Cookies
Our website uses cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain 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 ends. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are being set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to block cookies in specific cases or in general, and to automatically delete cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies necessary for the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions you wish to use (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of services. If other cookies (e.g. for analyzing browsing behavior) are stored, these will be addressed separately in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The website provider 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 the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
This data will not be combined with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Contact form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the form, including the contact data you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your request and for follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.
The data you provide via the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., once your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.
