Data submitted via the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or there is no longer a need to store the data. Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. They help make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure.

Some cookies are “session cookies.” These are automatically deleted after your browser session ends. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies help us recognize you when you return to our website.

Modern browsers allow you to monitor, restrict, or prevent cookie setting. Many browsers can be configured to automatically delete cookies when the program is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

The setting of cookies necessary for electronic communications or certain desired functions (e.g., shopping cart) is based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for technically error-free and optimized delivery of our services. If other cookies are set (e.g., for analytics), they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.

Google Analytics

Our website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider of this service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses “cookies.” These are text files stored on your device that enable analysis of website usage. Information generated by cookies about your use of this website is transmitted to a Google server, usually in the USA, and stored there.

The setting of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize our website and advertising.

IP Anonymization

We use Google Analytics in conjunction with IP anonymization. This ensures that Google shortens your IP address within EU member states or other countries that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. In exceptional cases, the full IP address may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide us with further services related to website usage and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent your browser from setting cookies. However, some website functions may be limited as a result. You can also prevent the collection of data related to your website usage, including your IP address, and its processing by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at:

Data Processing Agreement

To fully comply with legal data protection requirements, we have signed a data processing agreement with Google.

Demographic Features in Google Analytics

Our website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows the generation of reports that include information on the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. These data come from interest-based advertising by Google and from third-party visitor data. It is not possible to associate the data with a specific individual. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or by generally prohibiting the collection of your data by Google Analytics as explained in the section “Objection to Data Collection.”
