SSL or TLS encryption

Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do
not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website

Most of the

Other cookies remain in your device's memory until you
delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the
site.
You can configure your browser to inform you

a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured
to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions, or to always reject them, or to
automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling
cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies which are necessary to allow
electronic communications or to provide certain
functions you wish to use are stored pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f of the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR). The website operator has a
legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of
technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to
analyze your surfing behaviour) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy

Contact form
Should you send us questions
via the contact form, we will collect the data entered on the form, including the contact details

making this request is sufficient. The data processed
before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
We will retain the data you

deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains
(e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any mandatory
statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected
by this provision.
