The legal basis for the processing of data is Article 6 (1) (1) (f) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

4. Cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website. Cookies do not cause damage to your device and do not contain viruses, Trojan horses or any other malware.

This website uses Piwik, an open source software that utilises cookies for the statistical analysis of visitor access. The cookie is used to store information that is related to the specific device used. However, this does not mean that we will gain direct knowledge of your identity. The use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more convenient for you. For example, we use session cookies to recognise that you have already visited certain pages on our website. These session cookies are automatically deleted after you leave our site. In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise your user experience, which are then stored on your device for a specific period of time. If you visit our website again to make use of our services, this allows the site to automatically recognise that you have visited previously, and what inputs you made and which settings you selected so that you do not have to enter them again. We also use cookies to record statistics about the use of our website. These cookies allow us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The data processed by cookies are necessary for the abovementioned purposes to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Article 6 (1) (1) (f) of the GDPR. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a message always appears before a new cookie is created. The complete deactivation of cookies may, however, result in you not being able to use all functions of our website.

5. Rights for data subjects

7. Data security

When you visit our website, we employ the widely used SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. In most cases, this means 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell that an individual page of our website has been transmitted in encrypted form when the symbol of a closed lock or key appears in the lower status bar of your browser. We also apply the requisite technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, and destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. We continuously improve our security measures in line with technological developments.
