5. Language, design, and technically necessary storage

For convenience features, the website stores your language and design choice. Technically necessary cookies such as lc_lang and lc_theme may be used for this purpose. They are used solely to restore your selection on the next page visit.

This storage is necessary for the requested functionality. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, the legitimate interest in a user-friendly presentation of the website.
