Cookies

The website uses cookies on some of its pages. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, more efficient and more secure. Cookies are small text files placed on your computer and stored by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are "session cookies". These are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies are stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.

You can configure your browser settings so that you are informed when cookies are placed and you can permit cookies only in individual cases, prohibit the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies required to execute electronic communication processes or to provide certain functions you wish to use (e.g. the shopping cart function) are stored in accordance with article 6, paragraph 1, letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies used to analyse your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are explained separately in this data protection statement.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which automatically forward your browser information to us. This information includes:

  • the browser type and version
  • the operating system used
  • the referrer URL
  • the host name of the accessing processor
  • the time of the server inquiry
  • your IP address.

These data are not merged with other data sources.

The legal basis for the data processing is article 6, paragraph 1, letter b of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures, as well as the legitimate interest of the website operator in accordance with article 6, paragraph 1, letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (analysis, optimisation and efficient, economical operation and security of the online offering). For security reasons (e.g. for the resolution of abusive or fraudulent actions), server log files are stored for a maximum period of seven days and then deleted. Data that must be stored longer for evidentiary purposes are exempt from deletion until the final resolution of the respective incident. Contact form
.When you send us inquiries via the contact form, your data from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide therein, are stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and to enable us to respond to any subsequent questions you may have. We do not share these data without your consent.

Contact form

When you send us inquiries via the contact form, your data from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide therein, are stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and to enable us to respond to any subsequent questions you may have. We do not share these data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is thus carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (article 6, paragraph 1, letter a of the GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal communication via e-mail to us will suffice for this purpose. The legality of the data processing procedures carried out until the revocation of consent shall remain unaffected by the revocation.

The data you entered in the contact form will remain stored with us until you ask us to delete them, revoke your consent to such storage or the purpose of the data storage no longer exists (e.g. after the processing of your inquiry has been completed). Compulsory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - shall remain unaffected thereby.

IP anonymisation

On this website, we have activated the IP anonymisation function.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities, and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website use and Internet use.
