Cookies
This website uses cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. They help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, 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 "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies and to allow cookies only in specific cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies required to carry out electronic communication processes or to provide certain functions you wish to use (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to provide its services in a technically error-free and optimized manner. Any other cookies (e.g., for analyzing your browsing behavior) will be handled separately in this privacy policy.
Server Log Files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
These data will not be merged with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your data from the form—including the contact details you provide—will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is thus based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. An informal email is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.
