Privacy and Cookie Policy

We attach great importance to the protection of your data and the protection of your privacy. We therefore inform you below about the collection and use of personal data when using our website.

Anonymous data collection:
You can visit our website without providing any personal information. In this context, we store no personal data. In order to improve our offer, we only evaluate statistical data that do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.

Collection, processing and use of personal data:
We collect personal data (individual information about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person) only to the extent made available to you. Your personal data is processed and used to fulfill and process your order and to process your inquiries.
After the contract has been fully processed, all personal data will initially be stored, taking into account the retention periods under tax and commercial law, and then deleted after the deadline has expired.

Use of the email address for sending newsletters:
Irrespective of contract processing, we use your e-mail address exclusively for our own advertising purposes for sending the newsletter, provided you have expressly consented to this.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the corresponding link in the newsletter or by sending us a message. You can find the contact details for this in our imprint. Your email address will be deleted afterwards.
In the case of the newsletter, we use your e-mail address exclusively for our own advertising purposes to send direct mail, regardless of contract processing. If you do not agree to this, you can object to its use at any time. The objection can be declared by any means of communication, not only by e-mail. But it must go to us in order to take effect. This means that there are no other costs than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. The contact details for exercising the objection can be found in our imprint. You can also use the corresponding link in the newsletter for this purpose. Your email address will then be deleted.


Disclosure of personal data:
Your data will not be passed on to a third party without your express consent. The only exceptions to this are our service partners, which we need to process the contractual relationship, such as the shipping services. In these cases, we strictly observe the requirements of the Federal Data Protection Act. The amount of data transmission is limited to a minimum.


Cookies:
Our Internet pages use several places of so-called cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. They serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Furthermore, cookies enable our systems to recognize your browser and to offer you services. Cookies do not contain personal data.

Use of Google Adwords conversion tracking:
We use the online advertising program “Google AdWords” and conversion tracking as part of Google AdWords. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google").

If you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie will be placed on your computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification.

If you visit certain web pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. As a result, there is no way that cookies can be tracked through AdWords advertisers' websites.

The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Here, customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by preventing the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly (deactivation option). You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Further information and Google's data protection declaration can be found at: http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

Even in the case of interactions that are possible with the various Google plugins, the relevant information about you is collected and transmitted to Google and stored.
