Legitimate Interest

For certain processing activities, the consent of the data subject is not required.

Consent of the Data Subject

In all cases where user consent is required for processing, it must be informed, free, and unconditional.

For consent to be valid, the data subject must have reached the age of majority.

Processing Methods

The majority of data subject to processing (log files and cookies) are processed using computer tools in a predominantly automated manner with techniques and measures to minimize, as much as possible, human intervention.
