Some of the pages on this website use what are known as cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies are used to make our online 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 known as session cookies. They are automatically deleted after you leave our website. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognise your browser when you next visit our website.

You can set your browser to notify you about the use of cookies, only allow cookies in specific cases or reject cookies in certain cases or in general. You can also activate a setting that automatically deletes cookies when you close the browser. The functionality of this website may be restricted if cookies are deactivated.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you require (e.g. the shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure that it can provide services that are optimised and free from technical errors. If other cookies are stored (e.g. cookies that analyse your browsing behaviour), these are handled separately in this data protection policy.

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in what are known as server log files, which are automatically transmitted to us by your browser. These files contain the following information:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of server request
• IP address

The data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1) (f) GDPR, which allows the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

If you send us enquiries by contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of any follow-up questions. We do not forward this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1) (a) GDPR). This consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

We use Google signals. When you visit our website, Google Analytics collects, among other things, your location, search history and YouTube history, as well as demographic data (visitor data). This data can be used for personalised advertising with the help of Google signals.

The data is also used to create anonymised statistics on the user behaviour of our users.

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider of this service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses what are known as cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and enable the analysis of your use of the website. The data generated by these cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of analysing your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services related to website and internet use to the website operator.
