Among other things, this allows the evaluation of movement patterns (so-called heatmaps), which show the duration of page visits as well as interactions with page content (e.g., text entries, scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs).

With the use of the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded when the respective user has given corresponding consents by setting a checkmark. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user’s device if consent is granted. The tool technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed here. In individual cases, however, for the purpose of storing, assigning, or documenting cookie settings, personal data (such as IP address) may be processed. This is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies, and therefore, a legally compliant design of our website.

If there are legal retention periods for data that is processed within the framework of contractual or similar obligations based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract, and/or if we do not have a legitimate interest in further storage. When personal data is processed for the purpose of direct advertising based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR. Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this statement on specific processing situations, stored personal data will be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.”
