We will then review the automated decision in accordance with Article 22 (3) of the GDPR in the specific individual case.

What personal data is collected and to what extent is it processed?
We integrate and use cookies on various pages to enable certain functions of our website and to integrate external web services. The so-called “cookies” are small text files that your browser can store on your access device. These text files contain a characteristic string that uniquely identifies the browser when you return to our website. The process of saving a cookie file is also referred to as “setting a cookie”. Cookies can be set both by the website itself and by external web services. Cookies are set by our website or external web services in order to maintain the full functionality of our website, to improve the user experience or to pursue the purpose stated with your consent. Cookie technology also allows us to recognise individual visitors by pseudonyms, e.g. a unique or random ID, so that we can provide more personalised services. Details are shown in the table below.

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 TDDDG for the setting of the cookie on the user’s terminal device. Insofar as another legal basis is stated in accordance with the GDPR (e.g. to fulfil a contract or to fulfil legal obligations), the storage or setting is based on an exception in accordance with Section 25 (2) TDDDG. 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 communication over a public telecommunications network” or “where the storage of information in the end-user’s terminal equipment or 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”. The relevant legal basis can be found in the cookie table listed later in this section.
