3. Data Collection on Our Website
Cookies
Our website uses cookies in some areas. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our offering more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files 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 stored 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 setting of cookies, allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies necessary for carrying out electronic communications or providing certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically correct and optimized provision of its services. Other cookies (e.g., those used to analyze your surfing behavior) are addressed separately in this privacy policy.
Server Log Files
The site provider automatically collects and stores information in “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 server request
- IP address
This data is not combined with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO, 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 information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide, will be stored by us for 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 occurs exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of data processing operations carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after completing your request). Mandatory legal provisions, particularly retention periods, remain unaffected.
