1. What are cookies, what are pixels?
Cookies are small text files that your browser stores on your device to store certain information. The next time you visit our website using the same device, the information stored in the cookie is subsequently sent back either to our website ("first-party cookie") or to another website to which the cookie belongs ("third-party cookie").
Through the stored and returned information, the respective website recognizes that you have already accessed and visited it using the browser on your device. We use this information to optimally design and display the website according to your preferences. Only the cookie itself is identified on your device. Any further storage of personal data only occurs with your express consent or if it is absolutely necessary to use the service offered and accessed by you.
Pixels (also called tracking pixels, pixel tags, or web beacons) are tiny, usually invisible 1x1 pixel graphics embedded in the HTML code of websites or online advertisements, which in turn create cookies. When you use the website, pixels collect certain data from you, such as which web pages you visit and which ads you click on.
2. Transfer of personal data to the US
Cookies that are not strictly necessary to provide you with the services on our website will only be used with your consent. Some of these consent-based cookies are also offered by companies that process data in the USA (e.g., Google Ireland Ltd. through its data processor Google LLC).
The lawful data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission's adequacy decision of July 10, 2023, on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR. The decision stipulates that the United States ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the EU to US companies that have acceded to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Therefore, no additional data protection safeguards are required for transfers to participating US companies.
All US companies that have joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework can be found in the official Data Privacy Framework list. Further information and questions and answers about the EU-US Data Privacy Framework can be found on the EU Commission website.
