The information stored can include, for example, the language settings on a website, the login status, a video that was watched, etc. The term “cookies” also includes other technologies that perform the same functions as cookies (e.g. when user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also known as “user IDs”).

    Notes on legal bases

    Cookie consent tool (manager)

    Our website uses a so-called “cookie manager” to obtain user consent in the area of ​​cookies, for cookies requiring consent and their applications. When visiting the website for the first time, the cookie manager gives all site visitors the opportunity, in the form of an interactive user interface, to set their consent for certain cookies and/or applications or to object to them. With the help of the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the user has given the relevant consent. This ensures that such cookies are only loaded if consent has been given. Subsequent changes via the cookie manager are possible at any time on any subpage.

    Technically necessary cookies cannot be saved or changed by the user in the cookie manager; this is done for the security of the website; these are only necessary technical cookies. By setting the settings in the cookie manager, a cookie is set to save the settings, as a result of which the processing takes place in accordance with (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) and (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a. GDPR) based on our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent for cookies or your direct consent.

    Another legal basis for processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter c GDPR.

    Unless otherwise specified, the duration of storage of consent for cookies and its services can be up to 365 days. Here, a pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored with the time of consent, information about the scope of the consent (e.g. which categories of cookies and/or service providers) as well as the browser, system and device used.

    The consent or revocation for the setting of cookies is logged by the system for the purpose of proof and stored for the duration of the consent or objection. The data only includes the IP address, the date and a pseudonym.

    Google Analytics

    Web analysis (also referred to as "reach measurement") is used to evaluate the flow of visitors to our online offering and can include behavior, interests or demographic information about visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values.

    With the help of reach analysis, we can, for example, identify at what time our online offering or its functions or content are used most frequently or invite reuse. We can also understand which areas require optimization. In addition to web analysis, we can also use testing procedures, for example to test and optimize different versions of our online offering or its components.

    For these purposes, so-called user profiles can be created and stored in a file (so-called “cookie”) or similar procedures can be used for the same purpose.

    This information may include, for example, content viewed, websites visited and elements used there and technical information such as the browser used, the computer system used and information about times of use. If users have consented to the collection of their location data, this can also be processed, depending on the provider. The users’ IP addresses are also stored.

    However, we use an IP masking process (ie pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) to protect users. In general, as part of web analysis, A/B testing and optimization, no clear user data (such as email addresses or names) is stored, but rather pseudonyms. This means that we and the providers of the software used do not know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles for the purposes of the respective procedures. Notes on legal bases
    If we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for processing data is consent.

    Otherwise, user data will be processed based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in efficient, economical and beginner-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to draw your attention to the information on the use of cookies in this data protection declaration. Types of data processed
