COOKIES
Some of the internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer 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 after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to store cookies has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing takes place exclusively based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

Insofar as other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, they are treated separately in this privacy policy.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.

REQUEST BY EMAIL, PHONE, OR FAX
If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not share this data without your consent.

5. ANALYSIS TOOLS AND ADVERTISING
GOOGLE ANALYTICS
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies." These are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies and the use of this analysis tool are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. If appropriate consent has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing will be carried out exclusively based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

IP Anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

Browser Plugin
You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to fully use all the functions of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Objection to Data Collection
You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set, which prevents the collection of your data during future visits to this website: Deactivate Google Analytics.

More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

Order Processing
We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Storage Duration
Data stored by Google on user and event levels that are linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g., User ID), or advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) will be anonymized or deleted after 14 months. For details, see the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=en.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS REMARKETING
This website uses the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in combination with the cross-device capabilities of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

This function enables the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing to be linked with the cross-device capabilities of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been tailored to you based on your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC).

If you have given the corresponding consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google account for this purpose. This allows the same personalized advertising messages to be displayed on every device you log in to with your Google account.

To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target groups for cross-device advertising.

You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google account; follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The aggregation of the collected data in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you can give to Google or revoke (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). For data collection processes not merged into your Google account (e.g., because you do not have a Google account or have objected to merging), the data collection is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

Further information and the privacy policy can be found in Google's privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en.

GOOGLE ADS AND GOOGLE CONVERSION TRACKING
This website uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program by Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

As part of Google Ads, we use conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is set. Cookies are small text files that the internet browser places on the user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to identify users personally. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.

If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of "conversion cookies" and the use of this tracking tool are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. If appropriate consent has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing will be carried out exclusively based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

More information about Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

FACEBOOK PIXEL
This website uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook to measure conversion. The provider of this service is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook, the collected data is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.

This tool allows the behavior of page visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and to optimize future advertising campaigns.

The collected data is anonymous for us as the operators of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so it is possible to link it to the respective user profile, and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook's data use policy. This allows Facebook to display ads on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as the site operator.

The use of Facebook Pixel is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media. If appropriate consent has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing will be carried out exclusively based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

In Facebook's privacy policy, you will find more information on protecting your privacy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

You can also deactivate the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" in the ad settings section at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. To do this, you must be logged into Facebook.

If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

NEWSLETTER DATA
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and agree to receive the newsletter. Further data will not be collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke the consent given to store the data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing processes already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

NEWSLETTER2GO
This website uses Newsletter2Go for sending newsletters. The provider is Newsletter2Go GmbH, Nürnberger Straße 8, 10787 Berlin, Germany.

Newsletter2Go is a service with which the dispatch of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. The data entered by you for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored on the servers of Newsletter2Go in Germany.

If you do not want any analysis by Newsletter2Go, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

Data analysis by Newsletter2Go
With the help of Newsletter2Go, we are able to analyze our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see whether a newsletter message was opened and which links may have been clicked. In this way, we can determine, among other things, which links were clicked most often.

We can also recognize whether certain predefined actions were performed after opening/clicking (conversion rate). For example, we can see whether you made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter.

Newsletter2Go also allows us to divide the newsletter recipients into different categories ("clustering"). This allows the newsletters to be better adapted to the respective target groups.

Detailed information on the functions of Newsletter2Go can be found at the following link: https://www.newsletter2go.de/features/newsletter-software/.

Legal basis
Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. The legality of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

Storage duration
The data you provide to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from both our servers and those of Newsletter2Go after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.

For more details, please refer to the data protection provisions of Newsletter2Go at: https://www.newsletter2go.de/features/datenschutz-2/.
