4. Data Collection on This Website – Cookies
Our website uses so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any harm to your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently stored (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of specific services from third-party providers within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies can be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies required for electronic communication, for providing specific functions requested by you (e.g., shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., audience measurement cookies) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is stated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to store cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is exclusively based on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.

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

Mandatory legal provisions, especially retention periods, remain unaffected.
