Addition to the privacy policy
This cookie policy is a supplement to our Privacy Policy. The cookie policy explains how this website uses cookies and what data it collects through them, while the Privacy Policy is a more comprehensive overview of all data processing on the website and beyond.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small pieces of information, similar to text files, that can be stored and read on your device. They serve various purposes, including maintaining basic functions of the website, security and privacy, providing optional features, collecting statistics on visitor numbers and supporting marketing.
The information can be stored in various ways, for example HTTP cookies or cookie-like technologies such as local storage, session storage or IndexedDB. All of these are referred to as “cookies” in this policy.
What is the legal basis for setting and reading cookies?
Under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, cookies may only be set or read with your consent, given on the basis of clear information about their purpose. Cookies that are strictly necessary to provide the service you have requested, such as the basic functions of this website, may be set without your consent.
What rights do you have?
Optional cookies are only set if you give your consent. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie settings on this website, which are also linked in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing before you withdrew it.
