Our website uses cookies. These have two functions:

Firstly, they are necessary for the basic functionality of our website.

On the other hand, we can use the cookies to constantly improve our content for you. For this purpose, only anonymised data is collected and evaluated from you. These are, for example, your country, your screen resolution, your terminal device or which pages you were particularly interested in.

We store these values on our own server in Germany, which runs an open source software (Matomo), so no data is transferred to third parties such as Google or Microsoft.

Social-Media-Plugins are generally (pre-)deactivated by us to prevent an unwanted traffic.
