5. Legal Basis for Cookie Processing

- Strictly necessary cookies are processed based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional and secure Website (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
- Analytics and marketing cookies are processed based on your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)), which you provide through our cookie consent banner or cookie settings panel.
You may withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies at any time by adjusting your preferences through the cookie settings panel accessible from our Website footer or by clearing cookies through your browser settings.

7. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our Website may be set by third-party service providers that assist us with analytics, content delivery, or other functions. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies governing how they use the data collected. We require our third-party providers to comply with applicable data protection laws and to process data only according to our instructions.
Third-party services that may set cookies include analytics platforms and content delivery networks. We review our third-party providers regularly to ensure they maintain adequate data protection standards.

9. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Our Website currently does not respond to DNT signals because there is no industry-wide standard for DNT compliance. However, you can use our cookie consent tools and browser settings to control tracking as described above.
