3. purpose of data processing
Depending on the purpose and function, we divide cookies into the following categories:
a) Technically necessary cookies
Technically necessary cookies guarantee functions without which our website cannot be used as intended. These cookies are used exclusively by us and are therefore first party cookies. This means that all information stored in the cookies is sent back to our website. Technically necessary cookies are used, for example, to ensure that logged-in users always remain logged in when accessing various subpages of our website and therefore do not have to re-enter login data each time they access a new page.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our interest in the technically smooth provision of our website and the services offered through it prevails.
b) Functional cookies
Functional cookies enable our website to save information that has already been entered (such as registered name, language selection or the location of the user) and to offer improved and more personalized functions based on this. These cookies only collect and store data in such a way that user behavior on other websites cannot be tracked.
4. duration of storage, objection and removal options
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted by it to our site. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies.
You can revoke your consent to the use of cookies at any time with effect for the future. Please use one of the following options to do so:

In particular, it is possible that government agencies may access personal data without us or you being aware of this. Legal action may not be successful. We transfer personal data to third countries when using cookies in this case on the basis of the EU standard contractual clauses in order to establish an equivalent level of data protection, if necessary.

(2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit
this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where
(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR and the analogous provisions pursuant to the applicable data protection law or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR and the analogous provisions pursuant to the applicable data protection law and

8. right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law
You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect
the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
9. automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to
a decision based
solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
(2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
(3) is based on your explicit consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR and the analogous provisions pursuant to the applicable data protection law, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g and the analogous provisions pursuant to the applicable data protection law apply and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR and the analogous provisions under the applicable data protection law.
