When you visit our website, we apply the widely used SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure in conjunction with the highest encryption level supported by your browser. As a rule, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can see whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.

Collection and storage of personal data and the nature and purpose of their use when visiting the website

In principle, you can use our website without disclosing your identity. When you visit our website, the browser used on your terminal device automatically sends information to our website server. This information is temporarily stored in a log file. The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until automatic deletion:

  • IP address of the requesting computer
  • Date and time of access
  • Name and URL of the file accessed
  • Website from which the access was made (referrer URL)
  • Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as the name of               your access provider

The aforementioned data is processed by us for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth website connection establishment
  • Evaluating the system security and stability

The legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interests lie in ensuring comfortable use and a stable connection. 

3. Cookies 

Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data. In the following, we explain what cookies are and why they are used so that you can better understand the privacy policy.

What type of cookies may be used when you visit our website?

The question of which cookies we use in particular depends on the services used. We can distinguish between four types of cookies:

Strictly necessary (essential) cookies
These cookies are necessary to ensure basic functions of the website. For example, cookies are needed to recognise visitors, to record the pages they visit and to enable improvements to navigation. These cookies do not delete the shopping basket even if the user closes their browser window.

Functionality cookies
These cookies collect information about user behaviour and whether the user receives any error messages. In addition, these cookies are also used to measure the loading time and the behaviour of the website with different browsers.

These cookies are set if you have given your consent:

How can I delete cookies?

You decide how and whether you want to use cookies. Regardless of which service or website the cookies come from, you always have the option of deleting cookies, only partially allowing them or disabling them. For example, you can block third-party cookies but allow all other cookies.

If you want to find out which cookies have been stored in your browser, if you want to change or delete cookie settings, you can find this in your browser settings:

Chrome: Delete, activate and manage cookies in Chrome.

Safari: Manage cookies and website data with Safari 

Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have placed on your computer 

Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies 

Microsoft Edge: Delete and manage cookies 

If you generally do not want cookies, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is to be set. In this way, you can decide for each individual cookie whether you allow the cookie or not. The procedure varies depending on the browser. The best thing to do is to search for the instructions in Google with the search term “Delete Cookies Chrome” or “Disable Cookies Chrome” in the case of a Chrome browser, or exchange the word “Chrome” for the name of your browser, e.g. Edge, Firefox, Safari.

Processing by way of essential cookies within the scope of using this website is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR, on the basis of a legitimate interest that consists of providing visitors to our website with a stable and properly functioning website.

Processing by way of all non-essential cookies within the scope of using this website is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR, on the basis of consent given when you visit the website for the first time, which may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

  • Technical information about your browser and the end devices you use (e.g. language settings, screen resolution)
  • Your internet service provider
  • The referrer URL (via which website/advertising medium you came to this website)                         

Purposes of the processing
