4.3 Use of the Consent Tool “Pressidium Cookie Consent”
We use the consent tool “Pressidium Cookie Consent” to manage the cookies and similar technologies used on our website (e.g. tracking pixels, tags) and the related consents. The tool displays a banner to obtain consent, controls the loading of non-essential scripts, and stores your preferences. Your consent decision is saved in a cookie on your device and—if configured—in a server-side log so that we can document your consent and its status.
Categories of data processed: consent decision per category (e.g. analytics), timestamp, language/region, technical metadata (e.g. pseudonymous identifier, browser information); no usage profiling is performed based on this data.
Legal bases: Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR (compliance with a legal obligation to obtain/manage consent) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in documenting consents and controlling cookies/scripts).
Recipients / processing location: The tool is operated by us on our website. Our hosting/service providers act as processors under Art. 28 GDPR. We do not otherwise disclose consent data to third parties. Where data is processed outside the EEA, appropriate safeguards (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place.
Storage period: The consent cookie is stored for 182 days (unless you delete it earlier). Server-side consent logs are retained for up to 24 months (or longer if required to demonstrate compliance) and then deleted or anonymised.
Voluntary provision & withdrawal: You are not legally or contractually obliged to provide personal data for this purpose. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time with effect for the future via the Cookie Settings (floating button). The lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal remains unaffected.
