We use the following cookies on our Websites:
Type 1: “essential”
These files are necessary to enable users to navigate the website and use its functions. The use of the necessary cookies on our sites is possible without your consent. Consequently, these cookies cannot be activated or deactivated individually. However, you can deactivate them at any time in your browser. The information collected by these cookies is automatically deleted from your computer or other device at the end of your session.
Type 2: “functional”
These cookies allow our site to remember choices you have made previously (such as your username, your choice of language or region) and provide better and more personalized opportunities. These cookies can also be used to remember changes to text size, font and other parts of the website. The information collected by these cookies is anonymous and does not enable us to track your activity on other websites. This information is automatically deleted at the end of the session.
Type 3: “Analysis and testing”
These cookies enable us to better understand site users’ preferences and, through analysis, improve and develop products and services. This data is collected anonymously and processed to investigate trends, without identifying individual users’ personal data. This type of cookie collects information about how our website is used (which pages of our website are visited, the number of subpages visited, the time spent on our site, the order of pages visited, search terms, country/region/city of access, the percentage of mobile devices used). We also record traffic, clicks and scrolls. The IP address of your computer transmitted for technical reasons is automatically anonymised and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the individual user.
3. Do cookies contain personal data?
As a rule, cookies are not personal data. However, certain information stored in cookies (e.g. preferences), especially when combined with other website user information, may be treated as personal data. Personal data collected by means of “cookies” may only be processed in order to perform specific functions for the user as described above. Such data is encrypted in such a way as to prevent access by unauthorized persons.

7. Third party cookies used
A. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics tools that collect anonymous information about your visit to the site (such as the pages displayed, the time spent on the site or the time between pages) to generate anonymous statistics about how the pages work and to enable us to analyse website activity. Cookies are provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. More in Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
Google LLC processes your data collected by Google Analytics as our processor – we decide on the purposes for which Google LLC processes your data in connection with the use of Google Analytics.
Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files which are stored on your computer and which enable the analysis of website usage. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your abbreviated IP address) is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Our website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the “_anonymizeIp()” extension, which ensures the anonymisation of the IP address and excludes direct identification. In EU Member States or other states that are party to the EEA Agreement, your IP address is previously shortened by Google. Only in exceptional cases will a full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be combined with other Google data.
You can prevent cookies from being saved by using the appropriate settings in your browser software. However, please note that in this case some functions of the Website may not be available. Furthermore, you may block the recording of data generated by the cookie by downloading and installing the browser plugin: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
We provide adequate safeguards for your personal data by means of standard data protection clauses approved by the European Commission. More about the security of your data in connection with Google Analytics: support.google.com/analytics. The Google Analytics service is covered by the ISO 27001 information security management certificate: support.google.com/analytics/iso27001.
At any time, you have the right to obtain a copy of your personal data transferred to a third country, a copy of the contractual clauses, a summary of the security measures and a copy of any sub-processing service contract.
Legal basis for the processing: Article 6 of the GDPR – our legitimate interest in statistical analysis of user behaviour for optimisation and marketing purposes. Balance test available upon request. You have the right to object.
8. With whom do we share your data collected by cookies and do we transfer it outside the EEA?
A. When you load our Website:
- Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) – concerning Google Analytics tools. Google LLC processes this data as our processor on the basis of an entrustment agreement. The processing involves the transfer of your personal data outside the European Economic Area.

B. When you click on the social media icons:
Information about you will be forwarded to the relevant social network operator and vice versa. The data will be transferred regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and whether you are logged in. If you are logged in with the respective plug-in provider, the collected data will be directly assigned to your existing user account. When you click on an activated button (e.g. share a page), the plug-in provider stores this information in your account and makes it publicly available to your friends. We recommend that you log out regularly after using the social network, especially before activating the button, to avoid the plug-in provider assigning your profile.
We have placed icons for the following social media on this page:
- Facebook – the provider is Facebook Inc. Facebook processes your data for its own, unknown purposes – as a separate data controller. The processing will transfer your personal data outside the EEA in accordance with the privacy policy of this provider: facebook.com/legal/FB_Work_Privacy.
- LinkedIn – the provider is LinkedIn Inc. LinkedIn processes your data for its own purposes – as a separate data controller. The processing will transfer your personal data outside the EEA in accordance with this provider’s privacy policy: linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
