You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to accept cookies in certain cases, or to generally exclude them, as well as to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.
