Use of cookies
This website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and function of which are explained below:
Strictly necessary cookies (category 1)
These cookies are absolutely necessary so that our webpages and their functions work properly. Without these cookies, certain services cannot be provided.
Statistical cookies (category 2)
These cookies enable the improvement of the convenience and performance of webpages and the provision of various functions. For example, language settings or other selections made can be stored in function cookies.
The categories of cookies described above are placed either temporarily or persistently.
Transient cookies are deleted automatically when you close the browser. These especially include session cookies. These store a so-called session ID with which various enquiries by your browser can be assigned to the same session. This allows your device to be recognised if you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.
Persistent cookies are deleted automatically after a prescribed time period, which can vary depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.
You can configure your browser setting according to your wishes and e.g. reject the acceptance of third-party cookies or all cookies.
Detailed information about cookies is available on the external English-language website: www.aboutcookies.org.

Persistent (max. 12 months), category 1
This cookie is used to save your cookie settings for this website.
SgCookieOptin.lastPreferences

Web analysis by Matomo
On our website, we use the Open Source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users (the legal basis is Article 6 Par. 1 lit. a GDPR). The software places a cookie on the device of the user (for cookies see above). If individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data is stored:
- two bytes of the IP address of the accessing system of the user,
- the browser type and browser version you use,
- the operating system you use,
- Manufacturer and type of device,
- your country of origin,
- date and time of the server enquiry,
- the number of visits,
- your time spent on the website,
- the external links you activated.
The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. Storage of personal data of users only takes place there. There is no passing on of data to third parties.
The software is set so that IP addresses are not stored in full, instead 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). Consequently, an attribution of the shortened IP address to the accessing device is no longer possible.
The processing of the personal data of users allows us to carry out an analysis of the surfing behaviour of our users. Based on the evaluation of the gathered data, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to consistently improve our website and its user-friendliness. Our justified interest in the processing of data according to Article 6 Par. 1 lit. a DS-GVO also lies in these purposes. Through the anonymisation of the IP address, the interest of the user in their protection of personal data is sufficiently ensured.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for our recording purposes. This is the case at the latest after 182 days.
You can decide here whether a clearly indicated web analysis cookie may be deposited on your browser to enable the operator of the website to gather and analyse a variety of statistical data.
If you delete your cookies, the opt-in cookie will also be deleted and must therefore be reactivated.
You can also change your cookie settings at any time using the fingerprint icon at the bottom left of every page or click here.
