4. Data Collection on this Website
Cookies
Our websites use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packets that do not harm your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third parties (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of specific services from third parties within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for the execution of the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you desire (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is provided. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of their services. If consent for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing occurs solely based on this consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are being set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.
Server Log Files
The provider of the sites automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that your browser transmits to us automatically. These include:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of their website—therefore, server log files must be collected.
Inquiries by Email, Phone, or Fax
If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of addressing your concerns. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the execution of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively addressing inquiries directed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), if it has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you send us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully addressed). Mandatory legal provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.
5. Analysis Tools and Advertising

This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In this context, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, duration of stay, operating systems used, and user origin. This data is assigned to the respective user's device. No assignment to a user ID takes place.
Furthermore, with Google Analytics, we can record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks. Google Analytics also employs various modeling approaches to supplement the collected datasets and uses machine learning technologies for data analysis.
Google Analytics uses technologies that allow for the recognition of users for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google regarding the use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transmission to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: Google Privacy.
The company is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that aims to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF commits to adhering to these data protection standards. Further information can be obtained from the provider at the following link: DPF Participant Search.
IP Anonymization
The Google Analytics IP anonymization feature is enabled. This means that your IP address is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide other services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
