Information on the use of cookies

Scope of the processing of personal data

We integrate and use cookies on various pages to enable certain functions of our website and to integrate external web services. Cookies are small text files that your browser can store on your access device. These text files contain a characteristic string of characters that uniquely identifies the browser when you return to our website. The process of saving a cookie file is also referred to as "setting a cookie". Cookies can be set both by the website itself and by external web services.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Relevant are Art. 6 ff. FADP (principles) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR (consent).

In general, in the case of cookies that are collected on the basis of a legitimate interest, our legitimate interest is to ensure the functionality of our website and the services integrated on it (technically necessary cookies). In addition, the cookies may increase their user-friendliness and enable a more personalised approach. Here we have weighed up your interests and our interests.

With the help of cookie technology, we can only identify, analyse and track individual website visitors if the website visitor has consented to the use of cookies in accordance with Art. 6 para. 6 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Purpose of the data processing

The cookies are set by our website or the external web services in order to maintain the full functionality of our website, to improve user-friendliness or to pursue the purpose stated with your consent.

Details are listed in the table below.

Possibility of objection, revocation of consent and deletion

You can set your browser according to your wishes so that the setting of cookies is generally prevented. You can then decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept cookies or accept cookies in principle. Cookies can be used for various purposes, e.g. to recognise that your access device is already connected to our website (permanent cookies) or to save recently viewed offers (session cookies). If you have expressly given us permission to process your personal data, you can revoke this consent at any time. Please note that this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent until you withdraw it.

Data security and data protection, communication by e-mail

Your personal data is protected by technical and organisational measures during collection, storage and processing in such a way that it is not accessible to third parties. In the case of unencrypted communication by e-mail, we cannot guarantee complete data security on the transmission path to our IT systems, so we recommend encrypted communication or the postal service for information requiring a high level of confidentiality.

Duration of data storage and rights of the data subject

Duration of storage

We only store personal data to the extent and for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which the personal data was collected, we have a legitimate overriding interest in storing it or are legally obliged to do so.

You have the right to request confirmation as to whether we are processing your personal data. If this is the case, you have a right to information about the data specified in 25 ff. FADP or Art. 15 para. 1 GDPR, provided that the information cannot be refused, restricted or postponed by the data controller (cf. Art. 26 f. FADP or Art. 15 para. 4 GDPR).

In accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you that has been collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (in the context of a legitimate interest). If you have given us your express consent to process your personal data (Art. 6 para. 6 GDPR and Art. 31 para. 1 GDPR), you can withdraw this consent at any time.
