Information about the use of cookies

What personal data is collected and to what extent is it processed

We use cookies on various pages to enable the use of certain functions on our website. Cookies are small text files which your browser can save on your computer. These text files contain a typical character string which permits unique identification of the browser the next time our website is accessed. The process of saving a cookie file is also known as ‘depositing a cookie’. The cookies are deposited by our website or the external web services to maintain the full functionality of our website, to improve the user experience or to pursue the purpose stated with your consent. Cookie technology also allows us to recognise individual visitors by means of pseudonyms, e.g. a unique or random ID, so that we can provide more personalised services. Details are shown in the table below.

Legal basis for personal data processing

Where the cookies are processed on the basis of consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a of the GDPR, this consent is also deemed to be consent within the meaning of Section 25 (1) of the TTDSG for depositing the cookie on the user’s device. Where another legal basis is mentioned in accordance with the GDPR (e.g. for the fulfilment of a contract or for the fulfilment of legal obligations), the cookie is stored or deposited on the basis of an exception according to Section 25 (2) of the TTDSG. This is the case “if the sole purpose of storing information in the end user's terminal equipment or the sole purpose of accessing information already stored in the end user's terminal equipment is to carry out the transmission of a message via a public telecommunications network” or “if the storage of information in the end user's terminal equipment or the access to information already stored in the end user’s terminal equipment is absolutely necessary so that the provider of a telemedia service can provide a telemedia service expressly requested by the user". The relevant legal basis can be seen from the cookie table listed later in this point.

Purpose of data processing

The cookies are deposited by our website to maintain its full functionality and to improve usability. Cookie technology also enables us to recognize individual visitors using pseudonyms, e.g. an individual, arbitrary ID, so we can offer more individual services.

Duration of storage

Our cookies are stored until they are deleted from your browser or, if the cookie is a session cookie, until the session is ended. Details can be found in the following table.

Possibilities for lodging an objection and having the data erased

You can make settings in your browser by yourself in line with your requirements so that no cookies can be deposited. You can then decide whether to accept cookies on a case-by-case basis or to always accept cookies. Cookies can be used for different purposes, e.g. to show that your PC has previously connected to our website (permanent cookies) or to save your most recently viewed websites (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 the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation is not affected by this.
