7) Tools and Miscellaneous
7.1 Cookie Consent Tool
This website uses a so-called "Cookie Consent Tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies requiring consent and cookie-based applications. The "Cookie Consent Tool" is displayed to users when the page is accessed in the form of an interactive user interface, on which consent can be given for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications by ticking the relevant boxes. By using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user has given the corresponding consent by ticking the boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the respective user's device if consent has been given.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. As a rule, no personal user data is processed in this context.
If, in individual cases, personal data (such as an IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.
A further legal basis for processing is also Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. As controllers, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically non-essential cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.
Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.
Further information about the operator and the setting options of the Cookie Consent Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

If statutory retention periods exist for data that is processed in the context of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, this data is routinely deleted after the retention periods expire, provided it is no longer necessary for the performance or initiation of a contract and/or there is no longer a legitimate interest on our part in continued storage.
