Cookie policy.

This translation is provided for your convenience. Only the German version is legally binding.

This cookie policy explains which cookies and comparable storage technologies we use on our websites, what we use them for, how long they are stored and how you can change your choice. Our privacy policy also applies.

01What are cookies and local storage?

Cookies are small text files that your browser stores when you visit a website. Entries in your browser’s local storage are comparable. Both can retain information beyond your visit, such as your privacy choice or a selected display mode.

We use technically necessary storage without separate consent under § 165 (3) TKG 2021 (Austrian Telecommunications Act), insofar as it is strictly necessary for the function you have expressly requested. We only use all other storage and analytics functions after your active consent.

02Your choice and withdrawal

On your first visit we ask whether you allow Vercel Web Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. "Necessary only" is just as easy as "Accept all". No analytics functions are loaded before you decide. If you decline, you can use the website and all forms without restriction.

You can change your choice at any time via the privacy settings at the bottom of every page or the following button, and withdraw consents you have given with effect for the future. After a withdrawal, we remove the cookies set by Microsoft Clarity and reload the page without analytics functions. After twelve months we ask you again.

04Statistics: Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights

With your consent we use Vercel Web Analytics from Vercel Inc., USA, to evaluate the reach and use of our public information pages. According to the provider, the service does not use cookies. To distinguish visits statistically, a time-limited hash identifier is formed from data of the incoming request, which according to Vercel is discarded after 24 hours. With the same consent, Vercel Speed Insights measures page loading times (Web Vitals) together with the page address, device type and browser, also without cookies.

We do not transmit form texts or email addresses. We remove query parameters in addresses, such as confirmation tokens, before transmission; confirmation and sign-in pages are excluded. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. More details in section 8 of the privacy policy.

05Usage analysis: Microsoft Clarity

With your consent we use Microsoft Clarity from Microsoft Corporation, USA. The service creates heatmaps and reconstructions of website sessions so that we can improve usability. We use strict masking and exclude form areas as well as confirmation and sign-in pages. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR in conjunction with § 165 (3) TKG 2021. More details in section 9 of the privacy policy.
