This document informs users about the technologies this application uses to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies enable access to or storage of information (e.g., through the use of Cookies) on the user’s device or the use of the device’s data processing capabilities when the user accesses or runs this application.
For simplicity, such technologies are defined as “Trackers” within this document, unless there is a reason to differentiate. For example, while Cookies can be used in both web and mobile browsers, they are not applicable as browser-based trackers in mobile apps. Therefore, the term Cookie is only used in this document when specifically referring to that type of tracker.
Some of the processing purposes for which Trackers are used require the user’s consent. If consent is granted, it can be freely withdrawn at any time following the procedure described in this document.
This application uses its own trackers (so-called “first-party trackers”) and third-party trackers in connection with services provided by third parties (so-called “third-party trackers”). Unless otherwise stated within this document, such third parties also have access to the trackers they manage.
The validity and expiration of Cookies and other similar trackers depend on the lifetime set by the provider or the respective third-party provider. Some of these expire as soon as the user ends the browser session. For more detailed and up-to-date information on the lifetime and other information – such as regarding the use of further trackers – users are referred to the descriptions of the categories listed below, as well as the linked privacy policies of the respective third-party providers, or to contact the provider.
