8) Tools and Miscellaneous
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 in the form of an
interactive user interface when they access the page, on which consent for
certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking the
appropriate box.
Using
the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the
respective user provides the corresponding consent by ticking the corresponding
box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the respective end device
of the user if consent has been granted.
The
tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences.
Personal user data is generally not processed.
If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed
for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done
in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point GDPR based on our legitimate interest in
legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for
cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.
Further legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) point c GDPR. As the
responsible party, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of
technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.
Further information on the operator and the setting options of the cookie
consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our
website.
