Cookie Consent Tool
This website uses a so-called “Cookie Consent Tool” to obtain effective user consents for cookies requiring consent and cookie-based applications. The “Cookie Consent Tool” is displayed to users as an interactive user interface when they visit the page, allowing them to grant consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking a box. Through the use of this tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding consents by checking a box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's respective device if consent has been granted.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed here.
If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.
A further legal basis for processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As controllers, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.
Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
Further information on the operator and the setting options of the Cookie Consent Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
