3. Data collection on our website
Cookies
Some of the web pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm 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.
The majority of the cookies we utilize are known as ‘session cookies’. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
You can configure your browser so that you are notified when cookies are set and can choose to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, block cookies in specific cases or generally, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Cookies that are necessary for the execution of the electronic communication process or for the provision of specific functions requested by you (e.g. the shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically fault-free and optimised provision of its services. Where other cookies (e.g. cookies used to analyse your browsing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.
Server Log Files
The page provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- browser type and browser version
- operating system used
- referrer URL
- host name of the accessing computer
- time of the server request
- IP address
This data is not combined with any other data sources.
The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the purpose of performing a contract or taking steps prior to entering into a contract.
Contact Form
If you submit inquiries through our contact form, we will store the information you provide, including your contact details, for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore carried out solely on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of any data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal of consent remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
We will keep your contact form data until you request its deletion, revoke your consent, or the purpose for its storage is no longer relevant (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.
4. Analytics tools and advertising
Matomo
This website uses a web analytics service provided by the following provider: InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand (‘Matomo’). The service is hosted on a dedicated server in Germany.
To protect site visitors, Matomo uses a so-called “config_id” to enable various analyses of site usage within a short time window of up to 24 hours. The site’s “config_id” is a randomly set, time-limited hash of a limited set of the visitor’s settings and attributes. The “config_id” or “config hash” is a string that is calculated for a visitor based on their operating system, browser, browser plugins, IP address, and browser language. Matomo does not use device fingerprinting and uses an anonymized IP address of the site visitor to create the “config_id”.
Where the information processed in this way includes personal user data, such processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behaviour for optimisation and marketing purposes. To object to the processing of your visitor data in future, we provide a separate option to object on our website.
Applicable Law
The applicable law is exclusively that of the Federal Republic of Germany.
