Cookie Policy

This website uses cookies and similar technologies (collectively “tools”) provided either by us or by third parties. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your device by the browser. Comparable technologies are, in particular, web storage (local / session storage), fingerprints, tags or pixels. Most browsers are set by default to accept cookies and similar technologies. However, you can usually set your browser so that tools are rejected or only saved with your prior consent. If you reject tools, you may not be able to use all of our services without problems. The tools we use are listed below, whereby we inform you in particular about the providers of the tools, the storage duration of the tools and the transfer of data to third parties. We also explain in which cases we obtain your voluntary consent to use the tools and how you can revoke this consent.

1 Legal basis and revocation

1.1 Legal basis

We use tools that are necessary for the operation of the website on the basis of our legitimate interest in enabling you to use our website in a more convenient and personalised way and to make it as time-saving as possible. In certain cases, these tools may also be necessary for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In these cases, access to and storage of information in the end device is mandatory and takes place in the EU on the basis of the implementation laws of the ePrivacy Directive of the EU member states. We use all other tools, in particular those for marketing purposes, on the basis of your consent. In these cases, access to and storage of information in the end device is subject to consent and takes place in the EU on the basis of the implementation laws of the ePrivacy Directive of the EU member states. If personal data is transferred to third countries, we refer you to our privacy policy, also with regard to the associated risks. If you have given your consent to the use of certain tools, we will (also) transfer the data processed when using the tools to third countries on the basis of this consent.

1.2 Obtaining consent

Our website uses the Real Banner to record and manage consent and any revocations. If you make a selection in the consent banner, a cookie is set that stores your consent or refusal. We use this technically necessary cookie on the basis of our legitimate interest in documenting your consent. Access to and storage of information in the end device is mandatory in these cases and takes place in the EU on the basis of the implementation laws of the ePrivacy Directive of the EU member states. If you delete your cookies, we will ask you for your consent again when you visit the website at a later date.

1.3 Withdrawal of consent or change of selection

You can withdraw your consent for certain tools at any time. To do this, please go to the settings of our cookie banner. There you can also change the selection of tools whose use you wish to consent to and find further information on the cookies and the respective storage period. Alternatively, you can also revoke your consent for certain tools directly with the provider.

2 Essential tools

We use certain tools to enable the basic functions of our website (“essential tools”). Without these tools, we would not be able to offer our service. Therefore, these tools are used without consent on the basis of our legitimate interests or to fulfil a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures. These tools include the cookies listed below.
