Third-party cookies

This website does not set any so-called "third-party" cookies and does not share any user information with third parties.

Please note that external websites linked to from this site may have different privacy and cookie policies. We have no control over these sites and therefore accept no responsibility for their cookies and privacy policies.

Nevertheless, sources that maintain user-friendly data protection policies (e.g. Wikipedia) were preferred for linked sites wherever possible. Unfortunately, it was not always possible to link only to such sources. For example, there is no data protection-friendly alternative to YouTube. It is generally recommended that such sites are only visited with appropriate data protection-friendly browser settings.
