Cookie legislation

Thank you for your visit. Through this web page we inform you about the use of so-called cookies on this website in the context of the new legislation in force since June 2012.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a file placed by a website on the site visitor's computer for the following possible purposes:

- Functional: to facilitate the use of the website, for example, to recognize the visitor on repeat visits, speed up login, and speed up form completion.
- Analytical: to collect visitor statistics and to be able to use them in particular for further improvement and renewal of the website.
- Commercial: to track the click behavior of the individual visitor and do commercial actions based on this information, for example, offering specific information in response to specific click behavior.

There are many types of cookies, but the new legislation distinguishes between functional and non-functional cookies. Functional cookies are not subject to regulation. The non-functional cookies are, including, therefore, the analytical and commercial ones. The latter include the cookies set by, for example, Google Analytics and many social sharing buttons of social media networks.
