4. Data collection on our website
Cookies
Some of the internet pages use what are known as cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our website 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 “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain in your device’s memory until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and 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 to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested (such as the shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 (f) of the EU GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically fault-free and optimised provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies to analyse your browsing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us.. This includes:
- browser type and browser version,
- operating system used,
- referrer URL host name of the accessing computer,
- time of the server request
- IP address
These data are not combined with data from other sources.
The basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 (b) of the EU GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you have provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up enquiries. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 (a) of the EU GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal message by email. The legality of the data processing operations carried up to the point of withdrawal remain unaffected by the withdrawal.
We will retain the data you enter in the contact form until you request us to delete it, withdraw your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after we have completed processing your enquiry).
Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – are not affected by this.
Registration on this website
You can register on our website in order to use additional functions on the site. We use the data entered for this purpose only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise we will reject the registration.
We use the email address provided during registration to inform you about important changes, such as the scope of the offer or technically necessary changes.
The processing of the data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 (a) of the EU GDPR). You can withdraw any consent you have given at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal message by email. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the point of the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
The data collected during registration will be stored by us for as long as you are registered on our website and will then be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
Comment function on this website
If you use the comment function on this site, the time at which you created the comment, your email address and your username, unless you are posting anonymously, will be stored along with your comment.
Storage of the IP address
Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. Since we do not check comments on our site before they are activated, we need this data in order to be able to take action against the author in the event of legal violations such as insults or propaganda.
Subscribing to comments
As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided. You can unsubscribe from this function at any time via a link in the Info-Mails. In this case, the data entered in the context of subscribing to comments will be deleted. However, if you have transmitted this data to us for other purposes and at another place (e.g., newsletter order), it will be retained.
Storage period of the comments
The comments and the associated data (e.g., IP address) are stored and remain on our website until the content that has been commented on has been completely deleted or the comments have to be deleted for legal reasons (e.g., offensive comments).
Legal basis
The storage of the comments is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 (a) of the EU GDPR). You can withdraw any consent you have given at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal message by email. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remain unaffected by the withdrawal.
