4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our web pages use “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not harm your device. They may be stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored until you delete them or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of specific services provided by third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for payment processing services).

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

Cookies necessary for electronic communications, providing certain features you desire (e.g., shopping cart), or optimizing the website (e.g., measuring web audience) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent for the storage of cookies or comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing will be based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG). Consent may be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser to notify you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude acceptance in certain cases or in general, and to automatically delete cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Details on which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this Privacy Policy.

5. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The granted consent to store the data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time, e.g., via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored with us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted after unsubscribing or once the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

After unsubscribing, your email address may be stored in a blacklist to prevent future mailings if necessary. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
