Strictly Necessary Cookies

If the data processed by means of strictly necessary cookies is to be considered personal data, G+D's legitimate interest in operating the website constitutes the legal basis for processing this data (Art. 6 para.1 lit. f GDPR).

With these cookies, the website is able to provide advanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third parties whose services we use on our sites. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
If the data processed by means of functional cookies is to be regarded as personal data, your consent – if given – constitutes the legal basis for the processing of this data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so that we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us answer questions about which pages are the most popular, which are the least used, and how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not be able to know when you visited our website.
Insofar as the data processed by means of performance cookies is to be considered personal, your consent – if given – constitutes the legal basis for the processing of this data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).

If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. However, the amount of advertising shown to you will not change.
