Cookie Policy

Some of the pages on this website use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help 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 so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process or for providing specific functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function) are stored pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. To the extent that other cookies (e.g., cookies used to analyze your browsing behavior) are stored, these are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

Use of Cookies
When you visit this website, cookies may be stored on your device. Cookies are small text files stored by the browser you are using. Cookies cannot run programs or transfer viruses to your device. However, the entity that sets the cookie can obtain certain information through it. Cookies serve to make the website more user-friendly. For example, cookies can be used to recognize the device used to access this website when it is visited again.
You can restrict or prevent the use of cookies through your browser settings. For example, you can block only third-party cookies or block all cookies. However, blocking cookies may prevent you from using all features of this website. In the following sections of this Privacy Policy, we provide specific information about where and for what purposes cookies are used on the website.

a) Session Cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed and stored on your device by the web browser you are using. These cookies process certain information about you on an individual basis, such as your browser or location data, or your IP address.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure, as it enables, for example, the display of our website in different languages or the provision of a shopping cart function.
The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that these cookies process data for the purpose of initiating or fulfilling a contract.
If the processing does not serve the purpose of initiating or fulfilling a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis in this case is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
These session cookies are deleted when you close your web browser.

b) Third-party cookies
Our website may also use cookies from partner companies with which we collaborate for the purposes of advertising, analysis, or to provide functionality on our website.
For details on this, particularly regarding the purposes and legal bases for processing such third-party cookies, please refer to the information below.

c) Options for Disabling Cookies
You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by adjusting your web browser settings. You can also delete cookies that have already been stored at any time. However, the steps and measures required to do so depend on the specific web browser you are using. If you have any questions, please consult your web browser’s help function or documentation, or contact its manufacturer or support team. However, for so-called Flash cookies, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash Player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific Flash Player you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Flash Player or contact the manufacturer or user support.

However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may result in not all features of our website being fully usable.
