Our Internet pages use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions that you have requested, or to optimize the website (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis is given. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.

If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

4.2 Consent Management – CookieYes

Our website uses consent technology to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your end device or to the use of certain technologies and to document this in compliance with data protection regulations.

The provider of this technology is: CookieYes Limited, 3 Warren Yard Warren Park, Wolverton Mill, Milton Keynes, MK12 5NW, United Kingdom. Email: support@cookieyes.com

When you enter our website, a connection is established to the CookieYes servers in order to obtain your consent and other declarations regarding the use of cookies. CookieYes then stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consents you have given or revoke them. The data collected in this way is stored until you ask us to delete it, delete the CookieYes consent cookie yourself or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies.

The United Kingdom has received an adequacy decision from the European Commission, ensuring an adequate level of data protection for data transfers.

This consent tool is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

If you send us inquiries using the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the request and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

4.5 Newsletter

If you subscribe to our company's newsletter, the data in the respective input mask will be transmitted to the controller. Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that you will receive an e-mail after registration asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can log in with other people's e-mail addresses.

When registering for the newsletter, the user's IP address and the date and time of registration are stored. This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address of the data subject. The data will not be passed on to third parties. An exception exists if there is a legal obligation to pass on the data.

The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter. The subscription to the newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. Consent to the storage of personal data can also be revoked at any time. For this purpose, you will find a corresponding link in every newsletter.
