You can set up your brows­er in such a way that you are informed when cook­ies are being placed. This will make the use of cook­ies more trans­par­ent for you.

The web­fonts are trans­ferred when the page is called up into the cache of the brows­er in order to be able to use it for the pre­sen­ta­tion. If the brows­er does not sup­port Google Web fonts or pro­hibits access, the text will be dis­played in a stan­dard font. When the page is accessed, no cook­ies are set for the web­site vis­i­tor.

In order to pro­tect your data against unau­tho­rized access, we imple­ment an encryp­tion process on most sites. The details trans­mit­ted from your device to our ser­vice, and vice ver­sa, are secured using a 256 Bit SSL-encryp­tion (Secure Sock­et Lay­er). This is demon­strat­ed by the sym­bol of the lock on the sta­tus strip of your brows­er, and as the address line begins with https://.
