3. Use of the Complianz Plugin

Our website uses the WordPress plugin Complianz by Complianz B.V., a company based in the Netherlands. This tool helps us manage cookie consent in a legally compliant way and display a cookie banner in accordance with GDPR and TDDDG.

When you use our website, Complianz collects and stores the following information:

  • Timestamp of consent
  • ControllerID
  • ProcessorID
  • User’s browser and device information

These data are necessary to document user consent in a verifiable manner. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR, as we are legally obliged to obtain and store user consent in accordance with the GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG.

Please note: Complianz does not process any personal data itself and does not act as a processor, as the plugin runs locally on our server. Therefore, no Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Complianz is required.

Users can prevent cookies from being stored at any time by configuring their browser settings accordingly. Please note, however, that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.
