If you wish to view our website, we collect the following information that is technically necessary for us in order to display our website and to ensure its stability and security.

7. Website analysis
For purposes of analysing and optimising our websites, we use various services, which are presented below. For example, we can analyse how many people visit our site, which information is most requested, or how people find it. Among other things, we collect data on the website from which a person came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for long a subpage was viewed. This helps us to design and improve our offers in a user-friendly way. The data collected is not used to personally identify individual users. Anonymous or at most pseudonymous data is collected.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
7.1 Google Analytics
We use the following technology from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”):
This website uses Google Analytics. On behalf of the host of this website, Google will evaluate your use of the website to compile reports on website activity and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website host.
Since the resolution of the Hamburg Commissioner for Data Privacy and Freedom of Information with Google on the basis of the decision of the Düsseldorf working group for the privacy-compliant design of analysis methods for measuring range in Internet offers, a privacy-compliant and complaint-free use of Google Analytics is possible under certain conditions. We naturally adhere to these requirements. In particular, we draw your attention to the fact that Google Analytics has been extended with the code “gat._anonymizeIp ();” on this website in order to ensure an anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). Your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and truncated there. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. For more information about Terms of Use and Privacy, please visit https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/.
Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate setting in your browser; in which case, however, we point out that you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. In addition, you can prevent the collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser add-on. Clicking here will set an opt-out cookie that will prevent future collection of your information when you visit this site: disable Google Analytics.
The legal basis for the use is § 15 subsection 3 German Teleservices Act (TMG) and Art. 6 subsection 1 f GDPR.
8. Data transmission
As a rule, we never transfer your data to third parties, unless we are legally obliged to do so, or the data transfer is necessary for the execution of the contractual relationship or you have previously expressly consented to the forwarding of your data.
External service providers and partner companies, such as the shipping company commissioned with the delivery only receive your data if this is necessary for the processing of your request. In these cases, however, the amount of data transmitted is limited to the minimum required. Insofar as our service providers come into contact with your personal data, we ensure within the scope of order processing pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR that they comply with the provisions of data protection laws in the same way. Please also note the respective privacy policies of the providers. The respective service provider is responsible for the content of third-party services, whereby we check – within the bounds of what is reasonable – the services for their compliance with legal requirements.
We attach great importance to processing your data within the EU / EEA.
9. Data security
We have taken extensive technical and operational safeguards to protect your data from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. Our security procedures are regularly reviewed and adapted in line with technological progress.
