This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration.

5) Tools and other
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 page in the form of an interactive user interface on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking boxes. By using the tool, all cookies/services that require consent are only loaded if the respective user gives the corresponding consent by ticking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the user’s respective device if consent has been given.
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) (f) GDPR on the basis of 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.

Another legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (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.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

You can find further information about the operator and the setting options of the cookie consent tool directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
