(2) Cookies that are stored in association with your web browser:

  • Transient cookies: these cookies are automatically deleted when you close your web browser. These include, in particular, session cookies.

(3) The processing of personal data by the aforementioned cookies serves to make the offer of our website as a whole more user-friendly and effective for you.

These service providers are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored by us. Insofar as personal data is passed on to third parties in the course of services which we offer jointly with partners, you can find more detailed information in the following descriptions of the individual services. If these third parties are based in a country outside the European Economic Area, you can find more detailed information about the consequences of this circumstance in the following descriptions of the individual services.

Insofar as you have given us consent for this, the legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDRP. Otherwise, the legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDRP, in particular in the event that the data is transmitted to us by you by sending us an e-mail.

Otherwise, the application procedure ends with the receipt of a rejection. In this case the data will be deleted after nach drei Monaten. Deletion does not take place if further processing and storage of your personal data is necessary in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. In this case, we have a legitimate interest in the further processing and storage of your personal data. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDRP.
