§ 6 Processing of data from your end devices (“Cookie-Policy“)

(1) In addition to the above-mentioned data, we use technical aids for various functions when you use our website, in particular cookies, which may be stored on your end device. When you access our website and at any time thereafter, you have the choice of whether you generally allow cookies to be set or which individual additional functions you would like to select. You can make changes in your browser settings or via our Consent Manager. In the following, we first describe cookies from a technical perspective (2), before going into more detail about your individual choices by describing technically necessary cookies (3) and cookies that you can voluntarily select or deselect (4).

2) Cookies are text files or information in a database that are stored on your hard disk and assigned to the browser you are using so that certain information can flow to the body that sets the cookie. Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer viruses to your computer, but are primarily used to make the website faster and more user-friendly. This website uses the following types of cookies, whose function and legal basis are explained below:

• • Transient cookies: Such cookies, especially session cookies, are automatically deleted when the browser is closed or by logging out. They contain a so-called session ID. In this way, various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session and your computer can be recognized when you return to our website.
  • Persistent cookies: These are automatically deleted after a specified period, which varies depending on the cookie. You can view the cookies that have been set and their duration at any time in your browser settings and delete them manually.

(3) Mandatory functions that are technically necessary to display the website: The technical structure of the website requires us to use technologies, in particular cookies. Without these technologies, our website cannot be displayed (completely correctly) or the support functions could not be enabled. These are basically transient cookies that are deleted at the end of your visit to the website, at the latest when you close your browser. You cannot deselect these cookies if you wish to use our website. The individual cookies can be seen in the Consent Manager. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

(4) Optional cookies if you give your consent: We only set various cookies with your consent, which you can select on your first visit to our website via the so-called cookie consent tool. The functions are only activated with your consent and may be used in particular to enable us to analyze and improve visits to our website, to make it easier for you to use our website via different browsers or end devices, to recognize you when you visit our website or to place advertising (possibly also to tailor advertising to your interests, measure the effectiveness of advertisements or show interest-based advertising). The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

§ 7 Newsletter

(1) You can subscribe to our newsletter, which we use to inform you about news and projects, as well as our partnerships and industry news, by giving your consent.

(2) We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to register for our newsletter. This means that after your registration we will send you an e-mail to the specified e-mail address in which we ask you to confirm that you are the owner of the specified e-mail address and that you wish to receive the notifications. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we store the IP addresses you use and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.

(3) The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further, separately marked data is voluntary and is used to be able to address you personally. After your confirmation, we will save your e-mail address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR.

(4) You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can declare your revocation by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter e-mail or by sending a message to the contact details given in the imprint.

(5) We evaluate your user behavior when sending the newsletter. For this analysis, the emails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are one-pixel image files stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the data mentioned above in § 3 and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. The information about your user behavior is collected exclusively in pseudonymized form, i.e. the IDs are not linked to your other personal data, and direct personal references are excluded.

You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in each e-mail or by informing us via another contact method as described above. The information will be stored for as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we store the data purely statistically and anonymously.

(6) The technical dispatch of our newsletter takes place via Mailchimp. Mailchimp provides email marketing services, automates marketing processes, collects, stores and manages contact data, measures the performance of campaigns, analyses the user behaviour of recipients and enables the personalization of content. The service provider of Mailchimp is Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA(https://mailchimp.com). The legal basis for the use of Mailchimp is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the efficient and trouble-free processing of the newsletter. Mailchimp’s privacy policy and data processing agreement can be found here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/. The basis for third country transfers is the Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information on special safety measures can be found here: https://mailchimp.com/de/help/mailchimp-european-data-transfers/.

(2) We operate Matomo in a version that does not require cookies. This means that no Matomo cookies are stored on your computer for the purpose of web analysis. To analyze website usage, your IP address and information such as timestamps, websites visited and your language settings are recorded. We store the information collected in this way on our server.
