DATA COLLECTION ON OUR WEBSITECOOKIES
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
case-by-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) (b) 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.
ANALYTICS AND ADVERTISING
GOOGLE ANALYTICS
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service. It is operated by Google Inc., 1600

Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to
a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the
operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity,
and to provide other services regarding website activity and Internet usage for the website operator.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any
other data held by Google.

Outsourced data processing
We have entered into an agreement with Google for the outsourcing of our data processing and fully
implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google
Analytics.

This website uses Google Analytics’ demographic features. This allows reports to be generated
containing statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from
interest-based advertising from Google and third-party visitor data. This collected data cannot be
attributed to any specific individual person. You can disable this feature at any time by adjusting the
ads settings in your Google account or you can forbid the collection of your data by Google Analytics
as described in the section “Refusal of data collection”.
