The IP address of your computer, which is transmitted for technical reasons, is automatically rendered anonymous so that your identity cannot be determined.

Google Ads
If you consent to the use of tracking cookies, this website uses Google Ads on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. We use Google Ads Conversion to promote our attractive offers on external websites by means of advertising materials (so-called Google Ads). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the advertising campaigns by analyzing the data processed by Google Ads. The purpose is to show you advertisements that are of interest to you, to make our website more interesting to you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.
These advertising materials are delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers". In this process, we use ad server cookies, which measure certain performance metrics such as ads or user clicks. If you access our website through a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and should not be used to personally identify you. This cookie typically stores values for analysis such as your unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant to post-view conversions) as well as information about your objection to the use of the cookies, i.e. if you choose to object to these cookies.
These cookies allow Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages on the website of an Ads customer and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this webpage. Each Ads customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We receive only statistical evaluations provided by Google. On the basis of these evaluations, we can identify which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any other data from the use of the advertising material, in particular we cannot identify the users on the basis of this information.
By integrating Ads Conversion into our website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or have clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a service provided by Google, Google may associate the visit on your website with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in to a Google service, there is a chance that the provider will find and save your IP address.
In case you consented to the use of advertising cookies, but wish to withdraw your consent at a later point in time, you can do so by changing your Cookie Settings on this page. You may also deactivate Google's personalized advertising in your advertising browser settings. These settings are saved in your Google Account (if you're logged in) or in the browser (if you're not logged in).
Alternatively, you can install a browser plug-in to disable personalised advertising. You can find it here: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996.

Explanation
Hotjar cookie that is set once a visitor interacts with an External Link Survey invitation modal. It is used to ensure that the same invite does not reappear if it has already been shown.
Hotjar cookie that is set once a visitor completes a survey using the On-site Survey widget. It is used to ensure that the same survey does not reappear if it has already been filled in.
Hotjar cookie that is set once a visitor minimizes an On-site Survey widget. It is used to ensure that the widget stays minimized when the visitor navigates through your site.
Hotjar cookie that is set when a visitor minimizes or completes Incoming Feedback. This is done so that the Incoming Feedback will load as minimized immediately if the visitor navigates to another page where it is set to show.
Hotjar cookie that is set when the customer first lands on a page with the Hotjar script. It is used to persist the Hotjar User ID, unique to that site on the browser. This ensures that behavior in subsequent visits to the same site will be attributed to the same user ID.
This should be found in Session storage (as opposed to cookies). This gets updated when a visitor recording starts and when data is sent through the WebSocket (the visitor performs an action that Hotjar records).
When the Hotjar script executes we try to determine the most generic cookie path we should use, instead of the page hostname. This is done so that cookies can be shared across subdomains (where applicable). To determine this, we try to store the _hjTLDTest cookie for different URL substring alternatives until it fails. After this check, the cookie is removed.
User Attributes sent through the Hotjar Identify API are cached for the duration of the session in order to know when an attribute has changed and needs to be updated.
This cookie stores User Attributes which are sent through the Hotjar Identify API, whenever the user is not in the sample. These attributes will only be saved if the user interacts with a Hotjar Feedback tool.
This cookie is used to check if the Hotjar Tracking Script can use local storage. If it can, a value of 1 is set in this cookie. The data stored in_hjLocalStorageTest has no expiration time, but it is deleted almost immediately after it is created.
This cookie is set to let Hotjar know whether that visitor is included in the data sampling defined by your site's pageview limit.
This cookie is set to let Hotjar know whether that visitor is included in the data sampling defined by your site's daily session limit.
This cookie is used to detect the first pageview session of a user. This is a True/False flag set by the cookie.

After Optimizely has executed a redirect experiment, stores various data from the original page so that Optimizely still has access to it on the new page.
Stores a visitor's unique Optimizely identifier. It's a combination of a timestamp and random number. No other information about you or your visitors is stored inside.
When Optimizely loads a URL, the snippet places the cookie to get the current domain, for the purpose of whether cross-domain syncing is possible. If successful, the cookie is immediately removed.
Stores a boolean indicating whether the visitor has opted out of participating in Optimizely-powered experimentation. A visitor can opt out by using the opt-out tool here. An Optimizely customer may also set this cookie's value via the snippet's "optOut" API call.
Enables "sticky sessions", which is a requirement of our RUM service. For more information, see AWS load balancer documentation. Its value is random data
Controls the AWSELB cookie's attributes (e.g., SameSite and Secure). For more information, see AWS documentation on application-controlled session stickiness. Its value is always "1".

Pinterest Tag
We also use the Pinterest tag of Pinterest Europe Ltd., Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland on this website. This is a piece of JavaScript code we use to collect conversion insights and build audiences based on visitors’ activities on our website. This means that we use the Pinterest tag to gauge and improve the effectiveness of ads on Pinterest, and to personalize ads by determining which type of ads to display to users. As part of the conversion tracking, we process the following data from you: which pages you visited such as product, item and category pages, which queries you posted on our website, what products and services on our website as well as from third-party services like Pinterest you are interested in, which items you added to your shopping cart, which transactions you completed, which videos you viewed, and for which products or services you have registered (e. g. registration for newsletter subscription, webshop account).
If you have consented to the processing of your personal data by using the Pinterest Tag and you wish to withdraw your consent, it is possible to change your cookie settings on this page (scroll up to the top of the page). You also have the option to change your browser settings. How you can do this is explained further below in this Cookie Policy (see “How to disable cookies”).
Alternatively, if you have consented, you may disable the Pinterest Marketing Tag as a logged-in Pinterest user in your account settings at https://help.pinterest.com/en/article/personalized-ads-on-pinterest. For information on how to opt-out of interest-based online advertising on and via Pinterest at a later date without logging in, visit http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN.
