This Cookie Policy explains how cookies are used on this website.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are text files placed by a browser on a device to store certain information. The next time the website is accessed using the same device and browser, the information stored in cookies is sent back either to our website ("first-party cookie") or to another website to which the cookie belongs ("third-party cookie").

3.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies support functions without which the website cannot be used as intended. These cookies are used exclusively by the website and are therefore first-party cookies, meaning all information stored in them is sent back to the website only.
Essential cookies are used, for example, to keep a logged-in user signed in across different pages of the website, so they do not have to re-enter their login details every time they navigate to a new page.
The use of essential cookies on our website is permitted without consent based on our legitimate interest in providing a technically sound website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). For this reason, strictly necessary cookies cannot be enabled or disabled individually. However, it is always possible to disable cookies via the browser settings (see Section 4). We process essential cookies for the duration listed below.
