Settings
Essential services and cookies

Technically necessary cookies (essential cookies) enable basic functions and are indispensable for the proper functioning of the homepage. They can be set without consent and therefore cannot be deselected.

DIRO Multisite Cookie

The DIRO Multisite cookie is used to store the settings you have made yourself on this website (e.g. the preferred language) as well as the content of external providers that you have approved. In doing so, under the DIRO_C_FINGERPRINT processing operation, the IDs of the services requiring consent that were present when you last accessed the page, as well as their configuration settings and assignment to categories in the privacy popup (as an encrypted string) are collected and stored. The sole purpose of this data processing is to store the settings made. The storage takes place for one year.

Statistics and usage measurement

Statistics cookies are used by the website operator to understand how users interact with the website by collecting and reporting information anonymously.

Usage measurement with Matomo

We use the website analysis tool Matomo to analyze user behavior and the reach of our website. This sets the cookie "_pk_id". By using Matomo, 2 bytes of your IP address, the website accessed, the referrer website (website from which you reached the website accessed here), the subpages accessed from the website accessed, the time spent on the website and the frequency with which the website is accessed are determined and stored. This serves the sole purpose of obtaining anonymized statistical data on how you use the website. The storage period is 6 months in the case of the cookie pk_ref and 30 minutes in the case of the cookie _pk_ses.

External services

We also offer external services on our website. Here, content from video platforms, social media platforms or other external services is initially blocked by default. If cookies from external media are accepted, access to this content no longer requires individual manual consent.

Video playback with Vimeo

We use the external service Vimeo on our website. This is a video portal of the US company Vimeo.com, Inc., 330 West 34th Street, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10001, USA. By embedding Vimeo videos, cookies are set that collect and then store your IP address, browser type, operating system, click behavior and dwell time, among other things, when you access the video. The storage takes place on servers in the USA, which do not have any data protection laws. For more details, please refer to the information available at https://vimeo.com/privacy.

Geographical maps from OpenStreetMaps

By integrating OpenStreetMaps on our website, we set the cookie "_osm_location". In doing so, your IP address is transmitted to the third-party server of OpenStreetMaps, whereby it learns that you have visited our site. The purpose of this integration is to display addresses on a map that is integrated into the website. The storage period is 1 year.

Appointments with Calenso

We use the external service Calenso on our website. In the course of this, your e-mail address, other contact information, appointment content and data, as well as any additional data you provide in this context are collected and stored. This serves the sole purpose of making appointments and group appointments bookable online. For this purpose, Calenso provides a web application for booking appointments.
