4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our web pages use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g. for the shopping cart function) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free provision of its services. Insofar as consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

Consent Management

We use our own consent management. Your decision is stored in the first-party cookie yoolink_cookie_consent for 180 days. Optionally, for compatibility reasons, the first-party cookies Cookie-Consent, Cookie-Analytic and Cookie-Map are set. These cookies only store your choice and are not used for tracking.

Optional services are divided into the categories statistics as well as external media and security services. Matomo, maps, videos and reCAPTCHA are only loaded after you have actively selected the respective category. You can change or revoke your decision at any time under cookie settings.

Enquiry by Email, Phone or Fax

If you contact us by email, phone or fax, your enquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your enquiry is connected with the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), insofar as this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

6. Web Analytics

Matomo

With your consent, this website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo to statistically evaluate the reach and use of our website.

Matomo uses cookies and comparable technologies that allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated is stored exclusively on our own server.

IP Anonymisation

We have activated IP anonymisation on this website. Your IP address is shortened before storage, so that a direct personal reference is excluded.
