Some of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of our website. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour.
Analytical tools and third-party tools
When you visit our website, your browsing behaviour may be statistically analysed. This is mainly done using cookies and analytical programs. Your browsing behaviour will generally be analysed anonymously, which means that it cannot be traced back to you. You may object to this analysis by rejecting the use of cookies.
SSL and TLS encryption
For security reasons and to safeguard the transmission of confidential information which you send to us as the website operator (for example orders or inquiries), this website uses SSL and TLS encryption. You can tell that a connection is encrypted if “http://” changes to “https://” in your browser’s address box. A padlock icon should also appear in your browser bar.
When SSL and TLS encryption is activated, third parties are not able to read data which you send to us.
Cookies
This website uses cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and they do not contain viruses. We use cookies to help us make our website more user-friendly, efficient and secure. Cookies are small text files that are downloaded onto your computer and stored by your browser.

It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of our newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses help us to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of our recipients.
