2) Data collection when visiting our website

If you only use our website for information purposes, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called ​“server log files”). When you visit our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

  • the website you visited
  • Date and time of access
  • Amount of data sent in bytes
  • Source/​reference from which you accessed the page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used
  • IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)

The processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website and evaluating system security. The data will not be passed on or used in any other way. Your data will not be used to draw conclusions about you personally. Information of this type is only evaluated statistically in order to optimize our website.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of collection. This is generally the case for the data used to provide the website when the respective browser session is ended.

However, we reserve the right to subsequently check the server log files if there are concrete indications of illegal use.

3) Cookies 

In order to make visiting our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and enable your browser to be recognized the next time you visit (so-called persistent cookies). If cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information to an individual extent, such as browser and location data as well as IP address values. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which can vary depending on the cookie. You can find out how long each cookie is stored for in the overview of the cookie settings in your web browser.

Some of the cookies are used to simplify the ordering process by saving settings (e.g. remembering the contents of a virtual shopping cart for a later visit to the website). If individual cookies we use also process personal data, the processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR either to execute the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR in the event of consent being given, or in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR to protect our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

Each browser differs in the way it manages cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser, which explains how you can change your cookie settings.

7) Web analysis services

Google (Universal) Analytics

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). Google (Universal) Analytics uses so-called ​“cookies”, which are text files saved on your device that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including the shortened IP address) is usually transferred to a Google server and saved there; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the extension ​“_​anonymizeIp()”, which ensures that the IP address is anonymized by shortening it and excludes direct personal reference. Due to the extension, your IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google LLC server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google (Universal) Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR. Without this consent, Google Analytics will not be used during your visit to the website.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics, which obliges Google to protect the data of our website visitors and not to pass it on to third parties.

For the transmission of data from the EU to the USA, Google relies on so-called standard data protection clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European data protection level in the USA.
