1. What are Cookies?

“Cookies” are small text files that your browser stores on your computer or mobile phone. Different information can be stored within the Cookies. A Cookie is primarily used to store information about a user (or the device on which the Cookie is stored) during or after his or her visit to a website. Temporary Cookies, or “Session Cookies”, or “Transient Cookies”, are Cookies that are deleted after a user leaves a website and closes his or her browser. For example, the contents of a shopping basket in an online shop or a shopping cart can be stored in such a Cookie. Cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed are referred to as “permanent” or “persistent”. For example, the login status can be saved if users visit the website after several days. Likewise, the interests of users, can be stored in such a Cookie and be used for user measurement or marketing purposes. Third-Party Cookies are Cookies that are offered by providers other than the party responsible for operating the website (otherwise, if they are only the operator’s Cookies, they are referred to as “First-Party Cookies”).

2. Why do we use Cookies?

We use Cookies to provide you with a technically optimised Website that is user-friendly and tailored to your needs, and to ensure the security of our systems. Cookies are used, for example, to analyse behaviour on our Website, or to show personalised offers or keep registered users logged in for the duration of their visit. Cookies allow the Website to “remember” you, either for the duration of your current visit (Session Cookie) or for multiple visits (Permanent Cookie). They are therefore primarily intended to enable more efficient use of our Website and to activate certain functions on the Website.

3. What is the legal basis for the use of Cookies?

If Cookies are necessary for the proper operation of the Website, we may use them even without your consent. In this case, the Cookie-based data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR to protect our legitimate interests. In particular, our legitimate interests lie in being able to provide the Website in a technically optimised, user-friendly and needs-based manner, to provide certain functions and to ensure the security of our systems.

For all non-necessary Cookies, the Cookie-based data processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. The Cookie types for which your consent is required are as follows:

Preference Cookies, which allow the Website to remember information that affects the way the Website behaves or looks, such as your preferred language or the region you are in.
Statistics Cookies, which help us to understand how you interact with this Website and, where applicable, other websites, by collecting and reporting information anonymously.
Marketing/advertising Cookies, which are used to follow visitors on websites. The intention is to show ads that are relevant and engaging to the individual user and therefore more valuable to publishers and advertising third parties.
Cookies from third-party providers (Third-Party Cookies), which enable the use of certain functions offered by the third-party provider (for example, playing videos).

4. How can you control the use of Cookies?

You can give us your consent when you call up our Website by pressing the corresponding button in the “Cookie Banner”.

You can also set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of Cookies and only allow Cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of Cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of Cookies when closing the browser. You can regularly obtain the procedure for deactivating Cookies via the “Help” function of your browser. You can also delete the Cookies that are already stored on your end device at any time. You can also find helpful information on this on www.allaboutcookies.org.

If you choose not to accept any Cookies, you can of course still visit our Website. However, you may not be able to use all the functions and services of our Website or certain content that we offer may not be available.

A general objection to the use of Cookies for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website www.youronlinechoices.com/.

If you choose not to give your consent for the use of Cookies and therefore only allow necessary Cookies, we will ask you to give your consent again each time you visit the Website. This is because if you refuse certain Cookies, we will not be able to identify you when you visit the Website again and therefore your choice to give us your consent to use Cookies or not cannot be saved.
