9.2 Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool" to obtain effective user consents 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 the page is accessed, where consents for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by checking boxes. By using the tool, all cookies/services that require consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding consents by checking the boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's device if consent has been given.

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

In individual cases, if the processing of personal data (such as the IP address) occurs for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our online presence.

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

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