Addendum to the privacy policy

This cookie policy supplements this website’s privacy policy. The cookie policy sets out how a website uses cookies and what data it collects through them, whilst the privacy policy provides a more comprehensive overview of all data processing activities on the website and beyond.

Cookies are small pieces of information, similar to text files, which can be stored and read on the end-user’s device. They serve various purposes, including maintaining the website’s basic functionality, ensuring security and privacy, providing optional website features, collecting statistical data on visitor traffic, and facilitating marketing systems. Practical examples of what can be stored in cookies include the login status for user accounts, the contents of shopping baskets on e-commerce platforms, or a user ID for tracking behaviour on the website.

Technically, information can be stored in various ways. The best-known examples are HTTP cookies and cookie-like technologies, such as local storage, session storage or IndexedDB. Each type of storage has different properties, which determine how it is technically managed, its accessibility and the data controllers authorised to access the information. All these types of storage are usually grouped under the term ‘cookies’ and are therefore referred to as such in this cookie policy.

The setting and reading of cookies in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) is in accordance with Art. 5 (3) ePrivacy Directive and Recital 66 ePrivacy Directive only permitted 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 strictly necessary to provide you, as a user, with the service you have expressly requested – for example, the basic content of this website or other strictly necessary cookies required for the basic functionality of the website to be displayed to you – without your consent.
