Cookie Policy

For questions regarding our cookie policy and the services we use, please contact the responsible entity pursuant to Article 4(7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) using the contact details in our [link to privacy policy]. Imprint. This cookie policy applies to citizens and persons with permanent residence in the European Economic Area and Switzerland.

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies (for simplicity, all of these are referred to as "cookies"). Cookies are also placed by third parties commissioned by us. The document below informs you about the use of cookies on our website.

Summary: We don't like cookies, and just like you, we don't like cookie banners either. That's why we're constantly working to make our website as cookie-free as possible. With the exception of the firewall, login, and form functions, we've largely achieved this. In some cases, even our tracking, which is already anonymized, works entirely without the use of cookies.

Technology

A cookie is a small, simple text file that is sent along with pages from this website and stored by your browser on the hard drive of your computer or other device. The information stored in it can be returned to our servers or to the servers of the relevant third parties on a subsequent visit. Data protection regulations distinguish between three types of cookies. The cookie banner and this cookie policy inform you about the specific cookies used on this website.

  • Technically necessary and functional cookies

    Some cookies ensure that certain parts of the website function correctly and that your user preferences are remembered. By setting functional cookies, we make it easier for you to visit our website. This way, you don't have to repeatedly enter the same information when visiting our website; for example, items remain in your shopping cart until you have paid. We can place these cookies without your consent.

  • Analytical cookies

    We use analytics cookies to optimize the website experience for our users. These cookies provide us with insights into how our website is used. We ask for your permission to set analytical cookies.

  • Marketing / tracking cookies

    Marketing/tracking cookies are cookies or other forms of local storage used to create user profiles in order to display advertisements or to track the user on websites or across multiple websites for similar marketing purposes.

approval

When you visit our website for the first time, we will show you a cookie banner with an option to consent to cookies. Once you click "Accept," you agree that we may use the categories of cookies named in the request.

You can adjust your consent at any time. To do so, simply click on the switch icon, which is displayed at the bottom left of the browser window on every page.

You can also generally disable the use of cookies via your browser, but please note that this and other websites may then no longer function correctly.

Deleting cookies

You can use your internet browser to delete cookies automatically or manually. You can also configure your browser to prevent certain cookies from being placed altogether. Another option is to change your internet browser settings so that you receive a notification each time a cookie is set. For more information on these options, please refer to the help section of your browser.

Please note that our website may not function correctly if all cookies are disabled. If you delete the cookies in your browser, they will be placed again after you give your consent when you revisit our websites.
