You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls, often found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu. For more information on how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser’s help file or through such sites as www.allaboutcookies.org.

Use the remarketing or "similar audiences" feature of Google Inc.
The provider uses the remarketing or "similar audiences" feature of Google Inc. ("Google") on the Web site. By using this feature, the advertiser can target the visitors of the website with targeted advertising by showing personalized, content-related advertising ads to visitors to the advertiser's website when they visit other websites on the Google Display Network. Google uses cookies to perform the analysis of the website usage, which is the basis for the creation of the interest-related advertising advertisements. Google stores a small file with a number in the browsers of the visitors of the website. This number is used to record visits to the website and anonymous data on the use of the website. There is no storage of personal data of visitors to the website. Visit another Google Display Network page to see advertising insights that are highly likely to take previously-invoked product and information areas into account.
You can permanently disable the use of cookies by Google by following the link below and downloading and installing the plug-in provided there: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=en
Alternatively, you can disable the use of third-party cookies by calling the network advertising initiative's (Network Advertising Initiative) deactivation page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and redirecting the additional information on the opt-out.

Use Google Adwords Conversion Tracking
We're using Google AdWords online advertising and Google AdWords's conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, "Google"). When you click a Google-served ad, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, contain no personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification.
If you visit certain Internet pages of our website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we recognize that you have clicked on the ad and forwarded to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. There is therefore no way that cookies can be tracked through the AdWords website.
The information obtained through the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers can see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that allows users to be personally identified. If you do not want to participate in the tracking, you can disagree with this usage by preventing the installation of the cookies by means of an appropriate setting of your browser software (deactivation option). They are not included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The IP address provided by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Use of Facebook plugins
These pages use plugins from the social network facebook.com operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). If you call Internet pages with such a plug-in, we connect to the Facebook servers and display the plug-in to your browser on the website. This will send to the Facebook server which of our Internet pages you have visited. If you are logged into Facebook as a member, Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. When using the plug-in features (e.g., clicking the "Like" button, submitting a comment), this information is also mapped to your Facebook account, which can only be prevented by logging out before using the plug-in. If you do not want Facebook to map the collected information directly to your Facebook profile, you must either log out to Facebook before you visit our site, or use Facebook-provided add-on for your browser http://webgraph.com / Resources / facebookblocker /. This will block the loading of the Facebook plugins.
For more information on how Facebook collects, uses, and protects your privacy, see the Facebook privacy policy.
