Supplement to the Privacy Policy

This Cookie Policy is a supplement to this website's Privacy Policy. The Cookie Policy specifies how a website uses cookies and what data it collects with them, whereas the Privacy Policy provides a more comprehensive overview of all data processing activities on and beyond the website.

Cookies are small units of information, similar to text files, that can be stored and read on the end device. They serve various purposes, including maintaining basic website functions, security and data protection, providing optional website features, collecting statistical data on visitor flows, and enabling marketing systems. Practical examples of what can be stored in cookies include the login status in user accounts, the contents of shopping carts on e-commerce platforms, or a user ID for tracking website behavior.

The information can be technically stored in various ways. The best-known examples include HTTP cookies and cookie-like technologies such as local storage, session storage, or IndexedDB. Each type of storage has different characteristics that determine technical handling, accessibility, and the controllers 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.

The setting and reading of cookies in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) is only permissible according to § 25 TDDDG (Germany) and § 165 TKG (Austria) if a user has given their consent based on comprehensive information about the purposes of processing. The website operator may also set cookies if they are strictly necessary to provide you, as a user, with the explicitly requested service, e.g., the basic content of this website or other strictly necessary cookies for fundamental website functions that are displayed to you without your consent.
