4. Cookies

Our website uses cookies, which are small data files exchanged between your device and our server. Cookies cannot harm your device, contain viruses, or malware. They store device-specific information only and do not reveal your identity.

Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can adjust your settings to block or notify you of new cookies. Please note that disabling cookies may limit some website functions.

Cookies help us improve your experience, for example by remembering which pages you visited or settings you used. Session cookies are deleted automatically when you leave the site. Temporary cookies allow us to recognize returning visitors and avoid repeating your previous inputs.

With your consent, cookies may also be used to analyze website usage for statistical purposes. All cookies are deleted after a set period.

5. Google Web Fonts

We use Google Web Fonts for consistent and attractive font display. When you visit a page, your browser connects to Google servers to load the fonts. This may reveal your IP address to Google. Use of Google Web Fonts is justified by our legitimate interest in a professional website appearance (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

If your browser does not support Web Fonts, a standard font is used. More information:
