Supplement to the Privacy Policy

This Cookie Policy is a supplement to the Privacy Policy of this website. The Cookie Policy specifies how a website uses cookies and what data it collects with 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 end device. They serve various purposes, including maintaining basic website functions, security and data protection, providing optional website features, collecting statistical data on visitor traffic, and providing marketing systems. Practical examples of what can be stored in cookies include storing login status in user accounts, the contents of shopping carts on e-commerce platforms, or a user ID for tracking behavior on the website.

The information can be stored in various ways using different technologies. 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 characteristics that determine the technical handling, accessibility, and those responsible for accessing the information. All of these types of storage are generally summarized under the term “cookies” and are therefore also referred to as such in this cookie policy. What is the legal basis for setting/reading cookies? Setting and reading cookies is only permitted in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) in accordance with § 25 TDDDG (Germany) and § 165 TKG (Austria) if a user has given their consent on the basis of comprehensive information about the purposes of the processing. The website operator may also set cookies if they are absolutely necessary to provide you, the user, with the service you have expressly requested, e.g., the basic content of this website or other cookies that are absolutely necessary for basic website functions, which are displayed to you without your consent. What rights do website visitors have? Services and their cookies can be set and read on the legal basis of your consent or a legitimate interest. When you first visited this website, you were asked for your consent and had the opportunity to object to the use of certain services. In our consent dialog, we explained which legal basis is used for which service.

You have the right to view the history of your decisions, change your privacy settings, object to the use of services, and withdraw your consent at any time. Below are ways to exercise your rights:

However, blocking cookies may cause certain services and features to no longer function properly, such as user login. You can also use extensions for many browsers that can block cookies from being set on websites.How to manage cookies on this website: To adjust your cookie settings on this website, you can change your settings at any time by clicking on the link in the “Website visitor rights” section.

What types of cookies are there?

Essential cookies are essential for the basic functionality of a website and enable functions such as saving login data or accessing secure areas of the website. These include, for example, security cookies that can identify an unwanted bot on the website by storing an authentication key in a cookie.

Functional cookies improve the user experience by storing information and preferences such as language settings or display settings of the website in order to provide a personalized experience. 

These include, for example, preference cookies that store the user's preferred video quality on a website.

Statistical cookies collect data about the use of a website in order to gain insights into user behavior and optimize the performance of the website. 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 display personalized advertising based on users' interests and browsing behavior. These include, for example, advertising cookies that store interaction with an advertisement on the website and forward it 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 can 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 visit and can only be read by the website operator and the integrated third-party services on that website. Third-party cookies are usually set by third-party services on other domains, 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 offer personalized advertising.

Which cookies are used on this website?

Cloudflare

Purpose: Cloudflare protects the website and its technical infrastructure from malicious website visitors and results in faster website loading times by delivering static content via a server that is as close as possible to the website visitor. Cloudflare acts as DNS management for this website with a reverse proxy and integrated CDN. This also includes DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) protection, web application firewall (WAF), SSL/TLS encryption and termination, Cloudflare Analytics for security-related traffic analysis, bot management, caching and compression via the reverse proxy, and traffic routing. Cloudflare also performs security checks such as captcha or JavaScript checks on website visitors' end devices to ensure that they are legitimate users and not bots or malicious actors. This requires processing the user's IP address, system configuration information such as operating system and browser type, traffic routing data, location and language settings, and data about the user's interactions with the website, such as pages viewed and actions taken, logs of activities performed on the website, and metadata. Cookies or cookie-like technologies may be stored and read. These may contain personal data and technical data such as session IDs, bot management tokens, request sequence details, server error information, session data from the waiting room, rate limiting identifiers, and query release tokens.

The data may be used to ensure the security and performance of the website, protect against malicious activity, optimize content delivery, perform IP-to-country lookups to provide region-specific content or optimize performance, monitor and analyze trends in user behavior to identify patterns and improve security measures, and improve the overall functionality and services provided by Cloudflare. Cloudflare provides personal data to its affiliates, trusted service providers, resellers, and distribution partners so that they can process it on its behalf and in accordance with Cloudflare's privacy policy. Data may also be shared within the Cloudflare group, in business transactions, or when required by law. Limited anonymized data may be shared with research partners. 

The legitimate interest in using this service is to ensure the security and performance of the website, protect against malicious activity, and optimize content delivery, including region-specific content through IP-to-country lookups.
