Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 January 2025
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly and more efficiently, and to provide information to the site operators.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose content is embedded in the page ("third-party cookies"). Cookies can be "session cookies" which expire when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies" which remain on your device for a defined period.
2. How We Use Cookies
This website uses only technically necessary cookies. We do not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, social media tracking cookies, or any other form of non-essential cookie. We are committed to minimising the use of tracking technologies in accordance with the German Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG) and the EU ePrivacy Directive.
3. Cookies We Use
The following table describes the cookies currently in use on this website:
| Cookie Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie-consent | Essential (localStorage) | Records your cookie consent preference to avoid showing the consent notice on every page visit | Persistent (until cleared) |
Please note that the consent preference is stored in your browser's localStorage rather than as a traditional HTTP cookie. This achieves the same functional purpose without setting a cookie in the conventional sense.
4. Third-Party Content
This website loads a web font from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com) and icon assets from unpkg.com. These external resources may be subject to the privacy policies of their respective providers. Where technically feasible, we have configured these resources to minimise data transmission to third parties.
Images on this website are served from Unsplash (images.unsplash.com). Requests to load these images will be subject to Unsplash's privacy policy and may involve the transmission of your IP address to Unsplash's servers.
5. Managing and Deleting Cookies

- Mozilla Firefox: Settings › Privacy & Security › Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences › Privacy › Manage Website Data
