If you exercise your right to object, we will stop processing your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for continuing its processing that outweigh your rights.

· Opting out of cookies: You can also opt out of the use of cookies at any time. If you would like to opt out of the use of certain cookies, please take note of our statements under Sec. 5.

· Revoking your consent (Art. 7 GDPR): Insofar as you have granted us consent to process your data, you can revoke this at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of processing your data based on a previously granted consent remains unaffected until you revoke it.
