​

In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser (so-called “session cookies”), while others remain on your device for longer and enable page settings to be saved (so-called “persistent cookies”). In the latter case, you can find the storage period in the overview of your web browser's cookie settings.

6) Web Analytics Services

​

Wix Analytics

 

This website uses the web analytics service provided by the following provider: Wix HQ, 6350671, Nemal Tel Aviv St 40, Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel

With the help of cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading terminal and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information about the terminal used, such as the IP address and browser information, in order to evaluate it for statistical analyses of usage behavior on our website and to create pseudonymized usage profiles. Among other things, this enables the evaluation of movement patterns (so-called heat maps), which show the duration of page visits and interactions with page content (e.g., text entries, scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs). Pseudonymization fundamentally excludes direct personal reference. There is no merging with other clear data about your person that has been collected in other ways.

All processing described above, in particular the reading or storage of information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

When data is transferred to the provider's location, an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed by an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

7) Tools and miscellaneous

​

Cookie consent tool

This website uses a so-called “cookie consent tool” to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The “cookie consent tool” is displayed to users when they visit the site in the form of an interactive user interface, on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking a box. When using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding consent by checking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's respective device if consent has been granted.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is not processed in this process.

If, in individual cases, the storage, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and, consequently, in the legally compliant design of our website.

Another legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. As the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
