Cookies

We use cookies on our website to make our internet presence more user-friendly and functional. Some cookies remain stored on your terminal device.

Cookies are small data packets that are exchanged between your browser and the/our web server when you visit our website. They do not cause any damage and only serve to recognize the website visitor. Cookies can only store information supplied by your browser, i.e. information that you yourself have entered into the browser or that is present on the website. Cookies cannot execute code and cannot be used to access your terminal device.

The next time you visit our website with the same terminal device, the information stored in cookies may subsequently be sent back either to us (“first-party cookie”) or to a third-party web application to which the cookie belongs (“third-party cookie”). Through the stored and returned information, the respective web application recognizes that you have already called up and visited the website with the browser of your end device.

Cookies contain the following information:

• Cookie Name
• Name of the server from which the cookie originated
• Cookie ID number
• A date on which the cookie is automatically deleted

Depending on their purpose and function, we divide cookies into the following categories:

• Technically necessary cookies to ensure the technical operation and basic functions of our website. For example, this type of cookie is used to maintain your settings while you navigate the website; or they can ensure that important information is retained throughout the session (e.g. login, shopping cart).
• Statistics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and analyzing information anonymously only. This provides us with valuable insights to optimize both the website and our products and services.
• Marketing cookies to set targeted advertising activities for users on our website.
• Unclassified cookies are cookies that we are currently trying to classify together with providers of individual cookies.

Depending on how long they are stored, we also divide cookies into session and persistent cookies. Session cookies store information used during your current browser session. These cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. This does not leave any information on your terminal device. Persistent cookies store information between two visits to the website. Based on this information, you will be recognized as a returning visitor on your next visit and the website will respond accordingly. The lifetime of a permanent cookie is determined by the provider of the cookie.

The legal basis for the use of technically necessary cookies is based on our legitimate interest in the technically flawless operation and smooth functionality of our website pursuant to Art 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. Our website cannot function properly without these cookies. The use of statistics and marketing cookies requires your consent pursuant to Art 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO.

You can find more information about the cookies we actually use (in particular, their purpose and storage period) in this privacy policy and in the information about the cookies we use in our cookie banner.

You can also set your Internet browser to generally prevent cookies from being stored on your end device or to ask you each time whether you agree to cookies being set. Once cookies have been set, you can delete them at any time. You can find out how all this works in detail in the help function of your browser.

Please note that a general deactivation of cookies may lead to functional restrictions on our website.

On our website, we also use so-called local storage functions (also called “local storage”). In this case, data is stored locally in the cache of your browser, which continues to exist and can be read even after you close the browser – as long as you do not delete the cache or it is the session storage.

Third parties cannot access the data stored in the Local Storage. If special plug-ins or tools use the local storage functions, this is described with the respective plug-in or tool.

If you do not want plug-ins or tools to use local storage functions, you can control this in the settings of your respective browser. We would like to point out that this may result in functional restrictions.

Use of Google Analytics

The processing of data serves to analyse this website and its visitors and for marketing and advertising purposes.

Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services to the website operator relating to website and internet use. In this process the following information, inter alia, can be collected: IP address, date and time of the website access, click path, information on the browser and the device you are using, the pages visited, referrer URL (website via which you accessed our website), location data, purchasing activities. The IP address transmitted from your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not associated with any other data held by Google.
Google Analytics uses technology such as cookies, web storage in the browser and tracking pixels which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by these regarding your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google relies on standard contractual clauses as suitable guarantees for the protection of personal data, available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms/. Both Google and the US government authorities have access to your data. Google may combine your data with other data, such as your search history, personal accounts, usage data from other devices and any other information Google has about you. 

IP anonymisation is activated on this website. Google uses this to shorten your IP address beforehand within Member States of the European Union or in other signatories to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Use of Google Fonts

Purpose: External Media
Recipient country: USA

Our website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. Google Fonts is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).

ATTENTION! As part of this service, data is transferred to the USA or such cannot be ruled out.

To display Google web fonts, the browser you are using must connect to the Google servers. This gives Google knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address. The IP address of the browser of the end device of the visitor to our website is also stored by Google. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your end device.

With each Google Font request, information such as language settings, screen resolution, version and name of the browser is automatically transmitted to the Google server in addition to the IP address. In any case, Google can use the collected usage data to determine the popularity of fonts. Google publishes the results on internal analysis pages (e.g. Google Analytics).

With Google Fonts we can use fonts on our own website and do not have to upload them to our server. Google Fonts is an important component in keeping the quality of our website high. All Google fonts are automatically optimized for the web, this saves data volume and is a great advantage, especially when using mobile devices. When you visit us, the small file size ensures a fast loading time. Furthermore, Google Fonts are secure web fonts and support all common browsers.

Google stores requests for CSS assets on its servers for one day. This enables us to use the fonts using a Google style sheet. The font files are stored by Google for one year. To delete data early, you must contact Google Support ( https://support.google.com ).

Your data will only be processed with your express consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
