3. Data Collection on Our Website

Cookies

Our website uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any harm to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our offerings 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 after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser during your next visit.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific 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 that are required for the execution of the electronic communication process or to provide certain, user-requested functions (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, these are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that your browser transmits to us. This includes:
* Browser type and version
* Used operating system
* Referrer URL
* Hostname of the accessing computer
* Time of server request
* IP address
This data is not combined with other data sources.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO, which allows the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the request and for any follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is thus carried out exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO). You can withdraw this consent at any time. A simple email notification to us is sufficient. The legality of data processing operations carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after the processing of your request is completed). Mandatory legal provisions—particularly retention periods—remain unaffected.
