4. Cookies on our website
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device, nor do they contain viruses, Trojans or other malware. The cookie is used to store information that is related to the specific device used. This does not mean, however, that we gain direct knowledge of your identity. The use of cookies serves on the one hand to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site. In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness. These cookies are stored on your device for a certain fixed period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, the system automatically recognizes that you have already been to our site and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again. On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record how our website is being used and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our services for you (see Section 5). These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already been to our site when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

5. Integrating third-party services and content on our website
We use content or services offered by third-party providers on our website in order to integrate their content and services, such as fonts. This requires that the third-party providers are aware of your IP address, because otherwise they would not be able to send the content to your browser. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of the content. We endeavor to use only such content for which the respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on your device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information about the use of our online services. It may also be linked to such information from other sources. The legal foundation for the use of these services and the associated processing of personal data results from Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the operation, optimization and appealing presentation of our website.

Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the original purpose for storing it no longer applies.

Unless expressly stated otherwise within the scope of this data protection declaration, the data we have stored will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for reasons of commercial or tax law.
