Essential Cookies

Our webpage uses cookies. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage on your end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them yourself or an automatic solution is provided by your web browser. Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping basket function, logins, display of videos, country or language selection or for the cookie consent itself).

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 letter f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of his services. If the relevant consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR; consent may be revoked at any time. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited. Insofar as cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you separately about this within the scope of this data protection declaration and, if necessary, request your consent.

Analytical Cookies

We use analytical cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to optimise the user experience (UX) when visiting our website. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already been with us when you visit our site again. They collect information about the use of our website, in particular the following information: Number of visitors to our website (new and repeat visitors), date, time and duration of visits, pages visited, number of visits, number of registrations made by users, users' entry and exit pages, content downloaded, user's browser type, operating system information, location of IP address, browser language setting and source of the visit. This data enables us to gain a better understanding of how our website is used and thus to improve its functionality.

Embedding YouTube videos

• We have integrated YouTube videos into our online offer, which can be played directly from our website.
• By visiting the website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data mentioned in the “Social Media” section of this declaration will be transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube 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 will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based 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, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.
• Further information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing by YouTube can be found in the data protection declaration. There you will also find further information on your rights and setting options to protect your privacy: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

The legal basis for the use of YouTube is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
