COOKIES
Cookies are small text files that are stored by the server in your browser (e.g., Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc.). They can only be read by the server that set them. Cookies cannot cause any harm to your computer, as they are passive text files that cannot contain viruses or malware. Through the cookies we set on our site, we cannot identify individuals but can only perform quantitative analyses. You can check on your computer which cookies you have stored and manage the handling of cookies yourself.

Additionally or alternatively, you can use browser add-ons such as Ghostery (for all common browsers), Disconnect, or NoScript (for Mozilla). These tools provide transparency about the types of trackers placed on each visited website and allow you to individually allow or prevent them
If you delete or block cookies, you may not be able to use all functions of websites (e.g., preferences and language settings).

GOOGLE ANALYTICS COOKIES
Google Analytics collects the number of users and their usage behavior on our website and sends this information to a server in the USA, where it is stored. This information can subsequently be used for reports that provide us with insights into the efficiency of our web strategy. With IP anonymization on our website, however, your IP address is shortened before transmission and is therefore not directly traceable to you. You can find more details about the handling of this data in the Google Privacy Policy.
Legal basis: Legitimate interest – The analysis of the visitor statistics of our website serves to optimize our content offering for our visitors. We use Google Analytics to measure which of our website contents are accessed for how long, from which countries and cities the users come, and with which devices and browsers (e.g., iPhone, Android, Firefox, Chrome) they access the website. This is valuable information for us to learn which content is well-received and which devices and browsers our site is preferably used with.
Retention periods: The cookies set by Google Analytics are generally stored permanently.
Recipients: The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We have activated IP anonymization for Google Analytics. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
Opt-out option: You are free to install the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics to prevent your data from being processed. Alternatively, you can also use the options mentioned under “Block third-party cookies” to block cookies and trackers
CONTACT INFORMATION IN BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS – B2B
In the course of initiating and handling business transactions with our customers, we store contact data, contract data, order data, billing data, and correspondence.
Legal basis: For existing customers, processing is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or pre-contractual measures. For potential customers, we rely on the legal basis of legitimate interest in business initiation.
In the context of billing services, we are obliged to retain the data for the purposes of tax calculation and correction as well as our accounting obligations, according to the Federal Fiscal Code (BAO), the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB), and the Value Added Tax Act (UStG). Without providing your data, we cannot fulfill our obligations.
Retention periods: We store the data of existing customers as long as the business relationship is active. After termination, we retain contact data for a maximum of three years. All billing data is retained according to the legally prescribed retention periods (usually for 7 years) and then deleted or anonymized.
