b) Use of Services:

(4)  If you choose to use services we offer on our website, for example by subscribing to a newsletter, you will be required to provide additional data.

4. Use of Cookies

(1) We use cookie technology on our website. Cookies are text files that are transferred to your browser from a web server during your visit to a website, and that are stored on your computer for later retrieval.

(2) We only use so-called session cookies and temporary cookies, i.e. cookies that only cache for the duration of your use of our website. The purpose of these cookies is to allow the web server to continue to identify your computer when you move from one of our webpages to another one of our webpages during your visit to our website, as well as to determine the end of your visit.

(3) The cookies are deleted when you end your browser session.

(4) Whether cookies can be stored and retrieved is determined by the settings in your browser. Through your browser settings, you can disable the storing of cookies altogether, restrict it to certain websites, or configure your browser so that it will automatically notify you when a cookie is to be stored and ask you for confirmation before doing so. However, for technical reasons, disallowing session cookies altogether will prevent the functioning of some features of our website.

(5) We do not collect or store personal data in cookies in this context. We do not connect or combine information obtained through cookies with user data by any means.
