4. Data Collection on Our Website

Cookies Our internet pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer 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 after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart functionality) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, they will be addressed separately in this privacy policy.

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
   Host name of the accessing computer
   Time of the server request
   IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

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

Registration on This Website You can register on our website to use additional features on the site. We use the data entered only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service you have registered for. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration.

The processing of the data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data collected during registration will be stored by us as long as you are registered on our website and will then be deleted. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.
