Cookie Policy

What are cookies and comparable storage technologies?

Cookies are small text information that is stored in the browser of the device used when accessing a website. Cookies can be read again during later page visits. They can, for example, be used to maintain a session, save a language setting, or consider a previously made cookie choice.

In addition to cookies, our website may use the local storage of your browser, known as Local Storage. Information stored in Local Storage is not automatically transmitted to the server with every page request like cookies. However, it can be read by the website and used for certain functions.

The legal provisions regarding access to information on the device refer not only to classic cookies but also to comparable technologies such as Local Storage or Session Storage.

2. Legal bases

The storage of information on your device or access to already stored information is carried out in accordance with § 25 TDDDG.

As far as the storage or access is absolutely necessary to provide the website or function you have explicitly requested, the use is based on § 25 Abs. 2 TDDDG.

Optional technologies are only used with your prior consent in accordance with § 25 Abs. 1 TDDDG. If personal data is processed in this context, the legal basis is Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can revoke a granted consent at any time with effect for the future.

Technically required technologies

Technically necessary cookies and storage technologies are used as far as they are necessary to provide our website, the content you access, or a function you explicitly request.

If you block technically necessary cookies or website data through your browser, the login to the customer portal, appointment booking, live chat, language and time zone display, as well as other session-dependent functions may be restricted.

Optional technologies

We only use optional technologies if you have previously consented. A refusal has no impact on general access to our website. Individual optional comfort features may be restricted after a refusal.

Refusing optional technologies is just as possible as consenting to them. Your settings can be changed at any time via the button "Update My Cookie Settings".

The Odoo cookie bar distinguishes by default between required and optional cookies. According to Odoo documentation, optional third-party services are blocked until consent is given.

Odoo describes campaign, medium, and source as UTM parameters used in generated tracking URLs. The link statistics can represent the number of views of such links.

We do not use these parameters for Google Analytics, Google Ads, personalized advertising, or cross-platform user profiles.
