Cookiebot

We use the consent management service Cookiebot, provided by Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark (Cybot). This enables us to obtain and manage consent from website users for data processing. The processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 7 para. 1DSGVO) to which we are subject (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c DSGVO).

The key and consent status are stored in the browser for 12 months using the cookie “CookieConsent”. This preserves your cookie preference for subsequent page requests. With the help of the key, your consent can be proven and tracked.

If you enable the “Collective Consent” service feature to enable consent for multiple web pages through a single end-user consent, the service will also store a separate, random, unique ID with your consent.

If all of the following criteria are met, this key is stored in the third-party cookie “CookieConsentBulkTicket” in your browser in encrypted form:
You enable the collective consent feature in the service configuration. You allow third-party cookies via browser settings. You have disabled “Do not track” via browser settings. You accept all or at least certain types of cookies when you give consent.

The functionality of the website is not guaranteed without the processing. Cybot is a recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us.

The processing takes place in the European Union. You can find more information about objection and removal options vis-à-vis Cybot at: https://www.cookiebot.com/de/privacy-policy/.
