Cookies
Our website use cookies. Cookies are small text files containing a series of numbers and letters that are stored on the end device you use. Cookies are primarily used to exchange information between the end device you use and our website. This includes, for example, the language settings on a website, the login status or the location where a video was viewed.
During your visit at our website two types of cookies are used:
-
Temporary cookies (session cookies): These store a so-called Session-ID, with which different requests of your browser can be assigned to the common session. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.
-
Permanent cookies: These store a so-called Session-ID, with which different requests of your browser can be assigned to the common session. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.
In addition to the above categorization, cookies can also be differentiated according to their purpose:
-
Necessary cookies: These are cookies that are absolutely necessary for the operation of our website, to store logins or shopping baskets for the duration of your session or cookies that are set for security reasons.
-
Statistical, marketing and personalization cookies: These are cookies that are used for analysis purposes or for monitoring distribution. Such "tracking" cookies may be used to store information on search terms entered or the frequency of page views. In addition, the surfing behaviour of an individual user (e.g. viewing certain content, using functions, etc.) can also be stored in a user profile. Such profiles are used to display content to users that matches their potential interests. Insofar as we use services via which cookies are stored on your end device for statistical, marketing and personalization purposes, we will inform you separately in the following sections of our data protection declaration or when obtaining your agreement.
Data concerned:
- Usage data (e.g. access times, websites clicked on)
- Communication data (e.g. information about the used device, IP address)
Persons concerned: Users of our online offers
Intended use: Displaying our Internet pages and guaranteeing the operation of our websites. Therefore, only necessary cookies are set by us! Statistical, marketing and personalization cookies are completely avoided, which is why we do not have to use a separate cookie banner or content tools. These serve the purpose of informing the user about the use of cookies on the one hand, and to give him/her the opportunity to decide which cookie settings he/she wants to accept for the respective website on the other hand. Since users do not need to consent to the use of technically necessary cookies under current law, there is no need for such cookies to be mentioned in a special cookie banner that is displayed when the page is accessed. After all, there is no need to grant consent or other means of acceptance. In this respect it is sufficient for technically necessary cookies that information about their use and functionality is shown in the data protection declaration - we have done this herewith.
Legal base:
Legitimate interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO
If we do not obtain your consent to the use of cookies, we base the processing of your data on our legitimate interest in improving the quality and user-friendliness of our website, in particular the content and functions. You have the security settings of your browser to reject the use of cookies set by us within the scope of our legitimate interest. There you have the possibility to specify whether you do not accept cookies from the beginning or only accept cookies on request or whether you want cookies to be deleted each time you close your browser. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it is possible that not all functions of the website can be used to their complete extent.
Consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO
If we ask you before your stay on our website to be allowed to set certain cookies on your end device and you agree to this, the legal base is to be seen in the consent you have given. Within the scope of the agreement, we will inform you which cookies we set in detail. If you do not give your consent, only the so-called technically necessary cookies will be set, which are necessary for the proper operation of our Internet pages and their display in your browser. If you have consented to the setting of cookies, you have the possibility to revoke your consent at any time.
