3. Data Collection on Our Website

Cookies

The internet pages use so-called cookies in part. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and that your browser saves.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser during your next visit.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, as well as to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Cookies that are necessary for the execution of the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of his services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies for the analysis of your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files

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

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

A combination of this data with other data sources is not made.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which allows the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the request and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is thus carried out exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. A simple email to us is sufficient for this. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after processing your inquiry has been completed). Mandatory legal provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies takes place on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both his web offer and his advertising.
