Data collection tools on our website
Cookies
Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies
help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on
your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are
automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device's memory until you delete them.
These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site. You can configure your
browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a caseby-case basis whether to accept
or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain
conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling
cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic
communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use (such as the shopping cart) are stored pursuant
to Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f of DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of
cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used
to analyze your surfing behavior) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to
us in "server log files". These are:
Browser type and browser version;
Operating system used;
Referrer URL;
Host name of the accessing computer;
Time of the server request;
IP address.
These data will not be combined with data from other sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f)
DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.
Contact form
Should you send us questions via the contact form, we will collect the data entered on the form, including the
contact details you provide, to answer your question and any follow-up questions. We do not share this
information without your permission. We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only
with your consent per Art. 6 (1)(a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email making
this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for
its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any
mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected
by this provision.
