8) Tools and Miscellaneous

8.1 Cookie Consent Tool This website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "cookie consent tool" is displayed to users when the page is called up in the form of an interactive user interface, on which consents for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by checking boxes. Through the use of the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user has given their consent by checking the box. 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 store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed. If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this is done 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.
