3. Cookies

In addition to the data processing described above, we use technical tools for various functions when you use our website, in particular cookies, which may be stored on your end device. When you first access our website, and at any time thereafter, you can manage the use of cookies.

3.1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are used for our website – as on many websites. Cookies are small text files which are stored on your computer, and which store certain settings and data for exchange with our website via your browser. A cookie usually contains the name of the domain from which the cookie file was sent, as well as information about the age of the cookie and an alphanumeric identifier.

Cookies allow us to recognise your computer and to make all your settings and preferences instantly available. Wherever possible, the cookies we use are session cookies, which are automatically deleted at the end of your browser session. Occasionally, we may use longer-lasting cookies to remember your preferences the next time you visit our site.

3.2. How to manage cookies?

Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. However, you can deactivate the storage of cookies or set your browser to notify you when cookies are sent. It is also possible to manually delete cookies that have already been saved via the browser settings. Please note that if you refuse to accept cookies or delete necessary cookies, you may not be able to use our website to the full extent or at all.

Once you have made your choice, you can change it at any time by going back to the cookie settings by clicking on the “Consent Preferences”-button in the bottom left corner of our website.

3.3. What is the legal basis for the use of cookies?

We use both cookies that are strictly necessary and cookies which require your consent.

If cookies are not strictly necessary for our online services, we will ask you to consent to the use of cookies when you access our online services for the first time. With regard to non-essential cookies from third parties, you will find a more detailed description of the services we use from these third parties below. The legal basis for the associated data processing, including any data transfer, is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR). Once you have given your consent, you can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future, in particular by changing the selected settings.

The legal basis for the use of necessary cookies is our legitimate interest in providing a functional website (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR) and – insofar as contracts are concluded or fulfilled via our website – the performance of the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR).

4. Data transfer to third countries

We will only process your personal data within the European Economic Area (EEA) or countries that have been recognized by the European Commission as providing for an adequate level of data protection law.

If data is transferred to entities whose registered office or place of data processing is outside the EEA or outside a country for which an adequate level of data protection has been established by a decision of the European Commission, we will ensure before the transfer that the data transfer is covered by a legal authorisation and that there are guarantees for an adequate level of data protection with regard to the data transfer (e.g. through the agreement of contractual guarantees, officially recognised regulations or binding internal data protection regulations at the recipient) or that you have given your consent to the data transfer.

In these cases, we will inform you of the transfer in this privacy policy.

5. Retention period

We will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations.

If your personal data is no longer required for the fulfilment of contractual or legal obligations, it will be deleted, unless its (temporary) further processing is necessary for the preservation of evidence within the framework of statutory limitation periods. According to Sections 195 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB), these limitation periods can be up to 30 years, with the regular limitation period being 3 years.

6. Your rights as a data subject

  • in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR, to revoke your consent once given;
