Thank you for your interest in our online store. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about the handling of your data.

1. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time a webpage is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which includes, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, transmitted data volume, and the requesting provider (access data), documenting the access.

These access data are evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the site and improving our online presence. According to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in presenting our online presence correctly within the scope of a balancing of interests. All access data are deleted at the latest seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

Hosting Services by a Third Party
As part of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider renders services for us for hosting and displaying the website. All data collected during the use of this website or in designated forms, as described below, are processed on their servers. Processing on other servers only occurs within the framework explained here.

This service provider is located within a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area.

2. Cookies and Web Analysis

In order to make your visit to our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, display suitable products, or for market research, we use so-called cookies on various pages. This serves to safeguard our predominant legitimate interests in optimally presenting our offerings in the context of a balance of interests, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Cookies are small text files that are automatically 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).

You can find the duration of storage in the overview in your web browser’s cookie settings.

As part of the use of Google Analytics (see below) on this website, we also use the so-called DoubleClick cookie, which allows your browser to be recognized when visiting other websites. The information automatically generated by the cookie about your visit to this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The IP address is shortened before transmission within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area by activating IP anonymization on this website. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

Google will use this information to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website usage. This serves to safeguard our predominant legitimate interests in optimal marketing of our website in the context of a balance of interests, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Once the purpose is fulfilled and the use of Google DoubleClick by us ends, the data collected in this context will be deleted.

Google DoubleClick is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, a company registered and operating under Irish law with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (www.google.co.uk).

An up-to-date certificate can be viewed [here](https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI). For companies certified under the Privacy Shield, an adequate level of data protection is determined based on the agreements between the USA and the European Commission and Switzerland.

Alternatively, you can click on this link to prevent the collection by Google Analytics on this website in the future. An opt-out cookie will be stored on your device. If you delete your cookies, you will need to click the link again.

This website also uses Google Signals. This is an extension function of Google Analytics that enables so-called “Cross-Device Tracking.” This means that to the extent your internet-enabled devices are linked to your Google account, Google can create reports on usage behavior (especially cross-device user numbers), even if you switch devices. For this purpose, Google uses data as far as you have activated the “personalized advertising” setting in your Google account.
This serves to protect our predominantly legitimate interests in an optimized presentation of our offer in the context of a balancing of interests according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
We do not process personal data in this regard; we only receive statistics created based on Google Signals.
