We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by e-mail) may have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal notification by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

3. DATA COLLECTION ON OUR WEBSITE
Cookies
The internet pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective 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 stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Cookies that are required for the execution of the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain functions requested by you (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this data protection declaration.
YouTube
Our website uses plugins from the YouTube site operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited.
If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
For more information on the handling of user data, please refer to YouTube’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy.
Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO, which allows the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Contact form and callback form
The personal data that you provide to us in the context of these contact inquiries will only be used to answer your inquiry or to contact you and for the associated technical administration. The data will not be passed on to third parties.
You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. In this case, your personal data will be deleted immediately.
You can inform yourself about the data stored about your person at any time.
4. Plugins & Tools
Google Analytics
Use of Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to analyze website usage. The data obtained is used to optimize our website and advertising measures.
Google Analytics is provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google processes the data about website usage on our behalf and contractually obligates itself to take measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of the processed data.
During your website visit, the following data is recorded:
Pages visited
Orders including turnover and ordered products
The achievement of “website goals” (e.g., contact inquiries and newsletter registrations)
Your behavior on the pages (e.g., length of stay, clicks, scrolling behavior)
Your approximate location (country and city)
Your IP address (in shortened form, so that no clear assignment is possible)
Technical information such as browser, internet provider, end device, and screen resolution
Source of your visit (i.e., through which website or through which advertising medium you came to us)
Personal data such as name, address, or contact details is never transmitted to Google Analytics.
These data are transferred to servers of Google in the USA. We would like to point out that in the USA, data protection regulations may not offer the same level of protection as within the EU.
Google Analytics stores cookies in your web browser for a period of two years from your last visit. These cookies contain a randomly generated user ID that allows you to be recognized when you visit the website again in the future.
The recorded data is stored together with the randomly generated user ID, which enables the evaluation of pseudonymous user profiles. These user-related data are automatically deleted after 14 months. Other data remains stored in aggregated form indefinitely.
If you do not agree to the collection, you can prevent it with the one-time installation of the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics or by rejecting the cookies via our cookie settings dialog.
