4. DATA COLLECTION ON THIS WEBSITE
Cookies
Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently on your device (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.
Third-party cookies may also be stored on your device when you visit our website. These enable us or you to use certain services provided by third parties (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to analyse user behaviour or display advertising.
Cookies that are necessary for carrying out electronic communication, for providing certain functions requested by you (e.g. the shopping cart function) or for optimising the website (e.g. cookies for measuring website traffic) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TTDSG); consent may be withdrawn at any time.
You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or generally, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
If cookies from third-party companies or cookies for analysis purposes are used, we will inform you separately about this in this Privacy Policy and, where applicable, request your consent.

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 version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of theaccessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data is not combined with other data sources.
The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in ensuring the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of the website – the server log files must therefore be recorded for this purpose.
CONTACT FORM
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the enquiry form, including the contact details you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not disclose this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), if consent has been requested. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
ENQUIRIES BY EMAIL OR TELEPHONE
If you contact us by email or telephone, your enquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not disclose this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), if consent has been requested. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The data sent to us through contact enquiries will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been fully processed).

Only such data is disclosed as the respective service provider requires to fulfil its task. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data necessary for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. If you have given the corresponding consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, we will provide your email address to the transport company responsible for delivery so that it can inform you by email about the shipping status of your order.

The respective contractual and data protection provisions of the respective providers apply to these transactions. The use of payment service providers is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (contract processing) and on our legitimate interest in ensuring a smooth, convenient and secure payment process (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
