Cookies that have already been stored can also be deleted in the system settings of your browser. We would like to point out that deactivating or deleting cookies may result in you not being able to use all the functions of this website.

Additional cookies / technical tools

If you consent to this in the cookie selection of the Borlabs Consent Tool, we also use other cookies and comparable technical tools in accordance with Art. 6 par. 1 lit. a GDPR, which are presented below.

You can revoke your consent via the Consent Tool at any time with effect for the future. The Consent Tool can be accessed via the fingerprint icon at the bottom left of the website or via the “Change cookie/data protection settings” link integrated in the footer of the website.

We use the Vimeo service to display the videos contained on our website. The operator of the service is Vimeo LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data that takes place in this context is Art. 6 par. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent).

When accessing our website, you have the option to consent to data processing via Vimeo using the Consent Tool. If you do not give your consent, you will be shown information in the display area of the video about the processing of your data that will occur if you start a video. You can access a video only when you have consented to the data processing by clicking on the information. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future via the Consent Tool. The Consent Tool can be started for this purpose via the fingerprint symbol displayed at the bottom left of the website or the “Change cookie/data protection settings” link integrated in the footer of the website.

The data processing is essentially carried out by Vimeo. When accessing the embedded videos, your browser connects to the Vimeo servers and data is transmitted, for example, in the form of the IP address and technical information about the type of browser used and the operating system of the accessing device. Furthermore, Vimeo stores information on which website the Vimeo service is used and which actions (web activities) are carried out on the website (for example, session duration and bounce rate). This data is collected, stored and processed on the Vimeo servers regardless of whether you have a personal Vimeo account.

A transfer to Vimeo contractual partners as well as a data transfer to Vimeo servers in the USA cannot be excluded on our part.

In the case of data processing that takes place in the USA, there is a risk that an appropriate level of protection for the processing of personal data in accordance with European law pursuant to the GDPR cannot be consistently ensured. Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that, due to laws applicable in the USA, access to personal data processed by the service provider may also be granted to US government agencies.
