COOKIES
Some of the web pages on this site use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our website 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 at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit.
You can configure your browser so that you are notified when cookies are set and can choose to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, block the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
Cookies that are necessary for the execution of the electronic communication process or for the provision of specific functions requested by you (e.g. the shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically fault-free and optimised provision of its services. Where other cookies (e.g. cookies used to analyse your browsing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.

4. Social media presence
We operate our own pages on social media platforms in order to communicate with users active on those platforms and to provide information about our services.
We would like to point out that this may involve the processing of users’ data outside the European Union. This may entail risks for users, as it could, for example, make it more difficult to enforce their rights. With regard to US providers certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they are thereby obliged to comply with EU data protection standards.
In addition, users’ data is processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles may be created based on users’ behaviour and the resulting interests. These usage profiles may in turn be used, for example, to display advertisements both on and off the platforms that are presumed to correspond to users’ interests. For these purposes, cookies are stored on users’ computers, in which users’ usage behaviour and interests are recorded. Furthermore, data may also be stored in the usage profiles regardless of the devices used by the users.
Furthermore, data may also be stored in the usage profiles regardless of the devices used by the users.</p>
The processing of users’ personal data is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests in providing users with effective information and communicating with them, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If users are asked by the respective providers to consent to data processing (i.e. to give their consent, for example, by ticking a box or clicking a button), the legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7 of the GDPR.
For a detailed description of the respective processing activities and the options for objecting (opt-out), please refer to the information provided by the providers via the links below.
In the case of requests for information and the exercise of users’ rights, we would also like to point out that these can most effectively be exercised directly with the providers. Only the providers have access to users’ data and can take appropriate action and provide information directly. Should you nevertheless require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
