6.1. Cookies are small files that store data about users or their online usage on users’ devices (e.g., desktop or mobile computers) for later retrieval. Cookies can be supplemented with additional data in the future or read out. The data stored in cookies can be processed by us or by third-party providers. Users are informed about the use of cookies within our online offering in this privacy policy.

If users do not wish cookies to be stored on their device, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in their browser’s system settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser’s system settings.

7. Integration of third-party services and content
7.1. It may occur that content or services from third-party providers, such as videos from YouTube, maps, or graphics from other websites, are integrated within our online offering. The integration of third-party content always requires that the third-party providers perceive the user’s IP address, as without the IP address they cannot send the content to the user’s browser. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. Furthermore, the providers of such content may set their own cookies and process user data for their own purposes. In doing so, user profiles may be created from the processed data. We use such content as sparingly and in a data-avoidant manner as possible and select reliable third-party providers with regard to data security.
