The website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website and to enable you to be recognized again. Cookies are small text files that are cached on your browser or on your computer’s hard drive whenever you visit our website. Cookies essentially collect information to improve the website and to offer users additional functions on a website (e.g. to enable the user to continue to use the website from where they last left it, to store the user’s preferences and settings if they have recently visited the website, facilitate navigation on the website etc.). Cookies cannot access, read or modify any other data on your computer.

Most of the cookies on this website are ‘session cookies’ (temporary cookies), which are automatically deleted as soon as you leave the website. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain stored on your computer until they are deleted manually in your browser. Our company uses these permanent cookies to recognize your browser the next time you visit the website.

You have a variety of options for managing cookies. For this purpose, you can select your browser settings in such a way that you will be notified whenever a website wants to store cookies. You are further able to block or delete cookies if these have already been stored on your computer. For more information on these management options, please see the manual or the “Help” function in your browser.

4. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., 1600
Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, text files which are stored on your computer and which allow your use of the website to be analyzed. Our company processes your data on the basis of our overriding legitimate interest in a cost-effective manner to produce easy-to-use statistics on website access (Art. 6(1)f GDPR).

The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address and the URLs of the accessed websites) is generally transmitted to Google’s server in the US and stored there. Our company does not store any of your data that is collected in connection with Google Analytics.

Our website uses the option of IP anonymization offered by Google Analytics, so that your IP address is truncated/anonymized by Google as soon as Google receives your IP address. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website in order to compile reports about website activities and to provide us with further services associated with the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address that is transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with any other data.

As already outlined under Point 4, you can prevent cookies from being stored by means of the corresponding setting in your browser software, which may result in you not being able to use all the functions of our website under certain circumstances.

In all cases, our company ensures that third parties only receive personal data to the extent required to fulfill their orders. Some of the aforementioned recipients are located outside the EU or EEA, and the level of data privacy in other countries may not correspond to the level of data privacy in the EU /EEA. Our company transmits your personal data only to those countries where the EU Commission has decided that an appropriate level of data privacy exists, and we take steps to ensure that all recipients have a reasonable level of data privacy (in particular by entering into the standard EU contractual clauses, 2010/97/EC and/or 2004/915/EC). Finally, we can clearly state that your personal data will never be sold to third parties.
