  • Data Processing

    Data processed during the use of our website will be deleted or blocked once the purpose of storage no longer applies, no legal retention obligations prevent deletion, and no other specifications are made for individual processing procedures.

    Cookies

    a) Session Cookies

    We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies placed and stored on your device by the internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information about you, such as browser or location data or your IP address.

    This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure, as it enables features like displaying the website in different languages or offering a shopping cart function.

    The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, if these cookies process data for contract initiation or contract execution.

    If processing does not serve contract initiation or execution, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

    These session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.

    b) Third-Party Cookies

    We may also use cookies from partner companies with whom we collaborate for advertising, analysis, or website functionality purposes.

    Details about this, particularly regarding purposes and legal grounds for processing such third-party cookies, can be found in the following information.

    c) Removal Options

    You can prevent or restrict cookie installation through your internet browser settings. You can also delete already stored cookies at any time. The required steps depend on your specific internet browser. For questions, use your browser's help function or documentation, or contact its manufacturer or support.

    Social Network Integration

    We embed social network graphics that link to our profiles. By using linked graphics, automatic connection to the network's server is prevented when accessing our website. Only by clicking the graphic will users be redirected to the social network service.

    After redirection, the network collects user information. Data processing in the USA cannot be excluded. Collected data typically includes IP address, date, time, and visited page.

    If the user is logged into their account during the visit, the network operator may associate collected information with the user's personal account. Interactions via sharing buttons might store and potentially publish information in the user's personal account.

    To prevent immediate account association, users should log out before clicking the graphic and configure their account settings accordingly.

    Integrated Social Network:

    Google Analytics

    We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google Ireland Limited. Through EU-US Privacy Shield certification, Google ensures EU data protection standards are maintained when processing data in the USA.

    Google Analytics analyzes our website usage. Legal basis: Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is analyzing, optimizing, and economically operating our website.

    Usage and user-related information (IP address, location, visit time/frequency) are transferred to a Google server in the USA. We use Google's anonymization function, which shortens IP addresses within the EU/EEA.

    Google uses collected data to provide us website visit and usage activity evaluations. Data may also be used for related internet services. Google claims it does not connect your IP address with other data.

    Deactivation options:

    Google Fonts

    We use Google Fonts to display external typefaces. Through EU-US Privacy Shield certification, Google guarantees EU data protection standards.

    When accessing our website, a connection to Google's US server is established to enable specific font displays.

    Legal basis: Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is optimizing and economically operating our website.

    Google can determine which website sent the request and which IP address should receive font rendering.

    Google AdWords with Conversion Tracking

    We use Google AdWords' Conversion Tracking, a service by Google Ireland Limited. Through EU-US Privacy Shield certification, Google ensures EU data protection standards.

    We use Conversion Tracking for targeted advertising. Legal basis: Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is analyzing, optimizing, and economically operating our website.

    When you click a Google ad, a Conversion Cookie is stored on your device. These cookies expire after 30 days and do not personally identify you.

    If the cookie is valid and you visit a specific page, we and Google can evaluate that you clicked our ad and were redirected to our website.

    Google creates a website visit statistics report. We receive information about:

    • Number of users clicking our ads

    • Subsequent pages visited

    Neither we nor third-party Google AdWords users can identify you through this process.

    Deactivation options:

    Legal basis: Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is analyzing, optimizing, and economically operating our website.
