Use of cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or other device by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website.
General information about the cookies used
This Website uses cookies to (e.g. to store your language preferences, to analyse your use of the Website via Google Analytics, to enable social interaction features with supported external social networking websites.). When you visit our Website for the first time, the entry page will show information on privacy and respective wording regarding the consent to the use of cookies through a “cookie banner”. If you continue to actively use the Website and do not actively object to the use of cookies, you agree to our use of cookies and such consent will be stored in your browser, so that the information does not have to be repeated on every page of the Website. Should the consent be missing in your browser (e.g. if you deleted your cookies), the “cookie banner” with privacy information will appear again the next time you visit the Website. We may install and use certain technically required cookies which therefore do not require your prior consent. We may also use session cookies which are automatically deleted at the end of your session and which also do not require your prior consent. Other cookies (such as cookies to improve the navigational experience by keeping record of certain data – this avoids you having to reintroduce such data at each connection – and by tailoring the content of the Website to your preferences) may be installed and used on the basis of your consent. You will find all relevant information about the cookies used by this Website in the table below.

Additional information about specific cookies
This Website uses Google Analytics, which is a web data analysis tool of Google Inc. (Google). Google Analytics uses cookies to help Us analyse how users use the Website.
Since we have activated the anonymization of IP-addresses transferred, Google will prior to such transfer truncate/anonymize the last octet of the IP address within Member States of the EEA. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to and shortened by Google servers in the USA. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Website, compiling reports on Website activity for Us and providing other services relating to Website activity and internet usage to Us. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Further information concerning the terms and conditions of use and data privacy can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html. Please note that on this Website, Google Analytics code is supplemented by “anonymizeIp” to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so called IP-masking).

Share on social networks
For data privacy reasons, we deliberately opted against utilizing direct social network plug-ins on our Website. Instead, we employ an alternative technical solution that allows you to decide whether to transmit data to the social network operators and when. Thus when you visit the Website, data are never automatically transmitted to a social network. Only when you actively click on the respective button yourself will your web browser connect to the servers of the social network, i.e. clicking on elements then clicking on the social network’s icon indicates your consent to your browser connecting to the servers of the social network and sending usage data to that social network operator, whether or not you are a subscriber of such social network.
We have no influence over the nature or scope of data that social networks may then gather. For information regarding the purpose and scope of data collection, further processing and use of data by social networks and regarding your data privacy rights and relevant configuration settings, see the social networks’ respective data privacy advisories.

We encourage you read the privacy notices of all websites carefully before providing personally identifiable information.
Storage duration
We will retain your Personal Data for no longer than 36 months
Security and confidentiality
We have implemented technical and organisational measures in accordance with standard industry practices to ensure an appropriate level of security of the Personal Data processed.
