These data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.

Cookies

Our website uses "cookies" – small text files that are stored on your device – and "tracking pixels," small graphic files, to optimize the user experience on our site. These technologies allow us to store user settings and other technical information that can be used for identification. This helps us understand how our website is used, which in turn helps us continuously improve our offer.

A significant advantage for you is that you do not have to re-enter your personal data each time you fill out forms on our site. Almost all modern websites use this practice to enhance usability. It is important to note that cookies are stored on your end device and do not have a direct connection to our website.

Specifically, after your login, we activate so-called "session cookies," which allow us to recognize you throughout your visit. These cookies automatically delete themselves when you end the session. For continuous login, "session cookies" can be set to store your login data encrypted. Simultaneous use of this function on different devices is not possible. Our use of cookies is limited to reading information already stored on your device by our site.

The basis for processing cookies is Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our aim is to continuously analyze, improve, and develop our offer.

If you do not want cookies or tracking pixels to be stored on your device, you have the option to adjust this in your browser settings. There you can also delete already stored cookies or be notified before a cookie is stored. The exact procedure can be found in the instructions of your browser. Please note that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

Legal Basis

The processing of your personal data is based on your consent (Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR), for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures (Article 6 (1) lit. b GDPR), due to legal obligations (Article 6 (1) lit. c GDPR), or due to our legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR), such as improving our web offering or protection against misuse.

Your Rights

You have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient, and the purpose of data processing, as well as a right to rectification, blocking, or deletion of these data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given above.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the case of violations of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, especially in the member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to occasionally adjust this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g., when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply for your next visit.
