Cookies cannot cause any damage to the end devices used and in particular, do not contain viruses or other malware.
4.2. Through your browser settings, you can prevent cookies from being set or be automatically informed before a cookie is set so that you can refuse this in individual cases. However, in this case it may be that parts of our services do not function or do not function optimally. Cookies are used to optimise the use of our website, so that, for example, session cookies can be used to track whether you have already visited individual sub-pages of the website. These are only stored on your terminal device for a temporary period in order to improve the user-friendliness of the website. If you visit our website again, it will automatically be recognised that you have visited it before and which language settings and entries you have made. This means that repeated entries can be avoided.
4.3. Our website uses different types of cookies. On the one hand, technical cookies are required to display the website, and on the other hand, we use cookies for statistical and marketing purposes.

For this purpose, user profiles can be created and stored in a file (so-called cookie) or similar procedures can be used for the same purpose.
5.2. For this purpose, information such as website content viewed, websites accessed, browser and operating system used as well as activity and usage times may be stored.
