3. Collecting Data on Our Website
Cookies
Some of the Internet sites use what are referred to as cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer or contain any viruses. The purpose of cookies is to make our service more user-friendly, effective and safe. Cookies are small text files that are saved on your computer by your browser.
Most of the cookies used by us are so-called “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies continue to be stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit.
You can set your browser to inform you whenever cookies are set and to only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, only accept cookies for certain cases or generally exclude or automatically delete cookies when you close your browser. The functionality of this website may be restricted if cookies are deactivated.
Cookies that are required for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions desired by you (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a justified interest in storing cookies for the purpose of rendering its services in a technically flawless and optimised manner. If other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your surfing behaviour) are stored, they will be dealt with separately in this data protection declaration.
Server Log Files
The provider of the sites automatically collects and stores information in what are called server log files, which are sent to us automatically by your browser. They include the following information:
• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server query
• IP address
This data will not be combined with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the purpose of fulfilling a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Contact Form
If you use the contact form to send us enquiries, we will store the information you give us on the question form along with the contact data you provide for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case you have any follow-up questions. We will not forward this data without your consent.
The data entered in the contact form is therefore subsequently processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. Informal notification by email will be sufficient for this. The legality of the data processing operations that have taken place up to the time of your withdrawal will not be affected.
We will retain the data provided by you on the contact form until you demand that it be deleted or withdraw your consent to store it or if the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (such as after we have fully processed your enquiry). Any mandatory legal provisions – in particular, periods of retention – will not be affected by this.
5. Analytical Tools and Advertising
Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the Google Analytics web analysis service. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses what are known as “cookies”. These are text files stored on your computer that make it possible to analyse your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie concerning your use of this website is typically transferred to a server of Google in the USA and stored there.
The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a justified interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its web service as well as its advertising.
IP Anonymisation
We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This results in your IP address to be shortened by Google in Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transferred to the USA. It is only in exceptional cases that the full IP address is transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website in order to compile reports on website activities and to perform other services associated with the use of the website and Internet for the website operator. The IP address communicated by your browser within the context of Google Analytics will not be combined by Google with other data.
Browser Plugin
While you can set your browser software to prevent cookies from being stored, we want to point out to you that this may lead to you being unable to use all of the functions of this website to their full extent. In addition, you can prevent the data generated by the cookies and related to your use of the website (along with your IP address) from being sent to Google and being processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
