Cookies
Our website uses cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, 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 in your device's memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use (such as the shopping cart) are stored pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f of DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyze your surfing behavior) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server Log Files

- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request

Contact Form
If you send us questions via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the request and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your consent.
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is thus exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

The input data will only be used for the purpose of using the respective site or service for which you have registered.

Comment Data Retention
The comments and the associated data (e.g., IP address) are stored and remain on our website until the content commented upon has been completely deleted or the comments are required to be removed for legal reasons (e.g., offensive comments).

We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary for contract processing, for example, to the company entrusted with the delivery of the goods or the bank responsible for processing the payment. Any further transfer of data will not occur or will only occur if you have expressly consented to the transfer. Your data will not be transferred to third parties without explicit consent, for example for advertising purposes.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.
5. Analysis Tools and Advertising
Google Analytics

You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, we would like to point out that doing so may mean you will not be able to enjoy the full functionality of this website.

This site uses so-called web fonts, provided by Google, for the uniform representation of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our plugin. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.
