Cookies

Our website uses so-called cookies in part. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. They help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies,” which are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can configure your browser to notify you before cookies are set, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or in general, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are required for the electronic communication process or for the provision of specific functions requested by you (e.g., shopping cart functionality) are stored based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure the technically flawless and optimized provision of its services. Any other cookies (e.g., those used to analyze your browsing behavior) are treated separately in this privacy policy.

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

  • Browser type and version

  • Hostname of the accessing device

The processing of the data entered into the contact form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time by sending us an informal email. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.

Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
