3) Cookies
In order to make the visit to our website attractive and to enable the use of certain features, we use cookies on various pages. A cookie is a small text file that is stored by your browser on the hard disk of your terminal. Some cookies are deleted after the end of the browsing session, i.e. after you close your browser (“session cookies”). Other cookies remain on your terminal and enable our company and our partners (third-party cookies) to recognise your browser the next time you visit (persistent cookies). If cookies are used, they collect and process user-specific information such as browser data, location data or IP address values individually. Persistent cookies are, however, automatically and systematically deleted after a predetermined period of time, which may vary depending on the nature of the cookie.
In some cases, cookies are used to simplify the ordering process by allowing certain settings to be saved (for example, by storing the contents of a virtual shopping cart for a later visit). In the event that personal data is processed by the cookies we use, the processing is carried out in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for the performance of the contract or, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, to safeguard our legitimate interest in providing our website with the best possible functionality and to enable a user-friendly and efficient configuration of the website.
We work with advertising partners who help us to make our website more attractive. To this end, cookies from partner companies are also stored on your hard drive when you visit our website (“third-party cookies”). The following provides separate and individual information on the respective use of this type of cookie and the scope of the information collected.
Please note that you can set your browser to inform you about the presence of cookies and to allow you to decide individually whether to accept or reject them on a case-by-case basis or in general.

4) Contact
Personal data is collected when you contact our services (e.g. via the contact form or by e-mail). The data collected via the contact form can be viewed from the same form. This data is stored and used for the sole purpose of responding to your enquiry and to enable contact to be made and the corresponding technical administration to be carried out. The processing of data is carried out, where applicable, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in responding to your request.
In addition, if the purpose of your contact is to conclude a contract, your data will be processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Once the final processing of your request has been completed, i.e. if it can be deduced from the circumstances that the situation has been definitively clarified and there is no legal obligation to retain it, your data will be deleted immediately.
5) Processing of data when opening a customer account and in the context of the execution of the contract
In accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, personal data may also be collected and processed if you provide it to us for the performance of a contract or for the opening of a customer account. The data collected can be viewed on the same form. You can delete your customer account at any time by contacting the data controller at the above address.
We store and use the data you have provided for the execution of contracts. After the contract has been fully executed or after your customer account has been deleted, your data will be blocked for tax and business retention periods and then deleted after these periods have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or a legally permissible further use has been provided for by our website and is detailed in the following.
6) Use of your data for marketing purposes
If you subscribe to our newsletter, you will be regularly informed about our offers. The only information required to send the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of any other data is optional and can only be used to contact you personally. We use the so-called “simple opt-in” procedure for sending our newsletter. This means that you will only receive our newsletter by e-mail if you have given your express consent to receive it.
When you register for the newsletter, we record the IP address provided by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration so that we can trace any possible misuse of your e-mail address at a later date. The data we collect when you register for our newsletter will be used exclusively for advertising purposes and through our newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided or by sending a message to the above-mentioned controller. After unsubscribing, your e-mail address will be deleted from our mailing list immediately, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or a legally permissible further use has been provided for in this declaration.
7) Web analysis service
11.1 Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses small text files stored on your computer (“cookies”) to help us analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the “_anonymizeIp()” extension. This extension anonymises the IP address by shortening it and thus excludes any direct personal link to the user.
As a result of the extension, your IP address will be abbreviated by Google in the Member States of the European Union or in the countries that have signed the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases may the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and then abbreviated there. In this case, the data will be processed in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) for our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behaviour and for optimisation and marketing purposes.
Google will use this information on our behalf to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with further services related to website use. The anonymised IP address transmitted by your browser as part of the Google Analytics service will not be combined with any other data held by Google.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. In this case, you may not be able to use all the features of this website.
You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing the data about your use of the website (including your IP address) that is generated by the aforementioned cookie by installing the browser plug-in available under the following link

So if you delete your cookies in the browser, you will have to click on this link again):

14.2 RIGHT TO OBJECT
IF WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE LEGITIMATE AND COMPELLING REASONS FOR DOING SO THAT OVERRIDE YOUR OWN INTERESTS, YOU MAY OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING.
IF WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA IN THE BELIEF THAT THERE ARE LEGITIMATE AND COMPELLING GROUNDS FOR DOING SO WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR OWN INTERESTS, YOU MAY OBJECT TO SUCH PROCESSING AT ANY TIME ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.
IF YOU EXERCISE THIS RIGHT OF OBJECTION, THE PROCESSING OF THE DATA CONCERNED WILL CEASE IMMEDIATELY. HOWEVER, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE PROCESSING IF WE CAN PROVE THAT THE CONTINUED PROCESSING IS JUSTIFIED ON LEGITIMATE AND IMPERATIVE GROUNDS WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE CONTINUED PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.
WHERE WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF CANVASSING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA FOR SUCH CANVASSING PURPOSES IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED ABOVE.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING FOR MARKETING PURPOSES, YOUR DATA WILL NO LONGER BE PROCESSED FOR SUCH PURPOSES.
9) Retention period of personal data
The retention period of personal data is determined by the applicable legal retention period (e.g. commercial and tax retention periods).
After the expiry of these periods, the corresponding data will be systematically and regularly deleted, provided that they are no longer necessary for the execution or initiation of the contract and/or that there is no longer a legitimate interest in their retention.
