Cookie-Richtlinien

What is a Cookie?

Coo­kies are small text files, crea­ted by the web­site visi­ted, that con­tain data. They are stored on the visitor’s com­pu­ter to give the user access to various func­tions. Both ses­si­on coo­kies and non-ses­si­on coo­kies are used on this web­site (the “Site”). A ses­si­on coo­kie is tem­po­r­a­ri­ly stored in the com­pu­ter memo­ry while the visi­tor is brow­sing the web­site. This coo­kie is era­sed when the user clo­ses their web brow­ser or after a cer­tain time has pas­sed (mea­ning that the ses­si­on expi­res). A non-ses­si­on coo­kie remains on the visitor’s com­pu­ter until it is dele­ted.

Why do we use Cookies?

We use coo­kies to learn more about the way visi­tors inter­act with our con­tent and help us to impro­ve the expe­ri­ence when visi­ting our Site.

Site Functionality

The share func­tion is used by visi­tors to recom­mend our Site and con­tent on social net­works such as Face­book and Twit­ter. Coo­kies store infor­ma­ti­on on how visi­tors use the share func­tion – alt­hough not at an indi­vi­du­al level – so that the Site can be impro­ved. If you do not accept coo­kies, no infor­ma­ti­on is stored.

For some of the func­tions within our Site we use third par­ty sup­pli­ers, for exam­p­le, when you visit a page with vide­os embedded from or links to You­Tube. The­se vide­os or links (and any other con­tent from third par­ty sup­pli­ers) may con­tain third par­ty coo­kies and you may wish to con­sult the poli­ci­es of the­se third par­ty web­sites for infor­ma­ti­on regar­ding their use of coo­kies.

Cookies we Use:

This Site uses Goog­le Ana­ly­tics which use coo­kies. At the aggre­ga­te level, coo­kies store infor­ma­ti­on on how visi­tors use the Site, inclu­ding the num­ber of pages dis­play­ed, whe­re the visi­tor comes from, and the num­ber of visits, to impro­ve the web­site and ensu­re a good user expe­ri­ence. If you do not accept coo­kies, no infor­ma­ti­on is stored.

How to reject Cookies?

We will not use coo­kies to coll­ect per­so­nal­ly iden­ti­fia­ble infor­ma­ti­on about a visi­tor.

Howe­ver you can choo­se to reject or block the coo­kies set by {your­web­site} by chan­ging your brow­ser set­tings – see the “Help func­tion” within your brow­ser for fur­ther details. Plea­se note that most brow­sers auto­ma­ti­cal­ly accept coo­kies so if you do not wish coo­kies to be used, you may need to actively dele­te or block the coo­kies.

For infor­ma­ti­on on the use of coo­kies in mobi­le pho­ne brow­sers and for details on how to reject or dele­te such coo­kies, plea­se refer to your mobi­le pho­ne manu­al.
