3) Cookies

To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the certain functions, we use so-called “cookies” on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your end device. Some of these cookies are deleted again after the end of the browser session, i.e. after closing your browser (so-called “session cookies”). Other cookies remain on your end device and enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit (so-called “persistent cookies”). If cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information to an individual extent, such as browser and location data and IP address values. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which may vary depending on the cookie. The duration of the respective cookie storage can be found in the overview of the cookie settings of your web browser.

Insofar as personal data is also processed by individual cookies used by us, processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter b GDPR either for the execution of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter a GDPR in the case of a granted consent or in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.
