Cookies

Some of our website’s pages use “cookies.” Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. They help make our offer more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies,” which are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, or to generally prevent cookies and automatically delete them when closing your browser. Please note that disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

Cookies necessary for electronic communication or the provision of certain functions you requested (e.g., shopping cart functionality) are stored based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Any cookies used for the analysis of your browsing behavior are treated separately in this Data Protection Declaration.

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request

This data is not combined with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which allows data to be processed for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

The data you provide in the contact form will be stored until you request deletion, revoke your consent to store it, or until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions, especially retention periods, remain unaffected.
