COOKIES AND DATA PROTECTION

As the provider of this website, we are obliged to inform users about the use of cookies and to obtain their consent. It is important to comply with European data protection guidelines and to provide transparent information about the type and extent of data processing. In our Cookie Policy we inform our users about the types of cookies we use and for what purposes. We declare that we only use technically necessary cookies to ensure the functionality of the website and to collect statistical data. We do not use cookies for advertising purposes or to create user profiles.

USE OF COOKIES

Cookies are small text files or other storage notes that store information on end devices and read information from the end devices. For example, to save the login status in a user account, the contents of a shopping cart in an e-shop, the content accessed or the functions used of an online offer. Cookies can also be used for various purposes, such as the functionality, security and convenience of online offerings and the creation of analyzes of visitor flows.

 
NOTES ON CONSENT


We use cookies in accordance with legal regulations. We therefore obtain prior consent from users, unless this is not required by law. In particular, consent is not necessary if the storage and reading of the information, including cookies, is absolutely necessary in order to provide users with a telemedia service they have expressly requested (i.e. our online offering). The revocable consent is clearly communicated to the users and contains information on the respective cookie use.

 
INFORMATION ON DATA PROTECTION LEGAL BASES
 
The data protection legal basis on which we process users’ personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask users for consent. If users consent, the legal basis for processing your data is their declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed using cookies will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in the commercial operation of our online offering and improving its usability) or, if this is within the scope of fulfilling our contractual obligations, if the use of cookies is necessary for our purposes to fulfill contractual obligations. We will explain the purposes for which we process cookies in the course of this data protection declaration or as part of our consent and processing processes.
 
STORAGE PERIOD
 
With regard to the storage period, the following types of cookies are distinguished:
 
TEMPORARY COOKIES (ALSO: SESSION OR SESSION COOKIES)
 
Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online offer and closed their device (e.g. browser or mobile application).
 
PERMANENTE COOKIES
 
Permanent cookies remain stored even after the device is closed. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. User data collected using cookies can also be used to measure reach. Unless we provide users with explicit information about the type and storage period of cookies (e.g. when obtaining consent), users should assume that cookies are permanent and that the storage period can be up to two years.
 
GENERAL INFORMATION ON REVOCATION AND OBJECTION (OPT-OUT)
 
Users can revoke the consent they have given at any time and can also object to the processing in accordance with the legal requirements in Article 21 GDPR. Users can also declare their objection via their browser settings, for example by deactivating the use of cookies (which may also limit the functionality of our online services). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be declared via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/.
 
FURTHER INFORMATION ON PROCESSING PROCESSES, PROCEDURES AND SERVICES
 
Processing of cookie data on the basis of consent: We use a cookie consent management process, in which users consent to the use of cookies or the processing mentioned within the cookie consent management process and providers can be obtained and managed and revoked by users. The declaration of consent is saved so that it does not have to be asked again and to be able to prove consent in accordance with the legal obligation.

The storage can take place on the server side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie, or using comparable technologies) in order to be able to assign the consent to a user or their device. Subject to individual information about the providers of cookie management services, the following information applies: The duration of the storage of consent can be up to two years. Here, a pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored with the time of consent, information about the scope of the consent (e.g. which categories of cookies and/or service providers) as well as the browser, system and device used.
