If you wish to prevent the use of web beacons in our marketing emails, you can set your email program settings to not display HTML in messages. You can find information on how to do this in the help section of your email program. Please note, however, that disabling HTML display in messages may result in many emails no longer being displayed as expected, as most modern emails use HTML to display content and design. This can significantly impair the readability and appearance of the emails.

Your data protection rights remain unaffected.
