4. Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device.

We use the following cookie categories:

Insofar as we use analysis or statistics cookies, this only happens with your consent. These cookies help us to better understand the use of the website and to improve our offer.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR (consent) in conjunction with Section 25 TDDDG.

Information on the type, purpose, provider, and storage duration of the respective specific cookies can be viewed in our cookie banner or in the cookie details available there.

Insofar as a data transfer to a third country takes place, this is done on the basis of appropriate safeguards (e.g., EU standard contractual clauses) and – if necessary – additional technical and organizational measures.
