Encryption ensures that data transmitted to us cannot easily be read by third parties.

7. Cookies, Similar Technologies and Consent Management

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Comparable technologies such as local storage, scripts, pixels or external content may also be used.

We distinguish between technically necessary services and services requiring consent.
