We use cookies on our website. These cookies are needed to allow you to move freely around the website and use its features; this includes access to member areas of the website. Through cookies, we can track who has visited the site and thus determine how often certain pages are visited and which parts of the website are particularly popular. Session cookies store information about your activities on our website.
This website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and functions of which are explained below:
- Transient cookies (temporary use)

Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include, in particular, session cookies. These save what is known as a session ID, which allows different queries from your browser to be assigned to the same session. This allows your computer to be recognised when you return to the website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.
Persistent cookies are deleted automatically after a defined duration, depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies in your browser’s security settings at any time.
You can configure your browser settings according to your preferences and accept third-party cookies, for instance, or reject any and all cookies. Please note that you may potentially be unable to use all the features of this website.
