Cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Cookies help us make our services more user-friendly, effective, and secure.

Some cookies are “session cookies.” These cookies are automatically deleted after your browser session ends. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself. These cookies help us recognize you when you return to our website.

With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict, or block the use of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured to automatically delete cookies when you close the program. Disabling cookies may result in limited functionality of our website.

The use of cookies necessary for the execution of electronic communications or the provision of specific functions you request (e.g., shopping cart) is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technical error-free and smooth provision of our services. If other cookies are set (e.g., for analytical functions), they are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

Real Cookie Banner

To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents, we use the consent tool "Real Cookie Banner". Details on how "Real Cookie Banner" works can be found at https://devowl.io/rcb/data-processing/.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we will not be able to manage your consents.

Google Analytics

Our website uses features of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider of the web analysis service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses “cookies.” These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device, enabling an analysis of the website usage. Information generated by cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to a Google server and stored there. The server location is typically in the USA.

The use of Google Analytics cookies is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize our web offerings and possibly also advertising.

IP Anonymization

We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymization feature. This ensures that Google shortens your IP address within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it to the USA. There may be exceptions where Google transmits the full IP address to a server in the USA and shortens it there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, create reports on website activity, and provide further services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the setting of cookies by your web browser. However, some features of our website may be limited as a result. Additionally, you can prevent the collection of data regarding your website usage, including your IP address, as well as subsequent processing by Google. This can be done by downloading and installing the browser plugin available through the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Objection to Data Collection

You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set, which prevents the collection of your data on future visits to our website: Deactivate Google Analytics.

For details on how user data is handled by Google Analytics, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: Google Analytics Privacy Policy.

Data Processing Agreement

To fully comply with the legal data protection requirements, we have entered into a data processing agreement with Google.

Demographic Features in Google Analytics

Our website uses the “Demographic Features” function of Google Analytics. This allows us to create reports that provide insights into the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. These data come from Google’s interest-based advertising and from third-party visitor data. The data cannot be attributed to any specific individual. You can deactivate this feature at any time. This can be done through the ad settings in your Google account or by disabling data collection by Google Analytics as explained in the “Opt-out of Data Collection” section.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

Our website uses Google AdWords, provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States.

AdWords is an online advertising program. As part of this program, we use conversion tracking. After clicking on an advertisement served by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files stored by your web browser on your device. Google AdWords cookies expire after 30 days and do not serve to personally identify users. With the cookie, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on an ad and were redirected to our website.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a unique cookie. These cookies are not traceable across AdWords customer websites. Conversion cookies are used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers using conversion tracking. AdWords customers learn how many users clicked on their ad and were redirected to pages with the conversion tracking tag. However, AdWords customers do not receive any information that allows personal identification of users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to its use by deactivating the conversion cookie in your browser’s user settings. This will prevent your inclusion in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of “conversion cookies” is based on Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. As website operators, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize our website and advertising.

For more details on Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

With modern web browsers, you can monitor, restrict, or prevent the setting of cookies. Disabling cookies may result in limited functionality of our website.

Google Web Fonts

Our website uses web fonts provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

By using these web fonts, we are able to present our website in the desired style, regardless of the fonts available locally on your device. This is achieved by retrieving the Google Web Fonts from a server operated by Google in the USA, which involves transmitting your data to Google. This includes your IP address and the pages you have visited on our website. The use of Google Web Fonts is based on Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the optimal presentation and delivery of our website.

Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework. This agreement ensures that the data protection level required by EU law is maintained.
