When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected by means of a cookie. For example, this information (server log files) includes the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider etc. None of this information allows conclusions to be drawn concerning your person.

Assurance of smooth loading of the website;
assurance of smooth use of our website;
analysis of the system security and stability; and
other administrative purposes.
The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest in the aforesaid purposes of the collection of data. We do not use your data for the purpose of drawing conclusions concerning your person. The only recipients of the data are the controller and any processors.
We may statistically analyse this type of anonymous information in order to optimise our website and the underlying technology.
Cookies
Like many other websites, we also use cookies. Cookies are little text files that a website server sends to your hard disk. In this way, we automatically receive certain data such as the IP address, the browser and operating system used and your Internet connection.
Cookies cannot be used to run programs or to transfer viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can make the navigation easier and enable the correct display of our web pages.
The data collected by us are never forwarded to any third party, and without your consent, no link is established to any personal data.
As a matter of principle, you can also view our website without using cookies. Internet browsers are normally configured in such a way that they accept cookies. Generally, you can always disable the use of cookies by configuring your browser accordingly. Please use the help functions of your Internet browser to learn how to change these settings. Please note that some functions of our website may not work if you disable the use of cookies.
Registration on Our Website
During the registration for the use of our personalized services, some personal data are collected, e.g. the name, address and contact and communication details such as the telephone number and e-mail address. If you register with us, you can access content and services that we only offer registered users. Moreover, registered users can at any time modify or delete the data specified during the registration. Apart from this, you can always request us to provide information about our stored personal data concerning you.

Performance of Payable Services
We request additional data for the performance of payable services, e.g. payment details in order to execute your orders. We store these data in our systems until the end of the statutory retention periods.
Forwarding of Data
For the contract performance pursuant to point (b) of Art. 6 (1) sentence1 GDPR, we will forward your data to the parcel service responsible for the delivery to the extent necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on the payment service provider you select in the order process, we will forward the payment data collected for the processing of payments to the bank that handles the payment and any payment service providers commissioned by us or to the selected payment service. In some cases, the selected payment service providers will collect these data directly if you set up an account with them. In this case, you need to log in to your payment service provider with your login details during the order process. This is subject to the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider.
SSL Encryption
To ensure the security of your data during the transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Use of Google (Universal) Analytics
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google (Universal) Analytics uses cookies ‒ text files that are stored on your computer and that enable the analysis of your use of the website. The information about your use of this website, which is generated by the cookie, is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Due to the activation of IP anonymisation on this website, Google will first anonymise your IP address in Member States of the European Union or other Contracting States to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. A full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and anonymised there only in exceptional cases. By order of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to render other services related to the use of the website and of the Internet in general for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser through Google (Universal) Analytics will not be combined with other Google data.
The purposes of the data processing are the analysis of the use of the website and the compilation of reports about activities on the website. Based on the use of the website and of the Internet, further associated services are to be performed. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.

Embedded YouTube Videos
We embed YouTube videos on some of our web pages. The operator of the respective plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page containing the YouTube plugin, a connection is established to YouTube servers. In this context, YouTube learns which pages you visit. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube can link your surfing behaviour to you personally. You can prevent this by first logging out from your YouTube account.
When a YouTube video is started, the provider makes use of cookies that collect information on the user behaviour.
If you disable the storage of cookies for the Google ad programme, no such cookies will be set when viewing YouTube videos either. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. To prevent this, you need to block the storage of cookies in the browser.
Further information on data protection on YouTube is available in the provider's privacy policy at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
Google AdWords
Our website uses Google conversion tracking. If you access our website via an ad published by Google, Google AdWords will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks an ad published by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and do not serve personal identification purposes. If a user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can see that the user has clicked the ad and has been redirected to the respective page. Every Google AdWords customer is assigned a different cookie. Thus, the cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie serves the creation of conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers will come to know the total number of users who have clicked their ad and been forwarded to a page marked with a conversion tracking tag. However, they will not receive any information that would enable the personal identification of users.
If you do not want to participate in the tracking, you can prevent the cookie this would require from being set, e.g. by configuring the browser in such a way that the automatic setting of cookies is disabled entirely or by blocking cookies from the domain "googleadservices.com".
Be sure not to delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want measurement data to be recorded. If you delete all your cookies in the browser, you need to set the respective opt-out cookie anew.
Use of Google Remarketing
This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. This function serves the presentation of interest-based ads to website visitors within the Google advertising network. In the website visitor's browser, a so-called cookie is set to enable the recognition of the user when he accesses web pages that belong to Google's advertising network. On these pages, the visitor may be shown ads that refer to content that the visitor previously accessed on web pages that use the Google remarketing function.
Google states that it does not collect any personal data in this process. Nevertheless, if you do not wish the remarketing function of Google to be used, you can disable it by configuring the settings shown under https://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can follow the instructions under https://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp to disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the advertising network initiative.
