Cookies

The website uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause damage on your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve the purpose of making our website user-friendly, effective and safer. Cookies are small text files which your internet browser files and stores on your computer. There are primarily two types of cookies:
  • First party cookies are cookies that are served directly by the website operator to your computer, and are often used to recognise your computer when it revisits that site and to remember your preferences as you browse the site. Basically, these are our cookies.
  • Third party cookies are served by a service provider on behalf of the website operator, and can be used by the service provider to recognise your computer when you visit other websites. Third party cookies are most commonly used for website analytics or advertising purposes, that this websites also uses as it is specified in this privacy policy.
Our website manages essential first-party cookies with the help of a plug-in named Cookie Notice for GDPR & CCPA. While using our website, you are given the option to refuse third-party non-functional cookies or revoke your consent if you choose to accept them at any point. The storage of the data of the functional cookies in both cases, accepted and refused, is set to one month and its deletion is managed by the plug-in. You can set your browser to inform you before setting new cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, to reject cookies for certain cases or to reject them in general as well as activating the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Cookies that are necessary for the performance of the electronic communication process are stored on the base of Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The operator of this website has legitimate interest in storing cookies to enable the error-free and optimized provision of his services. Just Access does not govern the publication of third-party cookies. Please visit the relevant third parties’ website if you want to understand more about them.

Inquiry via e-mail and telephone

If you contact us by e-mail or telephone, your inquiry as well as all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be saved and processed for the purpose of your inquiry. We do not pass on this data without your consent. This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and / or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us. The data sent to us by you via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
