Cookies, which are required for the performance of electronic communication transactions, for the provision of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are necessary for the optimization (required cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies that provide measurable insights into the web audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited.

There is no adequacy decision for the USA pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, as the USA cannot provide protection of personal data comparable to that of the GDPR.
