4.1. Cookies
Some of the pages belonging to our website use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. They merely serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most cookies used by us are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit to our website. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our website. You can change the settings of your browser to receive information about the storage of cookies, 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. Please note, however, that the functionality of this website may be limited if cookies are deactivated. Cookies that are necessary to carry out electronic communication processes or to provide certain functions desired by you (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest to store cookies in order to guarantee an error-free and optimized access to his services. Other cookies (e.g. cookies used to analyze your surfing behavior) stored by us will be addressed separately in this privacy policy.
4.2 Server log files
The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information by means of so-called server log files, which are automatically transmitted to us by your browser. These include:
- browser type and browser version
- operating system used
- referrer URL

These data are not pooled with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

If you send us a request by using the contact form, the details including the contact data you entered will be stored for the purpose of processing your request and responding to potential follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your express consent.

Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected by this.
