Information on the use of cookies

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

We integrate and use cookies on various pages to enable certain functions of our website and to integrate external web services. The so-called “cookies” are small text files that your browser can store on your access device. These text files contain a characteristic string that uniquely identifies the browser when you return to our website. The process of saving a cookie file is also referred to as “setting a cookie”. Cookies can be set both by the website itself and by external web services. Cookies are set by our website or external web services in order 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 pseudonyms, e.g. a unique or random ID, so that we can provide more personalised services. Details are set out in the table below.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as the cookies are processed on the basis of consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO, this consent is also deemed to be consent within the meaning of Section 25 (1) TTDSG for the setting of the cookie on the user’s terminal device. Insofar as another legal basis is mentioned according to the DSGVO (e.g. for the fulfilment of a contract or for the fulfilment of legal obligations), the storage or setting takes place on the basis of an exception according to § 25 para. 2 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 found in the cookie table listed later in this point.
Purpose of data processing

Cookies are set by our website or 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 pseudonyms, such as a unique or random ID, so that we can provide more personalised services. Details are set out in the table below.
Duration of storage

Our cookies are stored until deleted from your browser or, if it is a session cookie, until the session expires. Details are set out in the table below.
Possibility of objection and removal

You can set your browser according to your wishes so that the setting of cookies is generally prevented. You can then decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept cookies or accept cookies in principle. Cookies can be used for various purposes, e.g. to recognise that your access device is already connected to our website (permanent cookies) or to save recently viewed offers (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 lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation is not affected by this.
