Privacy and cookies

1. Protection and safety

The protection of your personal data and privacy is very important to us. With this declaration, we would like to inform you about the way in which we process your personal data.

2. What is personal data?

According to the law, “personal data” (currently § 3 Section 1 of the German Civil Code) is defined as “any information concerning the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person” (data subject). This concerns, for example, information such as name, address, e-mail address or any other information that can be attributed to a natural person.

3. Cookies

We use cookies to make the browsing and use of our site as user-friendly as possible. Cookies are small files containing information that are stored on your hard drive when you retrieve the offer. We require cookies to identify and authorise you once you are logged in to the protected area for the duration of your visit. However, cookies are also used to store visitors’ preferences. This enables us to tailor the contents of our website to your needs in a targeted manner in order to improve our offer to you. With cookies, we cannot make any reference to users. You can at any time disable the option to store cookies in your browser’s system settings and delete existing cookies. Every user can also access this offer without cookies. However, if you do not accept any cookies, this may reduce some of the functions of our offer.

Some of the cookies we use are automatically deleted from your hard disk after the browser session has ended (session cookies). Session cookies are, for example, necessary to offer you the shopping cart function on several pages. Furthermore, we also use cookies that will remain on your hard drive for a certain period of time after the browser session has ended (between one day and five years, depending on the cookie). When you next visit, our system will automatically recognise which country and language you selected the last time you logged on. These persistent cookies will be stored on your hard drive and deleted after the period set by the browser. The cookies may, however, be those of a third party supplier.
