Cookies, and what they do

Our website uses cookies and comparable technologies (collectively referred to as “cookies”) that we require for some of the features on our website to work. A cookie is a file that stores certain information on the device – a PC, tablet, smartphone or similar – used to access our website. When your device accesses our website, the server hosting our website has several ways of evaluating the information stored in the cookie. Cookies may be used to recognise users coming back to our website and to track user behaviour.

Disabling some of the cookies may limit the functionality or user-friendliness of our website.

Legal basis for the use of cookies on our website

Our website uses essential cookies that are necessary to display the website according to GDPR Art. 6.1 (b). You cannot disable these preset cookies, which we use without requiring your consent. Section 25 para. 2 No. 2 of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG) also applies.

All other cookies require your consent. This involves a cookie banner displayed when you visit our website for the first time for you to select cookies to be stored according to your requirements and view detailed information on individual cookies such as the cookie’s name, why we use them, and how long they will be stored before deletion. Clicking “Accept” signals your consent according to Section 25 para. 1 of the Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG) in conjunction with GDPR Art. 6.1 (a). Click the cookie image at the bottom right of our website to change the default settings or enable or disable other cookies such as the YouTube plugin as required.

We will then process your personal data according to GDPR Art. 6.1 (a) after you have given your consent to cookies according to Section 25 para. 1 of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG). 

No cookies will be used apart from the essential cookies if you do not give your consent, eliminating the possibility of data transmission.
