Data collection on our website
Cookies The 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 allow us to recognise your browser the next time you visit. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally exclude and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or for provision of certain functions that you wish to use (e.g. shopping cart function) are saved on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (such as cookies for analysing your surfing behaviour) are stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy. Server Log Files The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called Server Log Files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. 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 This data will not be merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact form If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provided therein, will be stored in order to process the request and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent. The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The information you provide in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage is eliminated (for example, after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
