Cookie Policy
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Similar technologies work in comparable ways: local storage in your browser, pixels and tags that load when a page or email is opened, and scripts that read information from your device. In this policy, "cookies" covers all of them.
Some cookies are set by us (first-party cookies). Others are set by other companies whose services we use (third-party cookies).
When we ask for your consent
We only store information on your device or read it from there with your consent, unless this is strictly necessary to provide the website or a service you have asked for. This follows § 25 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG). Our own statistics tool, Matomo, runs in a configuration that sets no cookies and reads nothing from your device, so it needs no consent; you can still opt out with the Matomo form under "Changing your choice" below, or with your browser's Do Not Track signal.
Where personal data is processed, our privacy policy applies as well.
Categories
This website stores very little on your device, and nothing that needs a choice in a banner.
- Necessary – needed for the website to work and to keep it secure: the language setting and protection against attacks. These do not need your consent.
- Videos – our own films, delivered by Vimeo. A video is loaded only when you click it; the click is your consent and applies to that video.
We use no advertising services on this website.

Where a third-party provider processes data outside the EU, the privacy policy shows the location and the safeguard used.
