We may update this statement periodically without notice. Therefore, we recommend that you regularly review its content. The current version of the statement was issued on September 1, 2022. To allow visitors to fully browse our site and offer attractive content, we use various cookies and tracking technologies.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a short text file sent to the browser by visited websites. It allows websites to remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language or other settings. This can make your next visit easier and more beneficial than your first visit, for example, you don't have to select your preferred language again. Cookies are therefore important, as browsing the web would be more complicated without them.
What cookies do we process?
A website visitor who has cookies enabled in their web browser accepts the handling of cookies on a particular website. Cookies cannot explore your computer or other devices, or read data stored in them. Temporary cookies (so-called session cookies) are activated whenever a website is visited and are automatically deleted after browsing the website. Persistent cookies (so-called long-term cookies) remain stored on the computer or other device even after browsing the website.
What purposes do we use cookies for?
We use cookies for many purposes. For example, we use them to store your safe search preferences, select relevant ads, track the number of visitors to the site, facilitate registration for our services, protect your data, or remember your settings.
In general, cookies can be categorized by purpose into 4 categories:
-
Essential

Advertising
Essential cookies allow you to generally use the website and use basic functions such as secure areas, shopping carts, and online payments. These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes, nor do they remember your Internet browsing history.
With the help of essential cookies:
▪ we identify you when you log into the site
▪ we ensure that you find the necessary service on our website even if we reorganize our website in some way, etc. Without their use, we cannot guarantee the full functionality of our site.
Functional cookies serve to provide services or to remember settings to ensure maximum comfort when using the website.
With the help of functional cookies:
-
we remember the settings you have chosen, such as your preferred language
-
we remember if you have already given some consent or disapproval, e.g., confirmed the Cookies Policy (so we don't bother you with this question a second time)
-
we can offer you support in the form of proactive chat sessions
-
we pre-fill your data in forms, etc.
Analytical cookies collect information about how you use our website, e.g., which pages you visit, if you encounter any errors, such as in forms. These cookies do not collect any information by which it would be possible to identify you – all collected data is anonymous and is used to know our website traffic, analyze visitor behavior, and determine what content and information are interesting to our visitors.
With the help of analytical cookies:
-
we obtain statistical data on how you use our website

we test different concepts of our website to improve your user experience, etc. Any stored analytical information is anonymous and used solely for our own technical and marketing purposes.
Advertising cookies allow us to display targeted advertising on our website based on tracking your behavior and searches on the Internet, thanks to identifying your browser settings. These cookies do not identify a specific person but the settings and preferences of an anonymous user of a specific computer. Advertising cookies are also used to evaluate the effectiveness of a particular advertisement. Data from these cookies is obtained directly by the operators of advertising systems, and we do not have access to them.
With the help of advertising cookies:
