We use cookies on our website to improve user experience and perform statistical analysis. You can control and disable cookies in your browser settings.
Use of Matomo (Web Analytics)
Our website uses Matomo, an open-source web analytics software operated on our own server. Matomo uses technologies such as cookies or device fingerprinting to analyze user behavior. IP addresses are anonymized before storage.
Matomo helps us understand how our website is used — for example, which pages are visited and from which regions visitors access our site. Technical data such as anonymized IP addresses, referring websites, browsers, operating systems, and user interactions (e.g., clicks) are also collected.
Data processing is carried out to evaluate website usage and continuously improve our online presence. No data is transferred to third parties.
If you do not agree with anonymous data collection by Matomo, you may opt out at any time. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent further tracking.

According to Flipping Book, no personal data of visitors are stored, and no cookies are used. The use of Flipping Book aims to offer a smoother and more convenient browsing experience and is based on our legitimate interest.

YouTube (Enhanced Privacy Mode)
Our website embeds videos from YouTube, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube’s enhanced privacy mode, which means no data about you is stored until you play a video. However, when the player loads, a connection may already be established to YouTube and other Google services (e.g., DoubleClick).
Once you start a video, YouTube receives information about which of our pages you visited. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, your activity may be linked to your profile. You can prevent this by logging out before playing the video.
YouTube may use cookies or similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) when you play a video, for purposes such as usage statistics, improving user experience, and preventing abuse.
The processing of this data is carried out to ensure an appealing and functional design of our website. If you do not wish to consent to this data processing, we recommend not playing any embedded YouTube videos on our site.

Vimeo (Do-Not-Track Mode)
Some pages feature embedded videos from Vimeo, provided by Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, NY 10011, USA.
When you visit a page with a Vimeo video, your IP address is transmitted to Vimeo. We have configured Vimeo so that no tracking cookies are set and user activity is not tracked (Do-Not-Track enabled).
Data processing occurs for the appealing presentation of our content. Data transfers to the USA are based on Standard Contractual Clauses and legitimate business interests.
