2. Cookies are also stored on your computer when you use our website, in addition to the above data. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard disk for the browser you are using and that provide the website that creates the cookie (in this case, us) with certain information. Cookies cannot run programs or infect your computer with viruses. They are used to make our website generally more user-friendly and effective.
3. Use of cookies:
   1. This website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and functionality of which are explained below:
      · Transient cookies (see b)
      · Persistent cookies (see c).
   2. Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include session cookies in particular. Session cookies store a session ID, which is associated with the various requests made by your browser in the same session. This means that we can recognise your computer when you return to the website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or when you close your browser.
   3. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which may differ depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies at any time via your browser’s security settings.
   4. You can configure your browser settings to suit your preferences, e.g. to reject third-party cookies or all cookies. Please note that you may not be able to use all the features of this website if you disable cookies.
   5. We also use cookies to identify you when you come back to the website, if you have an account with us. Otherwise, you have to log in again at each visit.
   6. The Flash cookies used on our website are saved by your Flash plug-in, not your browser. We also use HTML5 storage objects, which are saved on your device. These objects store the required data independently of your browser and do not have an automatic expiry date. If you do not want Flash cookies to be processed, you must install an appropriate add-on, e.g. “Better Privacy” for Mozilla Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-badger17/) or the Adobe Flash killer cookie for Google Chrome. You can prevent HTML5 storage objects being used by using your browser’s privacy mode. We also recommend that you regularly delete your cookies and your browser history manually.

This is the case in particular if processing is not necessary to perform a contract with you, which is indicated by us in each case in the following description of the features. When exercising your right to object, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. If your objection is justified, we will review the situation and either stop or modify data processing or explain to you our compelling legitimate grounds, on the basis of which we are continuing to process your data.
