Note: Some of the information below contains links to third-party websites. We record that we do not identify with the content of the websites which are linked to in the following and that we rule out any liability in this regard. The calling up of the linked websites is therefore done at your own risk.
1. What are cookies and when are they set?
1.1. Cookies are text files that are saved on the user's computer or smartphone. They typically contain information about websites visited by the user which the browser saves during the user's surfing on the Internet. Cookies make it possible to recognise the user again when he or she visits the website again and can therefore be used, e.g. to ensure that a user does not have to register again any more on a website after he or she has registered once. In addition, cookies are suitable for saving and transmitting information about the user's surfing behaviour.
1.2. Cookies are used both to improve the service quality, including the saving of user settings, and for recommendations of content and search results, as well as for the tracking of user trends, such as which content users like to access. This enables the usage of digital platforms to be analysed and valuable insights into the users' requirements to be gained. These insights contribute to improving the quality of digital platforms further.
1.3. As a general rule, cookies may only be set on the basis of prior, active consent from the user (regarding the exceptions please see under point 1.8. and 1.9. of this Cookie Policy). If you wish to use our online offerings, we therefore first obtain your consent (hereinafter referred to as "consent") to set cookies. To this end, a window (hereinafter referred to in brief as "cookie banner") appears when our websites are called up, with information about for which purposes we and third-party providers (hereinafter also referred to collectively in brief as "providers") wish to use cookies. You can generally consent to the use of cookies for the purposes listed in the cookie banner by clicking on the button "Accept all" in the cookie banner.
1.4. Via the button "Manage settings" in the cookie banner, you can make your choice for each of the purposes listed there or for each of the providers listed there as to whether you wish to permit cookies or not. For this purpose, you must click on the button "Save and close" in the cookie banner
Page 2 of 14 after you have made your choice. Via the button "Reject all", you can generally reject the setting of cookies (regarding the exceptions, see under point 1.8. and point 1.9. of this Cookie Policy).
1.5. If you consent to all or individual purposes listed in the cookie banner, this consent applies for all providers listed in the cookie banner who are requesting your consent for this purpose. However, you can also only grant your consent to one provider or individual providers listed in the cookie banner. In this case, your consent covers all purposes for which the provider or the providers has/have requested your consent.
1.6. Your consent towards us only applies for our online offerings (service-related). The range of your consent towards the third-party providers is based on the privacy policy of the respective third-party provider (service-related, per group of companies, or worldwide). The privacy policies of the individual third-party providers can be found in the cookie banner by selecting any third-party provider from the list with all third-party providers and clicking on "Display data privacy notice". You can access the list with all third-party providers by first clicking on the button "Manage settings" and then clicking on "Providers" in the top right-hand corner.
1.7. Consent once give or a selection with regard to cookies can be revoked by the user at any time via the data privacy symbol at the bottom of the screen of the website or with regard to the cookies set, and also modified again separately depending on the purpose or provider. In addition, the user can also deactivate cookies universally via the browser by selecting corresponding browser settings. Please note that you may not be able to use our online offerings, or only to a limited extent, if you do not permit certain cookies.
1.8. According to the valid legal situation (Section 96 Para. 3 of the Telecommunications Act [TKG]), certain cookies may also be set without your prior consent. This exception applies for cookies that are technically necessary for the provision of our online offerings. These cookies are designated in the cookie banner as "Strictly necessary cookies" and described in more detail there under point 2.1. and point 3.1. of this Cookie Policy.
1.9. In some cases, providers base their activities on a legitimate interest instead of your consent for the (further) processing of data collected by means of cookies. However, this necessitates that you have previously agreed to the purpose "Save and/or retrieve information on a device" (see in detail under point 2.2. of this policy) in the cookie banner. This means that there will be no data processing based on a legitimate interest without you consenting to the saving of information on your terminal and/or to retrieve information already saved on your terminal.
Page 3 of 14 You can object at any time to a (further) processing of data collected on the basis of your consent to cookies based on a legitimate interest by setting the slide bar for "Legitimate interest" from green to red in the cookie banner under "Manage privacy settings depending on purpose" or "Manage privacy settings depending on provider" and then clicking on the "Save and close" button. In this case, your data will no longer be processed for the respective purpose or by the respective provider, unless the provider's grounds for the processing that are worthy of protection outweigh. The grounds of the provider for data processing that are worthy of protection based on a legitimate interest outweigh in particular in the case of processing for the "Special purposes" described in the cookie banner and under point 2.6. of this Cookie Policy.
You can access "Manage privacy settings depending on purpose" by first clicking on "Manage settings" in the cookie banner and then selecting one of the purposes displayed there. You can access "Manage privacy settings depending on provider" by first clicking in the cookie banner on "Manage settings" and then, after selecting one of the purposes displayed there, selecting a provider that bases its activities on a legitimate interest. Alternatively, you can call up the list of providers by first clicking in the cookie banner on "Manage settings" and then in the top right-hand corner on "Providers". By clicking on any provider from the list, you can determine for each provider for which purposes this provider is basing its activities on a legitimate interest, and if necessary object to the processing.
1.10. When obtaining your consent to cookies and the (further) processing of data collected on the basis of your consent to cookies based on a legitimate interest, we abide by the so-called "Transparency and Consent Framework" of the Interactive Advertising Bureau Europe (hereinafter referred to in brief as "IAB Europe"). This is a voluntary self-commitment by the international advertising industry with the goal of ensuring that the decision taken by a user with regard to cookies (full consent to cookies – consent only for certain purposes and/or providers – no consent to cookies) is also consistently adhered to across various digital platforms. Further information on the Transparency and Consent Framework can be found on the website of IAB Europe under: https://iabeurope.eu/transparency-consent-framework/.
1.11. Under point 2. of this Cookie Policy, the purposes for which we and third-party providers wish to use cookies are described in more detail, in addition to the depiction in the cookie banner.

Special functions that require the separate consent from the user are:
• Use precise location data
Your precise location data can be used for one or more processing purposes ("precise location data" means that there are no restrictions with regard to the precision of the location; this can be accurate down to the last few metres). In the process, providers can: o process precise location data in order to use them for one or more processing purposes.
• Actively poll device characteristics for identification
Your terminal can be recognised via a polling of its specific features. In the process, providers can:
Page 10 of 14 o create an identifier from data that have been gained from the active polling of certain characteristics of a device (e.g. the installed fonts or the screen resolution) o use such an identifier to identify a terminal again.
