Cookies

Some of the web pages on this site use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective 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 at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing specific functions you have requested (e.g. the shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically fault-free and optimised provision of its services. Where the relevant consent has been sought (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Where other cookies (e.g. cookies used to analyse your browsing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.

Cookies that are stored and their purpose:

Tracking

Provided you have given your consent, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”). The service is used in “Universal Analytics” mode. This makes it possible to associate data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices with a pseudonymous user ID, thereby analysing a user’s activities across devices.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP-anonymisation is enabled on this website, your IP address will, however, be truncated by Google beforehand within Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Please note that Google Analytics on this website has been extended to include IP anonymisation, to ensure that IP addresses are collected in an anonymised form (so-called IP masking). The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data held by Google. Further information on the terms of use and data protection can be found at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at https://policies.google.com/?hl=de.

Purposes of processing
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website and internet usage.

Legal basis
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is your consent in accordance with Article 6(1), first sentence, point a of the GDPR.

Recipients / Categories of recipients
The recipient of the data collected is Google.

Transfer to third countries
Personal data is transferred to the USA under the EU-US Privacy Shield on the basis of the European Commission’s adequacy decision. You can access the certificate here.

Data retention period
Data sent by us and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs, is automatically deleted after 14 months. Data for which the retention period has expired is automatically deleted once a month.

Data subjects’ rights
You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by preventing cookies from being stored via the relevant settings in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that, in this case, you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of this website.

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IPaddress) to Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser add-on. Opt-out cookies prevent your data from being collected in future when you visit this website. To prevent Universal Analytics from collecting data across different devices, you must carry out the opt-out procedure on all systems you use. Clicking here will set the opt-out cookie: Disable Google Analytics

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

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

This data is not combined with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free display and optimisation of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the details you provide in the enquiry form – including the contact details you enter there – will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in the event of any follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6( 1(b) of the GDPR, provided that your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), provided that this has been requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will be retained by us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Enquiries by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data contained therein (name, enquiry), stored and processed by us for the purpose of dealing with your enquiry. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)( f of the GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us.

The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address and information that enables us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of data entered into the newsletter registration form takes place solely on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You may withdraw your consent to the storage of your data and email address, and to their use for sending the newsletter, at any time, for example via the ‘Unsubscribe’ link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of any data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by this withdrawal.

The data you have provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider, and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list once you have unsubscribed. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

Once you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider on a blacklist, if necessary, to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be combined with other data. This serves both your interests and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). There is no time limit on storage on the blacklist. You may object to this storage provided that your interests override our legitimate interest.
