to make it easier for you to navigate our site.

Resident cookies

A resident cookie is stored as a file on your computer and remains there when you close your web browser. The cookie can be read by the website that created it when you revisit that website. Our own cookies are usually not valid for more than 14 days.

You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish. You can find out how here: aboutcookies.org. You can delete all cookies stored on your computer and set most browsers to prevent cookies from being stored. But then you may have to make some settings manually every time you visit a page and accept the impairment of some functions.
