Our Internet pages use cookies. These are small text files which are stored on your end device. They simplify and accelerate the control of your visit to our Internet pages, increase their user-friendliness and enable an analysis of their use, in particular for the purpose of optimising our Internet offering.

On the one hand, we use so-called "session cookies", which are temporarily stored for the duration of your use of the Internet pages. They store a session ID with which various requests from your browser can be allocated to the joint session - so that your browser can be recognised when you return to a website. These session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.

On the other hand, we use "permanent cookies". These serve the purpose of user-friendliness, in which, for example, certain default settings, which are directly available to you on your next visit to our Internet pages, are stored. The content of the permanent cookies is limited to an identification number. Name, IP address etc. are not stored, so that no individual profile of your usage behaviour is created.

You can prevent, control and/or delete the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in the browser software you are using. The use of our Internet pages remains possible even then, although there may be functional restrictions in individual cases.

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form including the contact data you provided there will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. These data will not be passed on without your consent.

Please refer to the data protection information of the respective providers for information on the handling of your data when using the aforementioned services.

Data processing and security measures are continuously improved by esterion in line with technological developments.

You have the right at any time to receive free information about your data stored by us.
