  • If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing will take place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 Para. 1 TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.
