This site uses an SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests, which you send to us acting as the site operator. An encrypted connection can be recognized by the change in the browser's address bar from “http://” to “https://” as well as the lock icon in your browser’s address bar.

4. Data collection on our website

Cookies

 

Some of the websites use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our services 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 end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser when you next visit us.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, block the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or all of them, and activate 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 to provide certain functions that are desired by you (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this data protection declaration.

 

 

Server log files

 

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:

 

    browser type and version

    used operating system

    referrer URL

    host name of the accessing computer

    time of the server request

    IP address

 

This data is not merged with other data sources.

Data processing is governed by Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), which allows processing of data for fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

 

 

Contact form

 

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us in order to process the inquiry and in case we have follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent.

The processing of the data given in the contact form is therefore exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. To this end, an informal message to us by email is sufficient. The revocation does not affect the legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation.

The information you provide in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose of the data storage is no longer applicable (for example, after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

 

5. Plugins and tools

Google Analytics

 

This website uses features of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable the analysis of the website used by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies and the use of this analysis tool are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize its website and advertising.

 

 

IP anonymization

 

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. As a result, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent 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 your website activity and Internet usage to the website operator. The IP address provided by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

You may also opt out from Google's collection and processing of the data, generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

 

This website uses the function “Demographics features” from Google Analytics. This allows creation of reports that contain information on the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. These data come from interest-based advertising by Google and third-party visitor data. These data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can disable this feature at any time through the ad settings in your Google account, or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as outlined in the “Objection to data collection” section.

 

 

Duration of Storage

 

Data stored by Google on user and event level that is linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g., User ID) or advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) will be anonymized after 26 months or deleted. Details can be found under the following link:

 

support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196

 

 

Google AdWords and Google conversion tracking

 

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program from Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

As part of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. A conversion tracking cookie is used when you click on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that the web browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies become invalid after 30 days and are not intended for personal identification of users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, it can be recognized by both Google and us that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of AdWords customers. The information gathered using the conversion cookie are used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn about the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users. If you do not want to participate in the tracking, you can opt-out from this by easily disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under User preferences. By doing so you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of “conversion cookies” and the use of this tracking tool are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize its website and advertising.

For further information about Google AdWords and Google conversion tracking, please refer to the privacy policy of Google at: www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
