You can identify an encrypted connection because the address line of your browser will change from “http://” to “https://” and you will see a lock symbol in your browser line.

You can adjust your browser settings so that you are informed when cookies are saved, or to permit cookies to be accepted only in certain cases or generally exclude cookies, as well as to automatically delete cookies when you close your browser. The functionality of this website may be restricted if you deactivate cookies.
Cookies used to carry out electronic communication or to provide certain functions you request (such as the shopping cart function) are saved in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies in order to provide its services optimally and in a manner free from technical errors.

The analysis starts automatically once the website visitor enters the website. reCAPTCHA analyses a variety of information in the course of doing so (such as the user's IP address, dwell time on the website, or the mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during this analysis is sent to Google.
reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is being carried out.
