6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

General Information
Cookies are small files that your browser stores in a designated directory on your device. They allow the entity that sets the cookie to determine, among other things, whether you have previously visited a website.
Many cookies contain what is known as a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier consisting of a string of characters that enables websites and servers to associate the cookie with a specific internet browser in which it was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser from other internet browsers that store different cookies. A specific internet browser can thus be recognized and identified via its unique cookie ID.
Cookies cannot identify you personally without additional information.
Management
To manage the cookies and similar technologies used on our website (such as tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and the related consents, we use the Consent Tool “Real Cookie Banner.”
You can find details about how “Real Cookie Banner” works here:

The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the management of the cookies and similar technologies used, as well as the consents related to them.
Providing personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide personal data. However, if you do not provide the data, we will not be able to manage your consent preferences.
Adjustments
Here you can customize your cookie settings, review the history of your preferences, or revoke your consent to cookie storage.
