We use certain tools to enable the basic functions of our website (“essential tools”). Without these tools, we would not be able to offer our service.

These tools include the cookies listed below.2.1 Real Cookie Banner
Our website uses Real Cookie Banner, a service provided by devowl.io GmbH, Tannet 12, 94539 Grafling, Germany (“Real Cookie Banner”). Real Cookie Banner asks website visitors for their consent to set cookies and process personal data. For this purpose, each website visitor is assigned a UUID (pseudonymous identification of the user), which is valid until the cookie expires in order to save the consent. Cookies are used to test whether cookies can be set, to store the reference to the documented consent, to store for which services from which service groups the visitor has given consent and, if consent has been obtained in accordance with the Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF), to store the consent to TCF partners, purposes, special purposes, functions and special functions. As part of the disclosure obligation under the GDPR, the consent obtained is fully documented. In addition to the services and service groups to which the visitor has consented and, if consent was obtained according to the TCF standard, to which TCF partners, purposes and functions the visitor has consented, this also includes all cookie banner settings at the time of consent as well as the technical circumstances (e.g. size of the displayed area at the time of consent) and the user interactions (e.g. clicking on buttons) that led to consent. This tool uses the following cookies:- real_cookie_banner-* (storage period: 1 year): The cookie stores the UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) of the website visitor’s consent. In addition, a revision hash is stored, which makes it possible to trace which settings (texts, colours, functions, service groups, services, content blockers, etc.) were used at the time consent was given to display the cookie banner. In addition, the cookie stores which services from which category the visitor has consented to.
