4. Data collection on our website
Cookies
The internet pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, more effective and safer. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies that we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser, whenever you next again.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about setting cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and also activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Cookies that are required for the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g., shopping basket function) are stored in accordance with 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 his/her services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g., cookies to analyse your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this data protection declaration.
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 the server request
• IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which permits data processing for fulfilling a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Contact form
If you send enquiries to us via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details that you have provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do 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 in accordance with (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. For this purpose, it is sufficient to send an informal e-mail to us. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data that you have entered in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
