Addition to the privacy policy
This cookie policy is a supplement to this website's privacy policy. The cookie policy specifies how a website uses cookies and what data it collects through them, while the privacy policy is a more comprehensive overview of all data processing activities on the website and beyond.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small pieces of information similar to text files that can be stored and read on the end device. They serve various purposes, including maintaining basic functionalities of the website, security and privacy, providing optional functions of the website, collecting statistic data on visitor flows and providing marketing systems. Practical examples of what can be stored in cookies are the storage of login status in user accounts, the content of shopping baskets in e-commerce platforms, or a user ID for tracking behavior on the website.
The information can technically be stored in various ways. The best-known examples of this are HTTP cookies and cookie-like technologies like local storage, session storage or IndexedDB. Each type of storage has different properties, which determine the technical handling, accessibility and controllers authorized to access the information. All these types of storage are usually summarized under the term "cookies" and are therefore called as such in this cookie policy.
What is the legal basis for setting/reading cookies?
The setting and reading of cookies in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) is in accordance with Art. 5 (3) ePrivacy Directive and Recital 66 ePrivacy Directive only permitted if a user has given his consent on the basis of comprehensive information about the purposes of the processing. The website operator may also set cookies if they are strictly necessary to provide you as a user with the expressly requested service, e.g. the basic content of this website or other strictly necessary cookies for basic functionality of the website to be displayed to you without your consent.
What rights does the website visitor have?
Services and their cookies can be set and read on the legal basis of your consent or a legitimate interest. When you first visited this website, you were asked for your consent and you had the opportunity to object to the use of certain services.
