Use of Cookies 

We use cookies on various pages in order to make visiting our website an attractive experience and to enable the use of certain functions. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and store certain settings and data that are exchanged with our system via your browser.

Which cookies are used on this website?
The individual cookies that we use are described in further detail below.
  • Necessary cookies - These cookies are necessary to enable the operation of our website. These include for instance cookies that enable you to log on to the customer area, or to place something in the shopping cart and then to store it.
  • Analytical/performance cookies - These cookies enable the collection of anonymised data about our visitors’ usage behaviour. We then analyse this for example to improve the functionality of the website and to present you with interesting offers.
Some of the cookies used by us are deleted again at the end of the browser session, i.e. after closing your browser (known as session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and enable us to recognise your browser on the next visit (persistent cookies).

Analysis and Promotional Measures

We use various technologies to analyse the usage behaviour and associated data so we can improve our website. The collected data may include in particular the IP address of the end device, the date and time of the access, the cookie ID, the device ID of mobile devices and technical information about the browser and the operating system. However, the collected data is only saved in a pseudonymised form, meaning that it cannot be directly traced back to the individuals. This data is also processed for marketing purposes and to enable personalised advertising messages to be generated for you. The legal basis for this data processing is a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 f) GDPR.

The following section will explain these technologies and the providers used in that context in further detail.

Google Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to analyse and improve our website based on your user behaviour. The data produced in this context may be transferred to and stored on a server in the USA by Google for analysis. Should personal data be transferred to the USA, Google has signed up to the EU-US Privacy Shield. However, before the usage statistics are analysed, your IP address will be shortened, meaning that your identity cannot be traced. To that end, Google Analytics has been expanded with the code “anonymizeIP” on our website to guarantee the anonymised collection of IP addresses. Google uses the information gathered via the cookies to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports relating to website activity for the website operators and to provide further services connected to the use of the website and the Internet.
As set out above, you can configure your browser to reject cookies, or you can prevent the collection of the data generated by cookies relating to your use of this website (incl. your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the Browser Add-on provided by Google. For further information see the Google privacy policy.

If we transfer data to service providers, they may only use the data for the performance of their tasks. The service providers have been carefully selected and retained by us.

The legal basis for the foregoing data processing is a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.
Additionally, data may be forwarded in connection with inquiries from public authorities, court rulings and legal proceedings if this is required for prosecution or enforcement of the law.

Thereafter we delete the data immediately unless we still require the data for evidential purposes under civil law up to the expiry of the limitation period or due to statutory retention periods.
For evidential purposes we are required to store contractual data for a further ten years after the end of the year in which the business relationship with you comes to an end. Any claims in accordance with the standard statutory limitation period shall become time barred at this point at the earliest.
