Supplement to the Data Protection Policy
This Cookie Policy is a supplement to the {{PrivacyPolicy}}Privacy Policy{{/privacyPolicy}} of this website. The cookie policy sets out how a website uses cookies and what data it collects with them, while the privacy policy provides a more comprehensive overview of all data processing activities on the website and beyond.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small units of information, similar to text files, which can be stored and read on the end device. They serve various purposes, including the maintenance of basic website functions, security and data protection, the provision of optional website functions, the collection of statistical data on visitor flows and the provision of marketing systems. Practical examples of what can be stored in cookies are the storage of login status in user accounts, the content of shopping baskets in e-commerce platforms or a user ID for tracking behaviour on the website.
The information can technically be stored in various ways. The best-known examples of this are HTTP cookies and cookie-like technologies such as local storage, session storage or IndexedDB. Each type of storage has different characteristics that determine the technical handling, accessibility and the authorised persons responsible for accessing the information. All these types of storage are generally summarised under the term „cookies“ and are therefore also referred to as such in this cookie policy.
What is the legal basis for setting/reading cookies?
The setting and reading of cookies is only permitted in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) in accordance with Art. 5 (3) ePrivacy Directive and Recital 66 ePrivacy Directive if a user has given their consent on the basis of comprehensive information about the purposes of the processing. The website operator may also set cookies if they are absolutely necessary to provide you as a user with the expressly requested service, e.g. the basic content of this website or other strictly necessary cookies for basic functions of the website that are displayed to you without your consent.
What rights does the website visitor have?
Services and their cookies can be set and read on the legal basis of your consent or a legitimate interest. When you visited this website for the first time, you were asked for your consent and had the opportunity to object to the use of certain services. We have explained which legal basis is used for which service in our consent dialogue.
You have the right to view the history of your choices, change your privacy settings, object to the use of services and withdraw your consent at any time. Below you will find ways to exercise your rights:
How do I manage cookies in a browser?
- How to remove cookies in a browser: To remove cookies from your device, you can delete the browser data in your browser settings. This will delete all cookies from all websites you have visited, possibly including saved login data and website settings. In some browsers, you can only delete the cookies and similar data without deleting the entire browsing history.
- How to control cookies in a browser: If you want to have more precise control over the cookies of certain websites, go to the privacy and cookie settings in your browser. Here you can adjust the settings for the use of cookies on individual websites.
- How to block cookies in a browser: With most modern browsers, you can specify in the settings that no cookies are stored on your device. However, blocking cookies can result in certain services and functions not working properly, e.g. logging in as a user. There are also extensions for many browsers that can block the setting of cookies on websites.
- How to manage cookies on this website: To customise your preferences regarding cookies on this website, you can change your settings at any time by clicking on the link in the „Website visitor rights“ section.

What types of cookies are there?
- Essential cookies are essential for the basic functionality of a website and enable functions such as storing login information or access to secure areas of the website. These include, for example, security cookies that can identify a bot that is not wanted on the website by storing an authentication key in a cookie.
- Functional cookies improve the user experience by storing information and preferences such as language settings or settings for the appearance of the website to enable a personalised display. This includes, for example, preference cookies, which store the user's preferred video quality on a website.
- Statistics cookies collect data about the use of a website in order to gain insights into user behaviour and to optimise the performance of the website. This includes, for example, a randomly assigned user ID that can be used to determine whether you have visited a subpage of the website.
- Marketing cookies are used to track user behaviour across different websites and to display personalised advertising based on users' interests and browsing behaviour. This includes, for example, advertising cookies that store an interaction with an advert on the website and forward it to advertisers, or a chat system for pre-purchase questions and customer support.
Who can set cookies on this website?
On this website, both the website operator and third-party services used on this website can set cookies and access their content. A distinction is made between first-party and third-party cookies as to who can access which cookies and their content. First-party cookies are created by the visited website and can only be read by the operator of the website and the integrated third-party services on this website. Third-party cookies are usually set by third-party services on other domains, can be read on all websites on which the service that controls the domain is embedded and are used, for example, by advertising networks to track user behaviour across different websites and offer personalised advertising.
