The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) if this has been requested.

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising. Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.

(https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”). This involves the creation of pseudonymized usage profiles and the use of cookies. The information generated about your use of this website, e.g. browser type/version, operating system, referrer URL, IP address, time of server request, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of our website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and demand-oriented design of these web pages. If necessary, data is transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of such third parties. In no case will your IP address be merged with other data from Google. By anonymizing the IP addresses, an assignment is not possible, so-called IP masking.

The installation of cookies can be prevented by a corresponding setting of the browser software; however, we would like to point out that then not all functions of our site can be used to their full extent.

The collection of 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 can also be prevented by downloading and installing a BROWSER ADD-ON (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

Alternatively, you can avert the collection by Google Analytics by clicking on this link. This will insert a so-called opt-out cookie, which prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website. However, the opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our site and is stored on your device. If the cookies are removed from your browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.
