Addition to the privacy policy

This cookie policy is a supplement to Privacy Policy of this website. 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 end device. They serve various purposes, including maintaining basic functionalities of the website, security and privacy, providing optional functions of the website, collecting statistic data on visitor flows and providing marketing systems. Practical examples of what can be stored in cookies are the storage of login status in user accounts, the content of shopping baskets in e-commerce platforms, or a user ID for tracking behavior on the website.

The information can technically be stored in various ways. The best-known examples of this are HTTP cookies and cookie-like technologies like local storage, session storage or IndexedDB. Each type of storage has different properties, which determine the technical handling, accessibility and controllers authorized to access the information. All these types of storage are usually summarized under the term "cookies" and are therefore called as such in this cookie policy.

What is the legal basis for setting/reading cookies?

The placement and reading of cookies in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) is only permitted under §25 TDDDG (Germany) and §165 TKG (Austria) if a user has given 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 the user, with the explicitly requested service—for example, the basic content of this website or other strictly necessary cookies for essential website functions that are displayed to you without your consent.
