Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as the cookies are processed on the basis of consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, this consent is also deemed to be consent within the meaning of Section 25 para. 1 TTDSG for the setting of the cookie on the user’s terminal device. Insofar as another legal basis is mentioned according to the GDPR (e.g. for the fulfilment of a contract or for the fulfilment of legal obligations), the storage or setting takes place on the basis of an exception according to Section 25 (2) TTDSG. This is the case “if the sole purpose of storing information in the end user’s terminal equipment or the sole purpose of accessing information already stored in the end user’s terminal equipment is to carry out the transmission of a message via a public telecommunications network” or “where the storage of information in the end-user’s terminal equipment or the access to information already stored in the end-user’s terminal equipment is strictly necessary to enable the provider of a telemedia service to provide a telemedia service explicitly requested by the user”. Which legal basis is relevant can be seen from the cookie table listed later in this point.

Your personal data is protected by technical and organisational measures during collection, storage and processing so that it is not accessible to third parties.
