You can refuse the installation of Cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser software. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will no longer be able to use all the functions of our Website.

In principle, no personal data is stored in the Cookies we use as they cannot be linked to a specific person. When a Cookie is activated, an identification number is assigned to the respective Cookie. It is not possible to link your personal data to this identification number. At no time do we store your name, IP address, or any other similar data in such a way that it is possible to establish a connection between the Cookies and you.

Google uses contractual clauses for data transfers outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to countries not covered by an adequacy decision, such as the USA. If you do not want Google Analytics™ to record data about your visits, you can install a browser add-on that allows Google Analytics™ to be disabled.
