3. Data collection on our website
Cookies
Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your
computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our
website more user-friendly, efficient, 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 in
your device's memory until you delete them. These cookies make it
possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the
site.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of
cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to
accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be
configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions
or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when
closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality
of this website.
Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications
or to provide certain functions you wish to use (such as the
shopping cart) are stored pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f
of DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the
storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of
technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyze
your surfing behavior) are also stored, they will be treated
separately in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores
information that your browser automatically transmits to us in
"server log files". 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
These data will not be combined with data from other
sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, which
allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures
preliminary to a contract.
Contact form
Should you send us questions via the contact form, we will
collect the data entered on the form, including the contact details
you provide, to answer your question and any follow-up questions.
We do not share this information without your permission.
We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact
form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1)(a) DSGVO. You may revoke
your consent at any time. An informal email making this request is
sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may
still be legally processed.
We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until
you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or
the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after
fulfilling your request). Any mandatory statutory provisions,
especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain
unaffected by this provision.
