On our website, we use—pursuant to Article 6(1) sentence 1 letter f of the GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests—so‑called “essential” cookies that are indispensable for the technical display of the website. By clicking on [“Allow only technically necessary services/cookies” | “Accept selection” | “Reject all” | etc.], only these cookies will be set. Other cookies and third‑party content (e.g., YouTube videos or Google Maps), particularly for the purposes of statistical analysis and tracking (for marketing purposes), will only be set with your explicit and voluntary consent in accordance with Article 6(1) sentence 1 letter a of the GDPR in conjunction with Article 7 GDPR, through the corresponding active, individual selection via [“Information and Settings” | “Manage Cookie Settings” | etc.] or by clicking on [“Allow all services/cookies” | “Accept all”].

This includes the transmission and processing of your personal data in third countries, particularly [the USA], for which no adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45(3) of the GDPR exists and no appropriate safeguards under Article 46 GDPR are in place. The USA is regarded as a country with a data protection level that is insufficient according to EU standards. Your data could be processed by US authorities, among other things, for purposes of control and surveillance. In doing so, the possibilities for legal remedy as well as your rights and freedoms under the GDPR may be significantly restricted. The restrictions on your rights and freedoms regarding the protection of personal data in the USA far exceed what is required in a democratic society and do not actually correspond to the objectives serving the common good recognized by the Union or to the requirements for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others. [You will generally only be able to assert legal claims against such unlawful processing of your personal data with difficulty or insufficiently.]

You can continuously adjust and supplement the cookies that have been set. This is possible—even up to the revocation of your consent at any time in accordance with Article 7(3) GDPR with effect for the future (i.e., “ex nunc”)—simply on our website [via the “Fingerprint” button in the lower left corner, or in the footer by following the link to the cookie settings under “EDIT COOKIES”]. For further details [– including the risks associated with a transfer of your personal data to a third country –] please refer to [our privacy notices | our privacy policy].
