We use cookies (the basis for making visiting our website attractive and enabling the use of certain functions). These are small text files that are stored on your computer. Cookies are used (e.g.) to support:
The following content is logged:
The use is to protect our legitimate interest in optimising and operating our website economically (Art. 6 para. 1 lit f DSGVO) or because you have consented to the use (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Most of the cookies used are deleted from the hard drive at the end of the browser session (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your computer and enable us to recognize your computer the next time you visit (so-called long-term cookies). External third parties are not permitted to collect, process or use personal data via our website using cookies. You can set your browser so that you are notified when cookies are set. You can then decide whether to accept cookies on a case-by-case basis or generally exclude the acceptance of cookies. If you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.
When you first visit our website, you will be asked whether you agree to the integration of cookies. If you do not agree, cookies will not be used for your visit. In turn, we use a cookie (cookieDisAllowed) to ensure that cookies are removed during your visits (including in the future). This cookie has a duration of 30 days; after expiration, the cookie is deleted the next time you visit our website, at your option, or the duration is renewed.
1./ Use of Google Analytics
This website uses features of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (Google), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics allows us to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In doing so, we receive various usage data, such as page views, operating systems used and the user's origin. Google occasionally summarizes this data in a profile that is assigned to the respective user or their device. We have no influence on this. Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the user to be recognized for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g. cookies).
Our website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the “anonymizeIp ()” extension. This anonymizes the IP address by abbreviating this address. Direct personal reference is thus prevented. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website activity and Internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to Google LLC servers in the USA and abbreviated there.
Processing for the purpose of reading information on the device used takes place only if the user has given us express consent to do so in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR and, insofar as data is transferred to the USA, in accordance with Article 49 GDPR. We will not use Google Analytics without consent.
You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case, it is likely that not all functionalities of our website will be fully available. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to the use of our website and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).
For more information about Google Analytics, visit: http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html.
2./ Google Maps
On our website, we use the interactive map from Google Maps, a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (Google). When you visit the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This is done regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in, or whether there is no user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data is directly associated with your account. If you do not want to be associated with your profile on Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as user profiles and uses them for advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide appropriate advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, although you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google as part of using Google Maps, you have the option to completely deactivate Google Maps by turning off the JavaScript application in your browser. You will then no longer be able to use Google Maps on our website. Processing only takes place if the user has given us express consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR and, insofar as there is a transfer of data to the USA, in accordance with Article 49 GDPR. We will not use Google Analytics without consent. You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case it is likely that not all functionalities of our website will be fully available. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to the use of our website and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). Further information and Google's privacy policy can be found at: www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
3./ Google reCAPTCHA
On our website, we use the reCAPTCHA function, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (Google). This function makes it possible to differentiate whether an input is made by a natural person or misused by machine and automated processing. The service also includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. The data is processed to protect our legitimate interest in optimising and operating our website economically (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR). Further information and Google's privacy policy can be found at: www.google.de/policies/privacy/. Processing takes place (to the extent necessary) only if the user has given us express consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR and, insofar as data is transferred to the USA, in accordance with Article 49 GDPR. We cannot use the reCAPTCHA function without consent.
4./ Google Optimize
We use Google Optimize, a service from Google (“Google Optimize”). Google Optimize analyses the use of different variants of the website so that we are able to adapt the usability to the behavior of website users. Google Optimize is a tool integrated with Google Analytics and uses cookies.
The IP address received in this way is anonymized immediately after processing. In exceptional cases, the full IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and encrypted there. If data is transferred to the USA in accordance with Art. 49 GDPR, we will obtain your express consent beforehand. The transmitted IP address will not be combined with other data from Google.
You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser accordingly.
However, we would like to point out that in this case not all functions of our website may be fully used. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by cookies and related to your use of the website and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Processing takes place (to the extent necessary) only if the user has given us express consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR and, insofar as data is transferred to the USA, in accordance with Article 49 GDPR.
5./ Google AdWords
We use the online advertising program Google AdWords and conversion tracking as part of Google AdWords. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (Google). When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is stored on your computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days, contain no personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. There is therefore no possibility that cookies can be traced via the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. This tells customers the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by preventing the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly (deactivation option). They will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Further information and Google's privacy policy can be found at: www.google.de/policies/privacy/. You can permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads conversion tracking by downloading and installing the Google browser plug-in available at the following link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de. In this case, it could be that certain functions of this website may not be used or can only be used to a limited extent. To the extent required by law, data is processed on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
6./ Google Web Fonts
We have integrated the Google Fonts Internet service to display fonts on our website. This service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (Google). For integration, it is technically necessary to process your IP address so that the content can be sent to your browser. Your IP address is therefore transmitted to Google. The data is processed to protect our legitimate interest in optimising and operating our website economically (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR). If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.
Further information and Google's privacy policy can be found at: www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
9./ Google Tag Manager
Our website uses Google TagManager, a service from Google. With this tool, so-called tags” (= keywords that are integrated into HTML elements) can be implemented and managed. In this way, it is possible to see which button, link or image you have actively clicked on. No cookies are used and no personal data is collected. Google TagManager is used to make our website easier to use; this represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. Further information and Google's privacy policy can be found at: www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
8./ YouTube
This website includes videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (Google).
We use advanced privacy mode. This is to ensure that the personal data is only saved when the video playback function is started. When you start playing the videos, Google sets “YouTube” cookies to collect information about user behavior. When using these cookies, Google states that it wants to collect video statistics, improve usability and prevent abusive actions. If you are logged in to YouTube, YouTube can immediately associate your visit to our website with your account. Should you also be logged into your YouTube account, you would enable YouTube to associate your surfing behavior directly with your personal profile. If you do not want this, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores (person-related) data (even for users who are not logged in) as user profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation is carried out, in particular, on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interests in displaying personalized advertising, market research and/or designing its website in line with needs. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. When using YouTube, personal data may also be transferred to Google LLC's servers in the USA. For more information about YouTube's privacy policy, please see the provider's privacy policy at: www.google.com/policies/privacy/. To the extent required by law, we have obtained your consent to process your data as described in accordance with Article 6 (1) point a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of withdrawal, please follow the procedure described above. In addition, the data is processed to protect our legitimate interest in the optimization and economic operation of our website (Art. 6 para. 1 f DSGVO) and on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without the data, we cannot offer the service.
9./ Facebook
This website also uses so-called social plug-ins (Facebook plug-ins) from the social network Facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland (Facebook). The Facebook plug-ins can be identified by one of the Facebook logos or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. When you visit a page on our website that contains such a Facebook plug-in, your browser creates a direct connection to Facebook's servers. The content of the Facebook plug-in is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated by it into the website. We therefore have no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects using this Facebook plugin and will therefore inform you based on our knowledge. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page on our website. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can associate the visit with your Facebook account. If you interact with the Facebook plug-ins, for example by pressing the Like button or making a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. If you are not a member of Facebook, it is still possible that Facebook will find out and store your IP address. For the purpose and scope of data collection and further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as your related rights and settings options to protect your privacy, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy (e.g. at https://de-de.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy).
The information generated by Facebook is transferred to Facebook servers and stored there. A transfer to Facebook Inc. servers in the USA is not ruled out. To object to collection by the Facebook pixel and the use of data as a whole, you can set an opt-out cookie by clicking on the following link, which deactivates Facebook pixel tracking:
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="if (typeof fbpOptOut == 'function') { fbpOptOut();} el-se{alert(atob('QUNIVFVORzogRmVobGVuZGVyIEZhY2Vib29rLVBpeGVsIE9wdE91dC1Db2RlIQ==')); }">Deactivate Facebook pixels</a>
This opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain. If you delete your cookies in this browser, you must click on the link above again.
If you are a Facebook member and do not want Facebook to collect data about you via our website and link it to your membership data stored on Facebook, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.
The data is processed to protect our legitimate interest in the optimization and economic operation of our website (Art. 6 para. 1 f DSGVO) and on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 a GDPR)

We also use the social plugins of the Instagram social network (Instagram plugins), which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square Grand Canal Harbourg, Dublin 2, Ireland (Facebook).
When you visit a page on our website that contains such an Instagram plugin, your browser creates a direct connection to Instagram's servers. The content of the Instagram plugin is transmitted directly from Instagram to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Instagram receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged in to Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to an Instagram server and stored there. If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can immediately associate your visit to our website with your Instagram account. If you interact with the Instagram plug-ins, for example by pressing the Instagram button, this information is also transmitted directly to an Instagram server and stored there. The information is also published on your Instagram account and displayed to your contacts there. The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Instagram as well as your related rights and settings options to protect your privacy can be found in Instagram's privacy policy: https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388/

12./ Trusted Shop
The Trusted Shops Trust Badge is integrated on this website to display our Trusted Shops seal of approval and any reviews collected, as well as to offer Trusted Shops products to buyers after an order has been placed. This serves to protect our prevailing legitimate interests in the optimal marketing of our offer in accordance with Article 6 (1) f GDPR. The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are offered by Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne. When you call up the trust badge, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, your IP address, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the retrieval. This access data is not evaluated and is automatically overwritten no later than seven (7) days after the end of your page visit. Further personal data will only be transferred to Trusted Shops if you have consented to this, decide to use Trusted Shops products after completing an order, or have already registered for use. In this case, the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops applies.

When you visit our website, we use the common SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. This is usually 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock icon in the top status bar of your browser and by the fact that there is “https://” in the address bar of your browser.
We also use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are constantly being improved in line with technological developments.
