The data is stored to ensure a smooth connection setup, correct display and proper operation of the website. The data is also used to ensure convenient use and optimization of the website and to ensure the security and stability of our information technology systems. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The collection of data is absolutely necessary for the provision and operation of the website. There is therefore no possibility for you to object. The data is deleted when it is no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes. Depending on the hosting provider, this usually happens within 7 days and at the latest within 30 days.
We use cookies, local storage objects, and similar technologies (collectively: "cookies") to make our website more user-friendly and enable certain functions. Cookies are text files stored by your internet browser on your end device when you access a website. These cookies contain a unique string of characters that allows your browser to be identified when you visit the website again. Cookies allow the website to adapt its content to your interests more quickly. Cookies usually contain the name of the domain from which the cookie originates, the cookie's expiration date, and a randomly generated number. Cookies alone do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity.
Some cookies are necessary for the operation of our website and may be set without your consent ("necessary cookies"). If necessary cookies also process personal data, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, either to initiate or execute a contract with you, or in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in ensuring the website's optimal functionality and an effective, customer-friendly design.
Beyond necessary cookies, our website site uses "non-necessary cookies" for statistical analysis, marketing purposes, and to integrate external media only if you actively consent to this use. If these cookies process personal data, the legal basis for doing so is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, based on your consent. For further information, see section 4 below.
The first time you visit our website, a banner will appear to inform you about the name, type, provider, purpose, and expiration date of the cookies used, as well as the type and scope of any personal data processed. On the banner, you can accept or reject the use of non-necessary cookies. You can access the banner at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link on the website. There, you can also revoke your consent to the use of non-essential cookies.
We use the Cookiebot service, provided by Usercentrics A/S (Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark), for the cookie banner. Cookiebot processes your data as specified in Section 2. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in providing an efficient, legally compliant solution for managing your consent to, and rejection of, non-essential cookies, as well as providing all necessary information about the cookies we set.
Please note that you can set your browser to notify you about the use of cookies, allowing you to decide whether to accept or reject them.
If you have consented to the use of non-necessary cookies, we will integrate one or more of the following services on our website. If personal data is processed when using these services, the legal basis for doing so is Art. 6. para. 1 lit. a GDPR due to your consent to the setting of the respective non-necessary cookie (see section 3 above). The lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent remains unaffected until its revocation. More information about the services we use is available by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link on the website.
