Our website uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser. Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services provided by third parties within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services). Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. shopping cart functionality or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are required for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions requested by you (e.g. shopping cart functionality), or for optimizing the website (e.g. cookies for measuring website audiences) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, data processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG). Consent may be withdrawn at any time. You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.
