Cookies
The internet pages make use in places of so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies are used to make our range of products and services more user-friendly, more effective and securer. Cookies are small text files which are stored on your computer and which your browser saves. Most of the cookies used by us are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically erased after 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 during your next visit. You can also set your browser in such a way that you are informed about the placement of cookies so you can either decide on a case-by-case basis to accept cookies, accept cookies in certain cases or generally reject them and activate the automatic deletion of the cookies on closing the browser. When cookies are deactivated, the functions of this web-site may be restricted. Cookies which are necessary for the execution of the electronic communication process or for the provision of particular functions desired by yourself (e.g. a shopping basket function) are stored in accordance with art. 6 para. 1 item f of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The operator of a web-site has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for a technically fault-free and optimised provision of his services. Where other cookies (for example, cookies for the analysis of your surfing habits) are stored, they will be dealt with separately in this data privacy statement.
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. This is:
• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address
This solely involves information which does not allow any conclusions to be made about your person. This information is technically necessary in order to correctly supply the content of web-sites requested by you and are an absolute necessity for the use of the internet. No merging of these data is undertaken with other data sources.
Contact Form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form will be stored with us, including the contact data, for the purpose of processing the enquiry and where there are follow-up questions. These data will not be passed on without your agreement. The processing of the data entered into the contact form thus takes place exclusively based on your consent (Article 6 para. 1 item a of the GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. An informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient for this. The lawfulness of the data processing procedures which have taken place up to the time of the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal. The data entered by you into the contact form remain with us until you request their erasure, withdraw your consent for their storage or the purpose for the data storage ceases to exist (e.g. after processing of your enquiry is completed). Any mandatory legal provisions – in particular storage periods – remain unaffected by this..
