Consent-Management-Platform Contao Consent (hofff/contao-consent)

To make it easier for us to ask for your consent to the use of cookies or other tracking technologies so that we can process your device information and personal data when you visit our website, we use the consent tool “Contao Consent” (hofff/contao-consent). “Contao Consent” gives you the opportunity to accept or decline the processing of your device information and personal data using cookies or other tracking technologies for the purposes listed in the “Contao Consent” tool. Such processing purposes may include the integration of external elements, integration of streamed content, statistical analysis, reach measurement and personalised advertising. You can use “Contao Consent” to grant or refuse your consent for all processing purposes, or to grant or refuse your consent for individual purposes or third-party providers. You can change your settings again later on. The purpose of integrating “Contao Consent” is to allow users of our website to decide whether to allow cookies and similar technologies, and to offer them the opportunity to change settings that they have already made when they continue to use our website. When “Contao Consent” is used, we process personal data as well as information from the devices used. No data is sent to a third-party provider. The information about the settings you have made is stored locally on your device. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1) Sentence 1(c) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7(1) GDPR, insofar as the processing serves to fulfil the legally standardised obligations to provide evidence for the granting of consent. Otherwise, Art. 6(1) Sentence 1(f) GDPR is the relevant legal basis. Our legitimate interests in this processing lie in the storage of users’ settings and preferences with regard to the use of cookies and other features. A new request for your consent will be made twelve months after you saved your user settings. Your user settings will then be saved again for this period, unless you delete the information about your user settings yourself beforehand in your device’s settings.

You may object to the processing, insofar as processing is based on Art. 6(1) Sentence 1(f) GDPR. Your right of objection exists if you have reasons arising from your particular situation. You can send us your objection via the contact details listed in the “Responsible person” section.
