Cookie Policy

1. Introduction and scope

This Cookie Policy was last updated on the date shown at the top of this document and applies to users of this website in the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland.

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. For simplicity, these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies" in this policy. Cookies may be set by us or by third parties whose services we use on our website. Optional technologies are not activated merely because they are technically available; where consent is required, they are activated only after the appropriate consent has been given. The specific list of services is kept in line with the services actually used on this website.

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?

A cookie is a small file or data record that a website or embedded service can store in a user's browser or device and read again during a later visit.

In addition to traditional cookies, technologies such as Local Storage, Session Storage, technical identifiers, scripts, pixels, measurement requests, embedded videos, maps and comparable technologies may be used. They may serve security, session management, cart and checkout functions, storage of preferences, analytics, campaign measurement or the delivery of external content.

3. Categories and legal basis

Technologies are grouped according to their primary purpose. Necessary or functional operations enable the secure basic operation of the website or a function you have explicitly requested. Analytics technologies help us understand how the website is used. Marketing and tracking technologies may be used for campaign or conversion measurement and other advertising purposes. External media enable content from third-party providers to be displayed.

The storage of information on terminal equipment or access to that information is governed by the applicable electronic communications rules. Optional technologies are generally activated only after prior, informed and freely given consent. Where personal data are processed on the basis of consent, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR also applies. Consent can be changed or withdrawn at any time with effect for the future. Cookies and comparable access to terminal equipment that are not technically necessary are activated only after the appropriate consent has been given. Technically necessary operations remain unaffected. The controller has configured Austria as this website’s legal jurisdiction. In addition to the GDPR and EU electronic-privacy rules, the use of cookies and similar technologies is therefore assessed under the applicable Austrian framework, including section 165 TKG 2021 and the Austrian Data Protection Act.

6. Cookies, technologies and services used

7. Providers and third-country transfers

Individual technologies may be provided directly by the controller or by external providers. Where an external provider is used for a service, its details are shown in the service information where available. The same applies to relevant domains, cookies, web storage, retention periods and information about possible access or transfers outside the EEA.

Where personal data are transferred to a third country, there must be a permissible legal basis and a safeguard under Chapter V GDPR, such as an adequacy decision by the European Commission, Standard Contractual Clauses or another permitted mechanism. The actual scope depends on the specific service, its configuration, the provider and your consent.

8. Retention periods

Cookies and similar technologies may have different lifetimes. Some entries exist only for the current session and are deleted afterwards, while others may remain stored for a defined period or until they are manually deleted.

Where the retention period of a technology is known, it is shown in the details of the relevant service. If the actual duration depends on provider, browser or website settings, this is indicated accordingly.

9. Browser settings and deleting cookies

Most browsers allow you to view, restrict or delete cookies and other locally stored data. You can delete existing cookies, restrict third-party cookies or prevent new cookies from being stored.

If you delete the saved privacy or consent settings in your browser, the website may no longer know your previous choices and may ask you again on your next visit. If you also block technically necessary technologies, some website functions — particularly login, cart, checkout or preference storage — may work only partially or not at all.

10. Withdrawing consent and your rights

You can change or withdraw consent for optional technologies at any time with effect for the future. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn. You can reopen the privacy settings on the website at any time.

Where the use of cookies or related services involves the processing of personal data, you may, depending on the applicable legal basis, have rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection and the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

11. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this policy if the technologies or services used, their purposes, providers, retention periods, website configuration, consent management or applicable legal requirements change. The date of the latest update is shown at the top of this document.

Individual service details may be updated when the services actually used on this website change. The published version of this policy is always authoritative.
