Cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that can be stored and read on your device. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are saved even after you have ended your session. Cookies can contain data that helps us to recognise the device being used, although in some cases they can also contain information only about specific settings and that cannot be traced back to a specific user. We use session cookies and permanent cookies on our website. They are processed in accordance with article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, letter f of the GDPR and in the interest of optimising/enabling user guidance/navigation and adapting the presentation of our website. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the placement of cookies and the use of cookies is completely transparent for you. You can also delete cookies at any time using the appropriate browser setting and prevent the placement of further cookies. If you do this, however, it is possible that our website is not displayed optimally and that certain functions are no longer available for technical reasons.
Encryption
We use an advanced encryption method to protect your data against unauthorized access. Your details are transferred from your computer to the server (and back again) via the Internet by means of 256-bit TLS encryption (Transport Layer Security Version 1.2). You can recognize this by the fact that the lock symbol on your browser’s status bar is closed and the address begins with https://.

Your data will be passed on to third parties only insofar as this is necessary for processing your enquiry.

We possess a legitimate interest in maintaining contact with the users of our website and, whenever necessary, responding to enquiries or sending information.
