As soon as you visit our website, cookies are downloaded by the internet browser to your end device, for example as a small text file. Third-party technologies, like scripts, pixels and tags, which we integrate into our website for advertising purposes, also place cookies on your end device. In the following paragraphs, we’ll explain to you what we use these technologies for, and how to adjust the settings to your needs.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENTS
Cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, and they enable us to make any necessary improvements. For example, cookies make it possible to analyse what type of content is popular, and create similar topics that could be equally relevant to our visitors. This, in turn, helps us to:
Improve the design of our website and provide you with a better online experience
Try different approaches and present our visitors with content that is most relevant to them
ADVERTISING AND RETARGETING

Relevant advertising for our products on other website, which is based on your visits to our website
A combination of relevant and specific information, so that the displayed advertising matches your interests

The intended purpose of each respective category is described on this page, and your consent to said categories can also be modified here. Each category lists all related data processing, if any, as well as the cookies that are normally used for said data processing.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT COOKIES?
Cookies support a better and faster online experience. A cookie is a small text file that stores internet settings. Almost every website uses cookies. When you visit a website for the first time, the cookies are downloaded by your internet browser. The next time you visit this website using the same end device, the website recognises you and displays content that is tailored to your personal needs and interests. The cookies mentioned below are synonymous with HTML5 Session Web Storage and HTML5 Local Web Storage.
FIRST-PARTY COOKIES
First party cookies are cookies that we place on the website and with which you interact if you continue to use our website.
REJECTING COOKIES
When you reject cookies that require your consent, we’ll duly accept your decision and refrain from placing the respective cookies. If you revoke your consent for cookies, we’ll stop placing cookies that require consent starting from your visit to the next page. We’ll delete any first-party cookies, insofar as this is technically possible. You may, of course, refuse the use of analytics and marketing cookies. However, this will prevent us from understanding what you like or dislike about our website, and from making any necessary improvements. Please note that we cannot delete third-party cookies. If you would like to delete all third-party cookies, please go to your browser settings. We would also like to make you aware that revoking your consent to cookies won’t result in less advertising. Rather, it means that the displayed advertising isn’t tailored to your personal needs.

Most browsers allow you to manage cookies by either accepting or rejecting all cookies. Go to the help section of your browser to learn more about how to manage and delete cookies.
