We use cookies and log-files for the functioning of our website. In the course of your use of our website, we collect and process the following data: IP address and IP location, referrer URL, number, duration and time of views of your interactions with the website, search engines and keywords you used to find us, information about browser type, device type, screen resolution, internet service provider and operating system. We collect this data automatically with cookies (provided by third parties) based on your consent pursuant to Art 6 (1) lit a GDPR (or in conjunction with Section 96 (3) Austrian Telecommunication Act in the case of so-called “persistent” cookies, which are stored on your device).

You can refuse the storage of individual cookies via configuration in the cookie banner or you may withdraw your consent to storage at a later time via configuration of your browser. When cookies are stored on the basis of your voluntary consent, your data may be transferred to recipients in third countries outside the EEA, in particular to the US. The European Court of Justice, however, considers that the US does not offer an adequate level of data protection to data subjects; in particular, there is a potential risk that your data may be viewed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes. With your consent, you agree that cookies from third-party providers in the US or from other insecure third countries may be used and you accept a possible lower level of data protection (Art 49 (1) lit a GDPR).

Cookies that are absolutely necessary for the structure or functioning of the website (technically necessary cookies) cannot be deactivated. If this involves data, the processing is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art 6 (1) lit f GDPR to ensure the functionality of the website. For further information on the cookies we use see our Cookie Information below.
