    9. Cookies and right to oppose direct mail
    "Cookies" are small files that are stored on users' computers. Different information can be stored within the cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store the information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after his visit to an online offer. Temporary cookies, or "session cookies" or "transient cookies", are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online service and closes his browser. In such a cookie, e.g. the contents of a shopping cart are stored in an online store or a login jam. The term "permanent" or "persistent" refers to cookies that remain stored even after the browser has been closed. Thus, e.g. the login status will be saved if users visit it after several days. Likewise, in such a cookie the interests of the users can be stored, which are used for range measurement or marketing purposes. A "third-party cookie" refers to cookies that are offered by providers other than the responsible person who manages the online offer (otherwise, if it is only their cookies, this is called "first-party cookies"). We can use temporary and permanent cookies and clarify this in the context of our privacy policy. If users do not want cookies stored on their computer, they will be asked to deactivate the option in their browser's system settings. Saved cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online offer. A general contradiction to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be explained in a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by switching them off in the settings of the browser. Please note that not all features of this online offer may be used then.

    10. Deletion of data
    The data processed by us are deleted or limited in their processing in accordance with Articles 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless explicitly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory storage requirements. Unless the data is deleted because it is required for other and legitimate purposes, its processing will be restricted, i.e. the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example for data that must be kept for commercial or tax reasons. According to legal requirements in Germany, the storage takes place in particular for 10 years according to §§ 147 paragraph 1 AO, 257 paragraph 1 no. 1 and 4, paragraph 4 German Commercial Code (books, records, management reports, accounting documents, trading books, relevant for taxation documents etc.) and 6 years in accordance with § 257 paragraph 1 no. 2 and 3, paragraph 4 German Commercial Code (commercial letters). According to legal regulations in Austria the storage takes place especially for 7 years according to § 132 paragraph 1 BAO (accounting documents, receipts / invoices, accounts, receipts, business papers, statement of income and expenses etc.), for 22 years in connection with real estate and for 10 years in the case of documents relating to electronically supplied services, telecommunication, broadcasting and television services provided to non-entrepreneurs in EU member states and for which the Mini-One-Stop-Shop (MOSS) is used.
