Cookies
Some of our web pages use so-called 'temporary cookies'. These session cookies contain no individual-related data and will be deleted at the end of your session whenever you close your browser window.
Forms
Some of our web pages containing forms are delivered via unencrypted (http) connections. Usually, these web forms will transmit the form data via an encrypted connection (https/SSL). However, some forms will redirect you back to the unencrypted original page if the transmitted data is incomplete. Email receipts of form data might also be sent in unencrypted form. Please note that form data may therefore not in all cases be safeguarded against interception by third parties. In these cases we provide a special notification.
