Use of Usercentrics - Cookiebot
We use the consent management tool Usercentrics from Usercentrics GmbH (Rosenthal 4, 80331, Munich; “Usercentrics”) on our website.

The tool enables you to give consent to data processing via the website, in particular the setting of cookies, and to exercise your right to withdraw consents already given. The data processing serves the purpose of obtaining and documenting the necessary consents to data processing and thus complying with legal obligations. Cookies can be used for this purpose. The following information, among others, can be collected and sent to Usercentrics: date and time of the page visit, information about the browser you use and the device you use, anonymized IP address, opt-in and opt-out data.

Usercentrics uses the Google Cloud Platform of Google Ireland Limited, which may result in your data being transferred to the USA. There is no adequacy decision from the EU Commission for the USA. The data transfer takes place on the basis of standard contractual clauses as appropriate guarantees for the protection of personal data, which can be viewed at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks

The data processing is carried out to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.
