Cookies are small text files that are temporarily stored on your terminal device with the help of the browser and/or that your browser saves. In addition, you will find plug-ins from third-party providers on our Website, through which the Website is equipped with additional functionalities. When you visit our Website, these plug-ins are deactivated by default, so they do not send any Data to third parties without any action on your part.

The collection of your Data in connection with cookies, analysis tools and plug-ins is based on your consent pursuant to Article 6 para 1 lit a GDPR (or in connection with Section 165 para 3 Austrian Telecommunications Act, “TKG”) in the case of so-called "persistent"cookies, which are stored on the end device of the Website visitor).

You can revoke any consent you may have given to the use of cookies and analysis tools and to the activation of plug-ins at a later time with effect for the future at any time by means of configuration in the cookie banner (accessible via the button located at the bottom right edge of the screen) or alternatively via your browser settings.

When cookies are set or when analysis tools are used and plug-ins are activated on the basis of voluntary consent, your Data is sometimes transferred to recipients in third countries outside the EEA, in particular to the USA. The USA is not certified by the European Court of Justice as having an adequate level of data protection; in particular, there is a risk that Data may be viewed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes. By giving your consent, you agree that cookies and analysis tools from third-party providers in the USA or from other insecure third countries may be used and accept a possible lower level of data protection (Article 49 para 1 lit a GDPR).

In these cases, the Data processing is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6 para 1 lit f GDPR to be able to provide our Website in an appropriately functional manner.

On our Website you will find external links that lead to websites of social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn). The external links are displayed on the Website as a button with the logo and name of the respective social media service. When you visit our Website, these buttons do not send any Data to third parties without any action on your part.

When you click on a social media button, you will be redirected to the website of a third party (the respective social media service provider).

The social media service providers use their own cookies and process your Data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We recommend that you check the respective privacy statements before voluntarily providing Data to these providers.

In this context, please note that clicking on the external links may result in your Data being transferred to and processed in third countries outside the EEA, in particular the USA. The European Court of Justice has not certified an adequate level of data protection in the USA; in particular, there is a risk that Data may be viewed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes.
