Addendum to the Privacy Policy
This cookie policy supplements this website’s privacy policy. The cookie policy specifies how a website uses cookies and what data it collects through them, while the privacy policy provides a more comprehensive overview of all data processing activities on the website and beyond.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small pieces of information, similar to text files, that can be stored and read on the user’s device. They serve various purposes, including maintaining basic website functionality, ensuring security and privacy, providing optional website features, collecting statistical data on visitor traffic, and supporting marketing systems. Practical examples of what can be stored in cookies include a user’s login status, the contents of shopping carts on e-commerce platforms, or a user ID for tracking behavior on the website.
Technically, this information can be stored in various ways. The best-known examples of this are HTTP cookies and cookie-like technologies such as local storage, session storage, or IndexedDB. Each type of storage has different properties, which determine how it is technically handled, its accessibility, and which controllers are authorized to access the information. All these types of storage are generally grouped under the term „cookies“ and are therefore referred to as such in this cookie policy.
What is the legal basis for setting/reading cookies?
In the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), the setting and reading of cookies is permitted under Art. 5 (3) ePrivacy Directive and Recital 66 ePrivacy Directive only if a user has given their consent based on comprehensive information about the purposes of the processing. The website operator may also set cookies without your consent if they are strictly necessary to provide you, as a user, with the service you have expressly requested—for example, the basic content of this website or other strictly necessary cookies required for the website’s basic functionality to be displayed to you.
What rights do website visitors have?
Services and their cookies may be set and read based on your consent or a legitimate interest. When you first visited this website, you were asked for your consent and had the option to opt out of the use of certain services. We have explained which legal basis applies to which service in our consent dialog.
You have the right to view your decision history, change your privacy settings, object to the use of services, and withdraw your consent at any time. Below are ways to exercise your rights:
How do you manage cookies in a browser?
- How to delete cookies in a browser: To remove cookies from your device, you can clear your browser data in your browser's settings. This will delete all cookies from all websites you've visited, as well as any saved login information and website settings. In some browsers, you can delete only cookies and similar data without deleting your entire browsing history.
- How to manage cookies in a browser: If you want more control over the cookies used by specific websites, go to the privacy and cookie settings in your browser. There, you can customize the settings for how cookies are used on individual websites.
- How to block cookies in a browser: In most modern browsers, you can go into the settings and choose not to allow cookies to be stored on your device. However, blocking cookies may prevent certain services and features from working properly, such as logging in as a user. Many browsers also offer extensions that can block websites from setting cookies.
- How to manage cookies on this website: To customize your cookie preferences on this website, you can change your settings at any time by clicking the link in the „Website Visitor Rights“ section.

What types of cookies are there?
- Essential Cookies are essential for a website's basic functionality and enable features such as saving login information or accessing secure areas of the website. These include, for example, security cookies, which can identify an unwanted bot on the website by storing an authentication key in a cookie.
- Functional Cookies They improve the user experience by storing information and preferences—such as language settings or website appearance settings—to enable a personalized display. These include, for example, preference cookies, which store users' preferred video quality on a website.
- Statistics Cookies collect data about how a website is used to gain insights into user behavior and optimize the website's performance. This includes, for example, a randomly assigned user ID that can be used to determine whether you have visited a subpage of the website.
- Marketing Cookies are used to track user behavior across different websites and to display personalized ads based on users' interests and browsing behavior. These include, for example, advertising cookies that record interactions with an ad on the website and forward this information to advertisers, or a chat system for pre-purchase questions and customer support.
Who can set cookies on this website?
On this website, both the website operator and third-party services used on this website may set cookies and access their content. Who can access which cookies and their content differs between first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created by the website you are visiting and can only be read by the website operator and the third-party services integrated into this website. Third-party cookies are typically set by third-party services on other domains; they can be read on all websites where the service that controls the domain is embedded and are used, for example, by advertising networks to track user behavior across different websites and deliver personalized advertising.
