You can easily block and delete cookies at any time via your internet browser. You can also set your internet browser to notify you when a cookie is placed. You can also indicate that certain cookies may not be placed. For this possibility, see the help function of your browser. If you delete cookies in your browser, it can affect the pleasant use of this website. Some tracking cookies are placed by third parties who, among other things, display advertisements to you via our website. These cookies can be centrally removed via www.youronlinechoices.com. Be aware that if you do not want cookies, we cannot guarantee that our website will work perfectly. Some functions of the site may be lost or you may not be able to visit the website at all.
