5. Cookies & consent

This website uses cookies and similar technologies. A cookie is a small text file that is stored in the browser of your device.

We distinguish between:

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for the basic operation of the website (e.g. saving your cookie preferences). No consent is required for these.
• Statistics and marketing cookies — only set if you give explicit consent via the cookie banner. You can withdraw consent at any time via "Cookie settings" in the footer.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent) for non-essential cookies; Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest) for strictly necessary cookies.

6. Google AdSense (advertising)

This website may include advertising via Google AdSense (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to display ads, including personalized ads.

Loading and execution of AdSense scripts only happens after you have given consent for marketing cookies via the cookie banner. Without consent, no AdSense scripts are loaded and no advertising data is collected.

Information transferred to Google may include your IP address, browsing behavior on this site, and ad-interaction data. Google may also combine this data with other information from your Google account.

10. Data transfer to third countries

Some embedded services (Google AdSense, Google Analytics) may transfer data to the United States. Such transfers are based on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and Google's certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
