Cookies

The term “cookies” refers to functions that store and read information from users’ end devices. 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. We use cookies in accordance with legal regulations. If necessary, we obtain the users’ consent in advance. If consent is not necessary, we rely on our legitimate interests. This applies if storing and reading information is essential in order to be able to provide explicitly requested content and functions. This includes, for example, storing settings and ensuring the functionality and security of our online offering. Consent can be revoked at any time. We provide clear information about their scope and which cookies are used.

Notes on data protection legal bases: Whether we process personal data using cookies depends on consent. If consent is given, it serves as the legal basis. Without consent, we rely on our legitimate interests, which are explained above in this section and in the context of the relevant services and procedures.

Storage period: With regard to the storage period, a distinction is made between the following types of cookies:
- 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).
- Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the device is closed. For example, the log-in status can be saved and preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. The 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), they should assume that they 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 declare an objection to the processing in accordance with the legal requirements, including using the privacy settings of their browser.

Further information on processing processes, procedures and services:
- Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a consent management solution in which users' consent to the use of cookies or to the procedures and providers mentioned as part of the consent management solution is obtained. This procedure is used to obtain, record, manage and revoke consent, particularly with regard to the use of cookies and similar technologies that are used to store, read and process information on users' end devices. As part of this procedure, users' consents are obtained for the use of cookies and the related processing of information, including the specific processing and providers mentioned in the consent management procedure. Users also have the option to manage and revoke their consent. The declarations of consent are stored in order to avoid repeated queries and to be able to provide proof of consent in accordance with legal requirements. The storage takes 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 specific user or their device. If there is no specific information about the providers of consent management services, the following general information applies: The duration of the storage of consent is up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created, which is stored together with the time of consent, information on the scope of consent (e.g. relevant categories of cookies and/or service providers) and information about the browser, the system and the device used; Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) GDPR).
