Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, the deletion of the data does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations and no other information is provided below on individual processing procedures.
Cookie Manager
The provider uses a cookie manager to obtain consent for the use of technically unnecessary cookies on the website.
When the website is accessed, a cookie with the settings information is stored on the user’s end device so that the request for consent does not have to be made on a subsequent visit.
The cookie is required to obtain the user’s legally compliant consent.
The user can prevent or terminate the installation of cookies by changing the settings in their browser.
Cookies
a) Session cookies
We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed and stored on your end device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information from you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, to an individual extent.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, more effective and more secure, as the processing makes it possible, for example, to display our website in different languages or to offer a shopping cart function.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b.) GDPR, insofar as these cookies process data for contract initiation or contract processing.
If the processing does not serve to initiate or execute a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
These session cookies are deleted when you close your Internet browser.
b) Third-party cookies
Our website may also use cookies from partner companies with whom we cooperate for the purpose of advertising, analysis or the functionalities of our website.
Please refer to the following information for details, in particular the purposes and legal basis for processing such third-party cookies.

You can prevent or limit the installation of cookies by changing the settings on your Internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been stored at any time. However, the steps and actions required to do so will vary depending on the Internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please consult your Internet browser’s help or documentation, or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, the processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you need to change the settings of your Flash player. The steps and actions required to do this also depend on the specific Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please consult your Flash player’s help or documentation, or contact the manufacturer or user support.
However, if you choose to disable or limit the use of cookies, you may not be able to use the full functionality of our website.

General linking to third-party profiles
The provider uses a link on the website to the social networks listed below.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The Provider’s legitimate interest is to improve the quality of use of the Website.
The plugins are integrated through a linked graphic. The user is simply redirected to the social network’s service by clicking on the graphic.
Once the customer is redirected, the network collects information about the user. Initially, this includes information such as IP address, date, time, and pages visited. If the user is logged into their user account on that network during this time, the network operator may be able to associate the information collected about the user’s specific visit with the user’s personal account. If the user interacts via a “share” button on the particular network, this information may be stored in the user’s personal account and may be made public. If the user wishes to prevent the information collected from being directly associated with the user’s account, the user must log out before clicking on the graphic. It is also possible to configure the user account accordingly.
