8) Tools and Miscellaneous

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 when the page is called up in the form of an interactive user interface, where consents for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by ticking the checkbox. All cookies/services that require consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding consents by ticking the checkbox. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the user's device if consent has been granted.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context. If personal data is processed for storage, allocation, or logging of cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thereby in a legally compliant design of our online presence. The additional legal basis for processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As the responsible party, we are legally obligated to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.
If necessary, we have concluded a processing contract with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
Further information about the operator and the setting options of the Cookie-Consent-Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
