Cookies
This website uses cookies in some instances. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. They are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and safe. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer and saved in your browser.
The majority of cookie we use as known as session cookies, which are automatically deleted when you leave our website. Other cookies remain saved on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognise you the next time you visit our website.
You can configure your browser to inform you when a cookie is set and only permit cookies on a one-off basis, accept cookies in specific cases, generally prevent their use, or activate automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you deactivate cookies, however, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
Cookies that are required for the purpose of electronic communication or to provide certain required functions (e.g. shopping cart functionality) are saved on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysis of your browsing habits) are stored, they are addressed separately in this privacy policy.
Server logs
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that are transmitted to us automatically by your browser. This information includes:
- Browser type/version
- Operating system
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the computer used for access
- Server request time
- IP address
This data are not combined with any other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or to take steps prior to entering into a contract.
Contact form
If you send us a request using our contact form, we will save the data you provide on the contact form, including your contact details, for the purpose of responding to the request and any follow-up queries. We will not disclose these data to anyone else without your consent.
The data entered on the contact form are thus processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time. Informal notification by e-mail is sufficient for this purpose. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until you withdraw your consent is unaffected by this.
We retain the data you enter on the contact form until you request their erasure, withdraw your consent for them to be stored, or the purpose of storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your query has been fully resolved). Mandatory statutory regulations – in particular retention periods – are unaffected by this.
Registration on this website
You may register on this website to use additional functions that are provided. We only use the data you enter to enable your use of the service for which you have registered. Mandatory data that are requested during the registration process must be provided in full. If they are not, we will not register you.

The data entered during registration are processed on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You may withdraw your consent at any time. Informal notification by e-mail is sufficient for this purpose. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until you withdraw your consent is unaffected by this.
We store the data collected during the registration process for as long as you remain registered on our website and then erase them. Statutory retention periods are unaffected by this.
4. Analysis tools and marketing
Google Analytics
This website uses functions provided by the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses cookies, text files that are saved on your computer to help the website analyse how visitors use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the USA.
Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDRP. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour for the purpose of optimising both its website and its marketing activities.
IP anonymisation
We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This means that Google will truncate your IP address for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to and truncated by Google servers in the USA. On behalf of the website provider, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website provider. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
Browser plugin
You may prevent cookies from being saved by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google’s collection and use of the data (including your IP address) generated by the cookie by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Objection to data collection
You can object to Google Analytics’ collection of your data by clicking the following link. This places an opt-out cookie on your computer that prevents your data from being collected in the future when visiting this website. Deactivate Google Analytics.
More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in the Google privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.
Contract data processing
We have concluded an agreement on contract data processing with Google and fully implement the strict requirements stipulated by the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Demographics in Google Analytics
This website uses the “Demographics” function in Google Analytics. This enables the creation of reports containing information on the ages, genders, and interests of website visitors. The data are derived from Google’s interest-based advertising and visitor data from third-party providers. None of these data can be associated with a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time by going to the display settings in your Google account, or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as set out in the section entitled “Objection to data collection”.
Google Analytics Remarketing
Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing combined with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
This function allows marketing audiences created with Google Analytics Remarketing to be associated with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This makes it possible to show the interest-based, personalised advertising that has been tailored to your usage and browsing habits on one device (e.g. mobile phone) on one of your other devices (e.g. tablet or PC).
If you have provided the relevant consent, Google will associate your web and app browser histories with your Google account for this purpose. This makes it possible to display the same personalised advertising on all devices on which you log in using your Google account.
To support this function, Google Analytics collects the Google-authenticated IDs of users who are temporarily associated with our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device advertising.
You can object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalised advertising in your Google account; click on the following link to do so: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The data collected are only associated with your Google account on the basis of your consent, which you can provide to Google or withdrawn (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). In the event of data collection that is not associated with your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to this association), data collection is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. As the operator of this website, our legitimate interest is in the anonymised analysis of website visitors for marketing purposes.
More information and data protection regulations can be found in Google’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.
