4. How to manage cookies
You can choose to accept or reject non-essential cookies using the cookie banner. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings.
Embedded services (such as Google Maps)
Our website uses external embedded services such as Google Maps. These services may place cookies and will therefore only be loaded after you have provided consent.
If you have not yet enabled these services, you will see a placeholder. You can manually activate the service by clicking on this placeholder. By doing so, you give explicit consent for loading this specific service, even if you have not yet set your overall cookie preferences.
The cookie banner will remain visible until you make a general choice (accept, deny or adjust preferences). Only after selecting your overall cookie preferences will the banner disappear.
