Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files consisting of a series of numbers and letters that are stored on the device you are using.

A distinction must be made between temporary (transient) cookies and persistent cookies. Transient cookies include session cookies in particular. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session. This allows our website to recognize your computer when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.
