The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.

3) Cookies

In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after closing the browser (so-called ‘session cookies’), while others remain on your device for longer and enable the storage of page settings (so-called ‘persistent cookies’). In the latter case, you can find the storage period in the overview of your web browser's cookie settings.

If personal data is also processed by individual cookies used by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR either for the performance of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR in the case of consent, or in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the page visit.

5) Page functionalities

Adobe Fonts (Typekit)

This site uses so-called web fonts from the following provider for the uniform display of fonts: Adobe Systems Incorporated, 345 Park Avenue, San Jose, CA 95110-2704, USA

When you visit a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly and establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers. In doing so, certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

The processing of personal data in the course of establishing contact with the font provider will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service via the ‘Cookie Consent Tool’ provided on the website. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with European data protection standards on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

6) Tools and other information

Cookie consent tool

This website uses a so-called ‘cookie consent tool’ to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The ‘cookie consent tool’ is displayed to users when they visit the website in the form of an interactive user interface, on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking a box. When using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding consent by ticking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's respective end device if consent has been granted.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is not processed in this process.

If, in individual cases, the storage, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and, consequently, in the legally compliant design of our website.

Another legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. As the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

Further information about the operator and the settings options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
