Google Maps (Click-to-Load)

On our contact page (/en/contact) we show our location via a Google Maps view. Additionally, on /en/tour we offer a virtual 360° tour via Google Street View. Both services are provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Important: The map / tour is loaded only after your explicit consent. Only when you click the "Show map" or "Start tour" button is a connection to Google servers established. At that point, technical data — including your IP address, browser and device information, and the page visited — is transmitted to Google. Google may forward this data to third countries, especially the United States.

No data is transferred to Google before your consent.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). You may revoke your consent at any time by closing or leaving the page.

Local Storage

Our website uses your browser's local storage for a single technical function:

  • Dismissed notifications: when you dismiss our "We are hiring" notice, we remember this for 7 days so the notice doesn't reappear.

This data is stored only locally in your browser and is never transmitted to us or to third parties. You can delete this data at any time via your browser settings.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in functionality and comfort).
