3. Data collection on our website

Cookies

Some of the web pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies 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 of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are auto­mat­ic­ally deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recog­nise your browser the next time you visit.

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 you deac­tivate cookies, the func­tion­ality of this website may be restricted.

Cookies that are neces­sary for the elec­tronic commu­nic­a­tion process or for the provi­sion of certain func­tions requested by you (e.g. shop­ping basket func­tion) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website oper­ator has a legit­imate interest in storing cookies for the tech­nic­ally error-free and optim­ised provi­sion of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your surfing beha­viour) are stored, these are dealt with separ­ately in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The provider of the pages auto­mat­ic­ally collects and stores inform­a­tion in so-called server log files, which your browser auto­mat­ic­ally trans­mits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • oper­ating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of server request
  • IP address

 

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The basis for data processing is Article 6(1) f GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the perform­ance of a contract or pre-contrac­tual meas­ures.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up ques­tions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The data entered in the contact form is there­fore processed exclus­ively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing oper­a­tions carried out until revoc­a­tion remains unaf­fected by the revoc­a­tion.

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

When you visit this website, your browser loads the required web fonts directly from Adobe’s servers to display texts and fonts correctly. In doing so, your IP address is trans­mitted to Adobe. Data transfer to servers located in the United States cannot be ruled out.

Google Analytics

For the purpose of custom­izing and continu­ally optim­izing our pages, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (https://www.google.com/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphi­theater Parkway, Moun­tain View, CA 94043, USA, here­after “Google”). In this context, pseud­onymised usage profiles are created and cookies are used. The inform­a­tion gener­ated by the cookie about your use of this website such as

• browser type / version,
• used oper­ating system,
• Referrer URL (the previ­ously visited page),
• host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
• time of server request,

are trans­mitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. The inform­a­tion is used to eval­uate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and tailor-made website design. This inform­a­tion may also be trans­ferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data in the order. Under no circum­stances will your IP address be merged with any other data provided by Google. The IP addresses are anonym­ized, so that an assign­ment is not possible (IP masking).

You can prevent the install­a­tion of cookies by setting the browser soft­ware accord­ingly; however, we point out that in this case not all features of this website may be fully exploited.

You can also prevent the collec­tion of data gener­ated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by down­loading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

As an altern­ative to the browser add-on, espe­cially for browsers on mobile devices, you can prevent the collec­tion by Google Analytics by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie will be set that will prevent the future collec­tion of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.
