Cookie Settings

We use analysis and marketing services on our website, which allow us or our respective service providers to store and read out information (“cookies”) on your device, evaluate your individual usage behaviour and process your personal data in order to display advertising campaigns and measure their success. We need your freely given consent for this.

By clicking “Accept”, you consent to the access and storage of information on your terminal equipment in accordance with the privacy policy, and to the transfer of your personal data to third countries (in particular the USA) in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

In the event of a transfer to a third country, we cannot ensure in all cases that the European level of data protection will be complied with. This may result in disadvantages for you, such as insufficient provision of data subject rights, lack of control over data processing and the possibility of access by third parties, in particular security authorities, without your being entitled to any legal protection options.

You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by clicking on ”Cookie settings” at the bottom of the page.
