The purpose of using such cookies is to enable you to use the website in a simplified and more user-friendly way. It is therefore necessary for the browser to be able to identify you even after you have changed pages.

The data is not used to create a user profile of you. The legal basis for the use of technical cookies is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. f) DSGVO.

Our website uses Google Maps API (Application Programming Interface) for the visual display of geographical information (maps). Google Maps is operated by Google Ireland Ltd (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter: "Google"). This enables us to make it easier for you to find us or to point out specific locations.

Google is therefore also to be named as the recipient of the data. When Google Maps is used, information about the use of our website, including your IP address, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
