About cookies
Cookies are small text files that can be placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit websites and store certain information. You can find more information about the different types of cookies below. You can find a complete list of cookies used on this website under"List of cookies used on this website".
Temporary cookies / Persistent cookies
"Temporary cookies" or "session cookies" are cookies that are temporarily stored on your computer or mobile device during the browsing session and are deleted as soon as you close the browser. "Persistent cookies" remain on your computer or mobile device after you close your browser and are used to recognise you when you revisit the website. A persistent cookie is deleted after a well-defined expiry date has passed.
First-party cookies / Third-party cookies
"First-party cookies" are cookies set directly by the website operator, which can only be read by the website. "Third-party cookies" are cookies placed on the website by third parties and/or used to transmit certain information about your visit to that third party. This happens, for example, because the website contains elements from other websites, such as images, social media plug-ins or advertising. If the browser or other software fetches these elements from other websites, the cookies set by those other websites are considered third-party cookies.
Essential cookies / Functional cookies
"Necessary" or "technically essential cookies" are cookies that are necessary for the website to work correctly (e.g. ensuring an even load on the website so that it remains functional and accessible). "Functional cookies" are cookies that are necessary to improve your browsing experience or to provide a functionality explicitly requested by you (e.g. remembering your login or tracking selected items, but also e.g. video playback). Necessary cookies and functional cookies may be set without your consent.
Analytical cookies / Marketing and social media cookies
"Analytical cookies" are cookies that collect information about how you use the website in order to improve search engine hits and the functioning of the website (e.g. by finding out whether and how you use the functionalities of our website in order to improve our website). "Marketing cookies" are cookies that collect information about your browsing, search and purchasing behaviour in order to provide you with personalised advertising based on your personal interests (e.g. on social media platforms). Furthermore, some cookies make it possible to share website content on social media platforms (e.g. via the "Facebook thumb"). Analytical cookies and marketing cookies are only set if you have given your consent. These social media platforms may also use the information they collect via these cookies for their own purposes. You can always find more information about this in the privacy statements of the respective social media platforms.

CRAFT_CSRF_TOKEN |
This cookie protects the website and its visitors from so-called cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. These are attacks from a rogue website that trick a visitor into performing, usually in an authenticated environment, a different request/action on the website than intended by the visitor. Such attack occurs by luring the visitor to the rogue website (for example, by clicking on a link or advertisement). This visit initiates an automatic request/action on behalf of the visitor to the website. By marking a visitor's requests/actions on the website with a unique authenticator, the website can validate that a request actually comes from the visitor and not from a rogue third party. This cookie is necessary for the safe and correct operation of the website. |
