Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive and associated with the browser you are using, and through which certain information flows to the entity setting the cookie (in this case, us).

§ 4 Use of cookies:

- Transient Cookies (see b)
- Persistent Cookies (see c).
b) Transient cookies are technically necessary and are automatically deleted when you close the browser (legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR). This includes session cookies in particular. They store a session ID, which can be used to assign various requests from your browser to the shared session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.
c) Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified duration, which can vary depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser. These cookies are only set if you have given your consent (legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR).

These objects store the necessary data regardless of the browser you use and do not have an automatic expiration date. If you do not want Flash cookies to be processed, you must install an appropriate add-on, such as the Adobe Flash cookie killer for Google Chrome. You can prevent the use of HTML5 storage objects by using the private mode in your browser. We also recommend regularly manually deleting your cookies and browser history.
