Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser. They may be session-based (deleted when the browser closes) or persistent (stored until they expire or you delete them). Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, tracking pixels and, in limited contexts, fingerprinting techniques. These technologies enable core site functions, security, user preferences, analytics and, where applicable, marketing measurement.

Storing or accessing information on your device requires your consent under Section 25(1) TDDDG (formerly TTDSG), unless the technology is strictly necessary to provide a telemedia service expressly requested by you (Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG). Any subsequent processing of personal data follows the GDPR, typically on the basis of consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) or our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) in secure, reliable operation of the site.

On your first visit we display a banner from our Consent Management Platform (CMP). You can accept all, reject all, or customize your choices. You can withdraw or change consent at any time with future effect via the banner icon or the "Manage preferences" link available on the site. If your browser blocks the banner, you can also adjust settings directly in your browser (see Section 9).

Strictly necessary: These enable essential features such as page navigation, load balancing, security (e.g., bot management), and remembering your consent choices. They do not require consent under Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG. Without them, the website cannot function properly.
Functional: These improve usability by remembering options such as language or display settings. They are used only with your consent.
Analytics: These help us understand how visitors use the site (e.g., which pages are viewed and for how long) so that we can improve performance and content. They are used only with your consent. Where possible, we configure analytics to use shortened IP addresses and similar safeguards.
Marketing (if used): These support measuring the effectiveness of advertising, limiting ad frequency, and building user profiles across websites. They are used only with your consent.

We aim to keep our use of cookies and similar technologies minimal. The consent banner provides an up‑to‑date list naming each technology, its provider, purpose and retention period. If you need a written list for records or contracts, contact us and we will send you the current inventory.

We retain cookies and comparable identifiers only for as long as needed for their stated purposes. Persistent cookies and local storage entries have defined lifetimes; you can delete them at any time using your browser controls. Deleting them may remove stored preferences (including your consent status) and may cause the banner to reappear.

If providers involved in analytics or marketing are based outside the EU/EEA or process data there, we rely on an adequacy decision of the European Commission or on appropriate safeguards such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses, and implement additional measures where necessary. Details are available in the providers’ notices and on request from us.

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies and other storage. You can usually find these settings under Privacy/Security. Blocking non‑essential cookies limits tracking. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may impair site functionality. After deletion, your previous choices may no longer be recognized.

We may update this notice to reflect changes in law or our use of technologies. The latest version is always available on this page. Substantive changes will be signposted via the banner or on‑site notice.

For questions about this Cookie Policy or your choices, please use the contact details in Section 1.
