In the structure of our Privacy Policy, we differentiate between Technically Required Cookies, Statistics Cookies and Social Media Content from Third Party Providers.

Depending on their function and purpose, the use of certain cookies may require the user’s consent. Your consent is given through a so-called “cookie banner“: When you visit our website, we display our cookie banner. In our cookie banner you can declare your consent to the use of all cookies requiring consent on this website by clicking on the “Accept” button. Without such consent, the cookies requiring consent are not activated. By clicking the “Close” button, you can also completely reject the use of cookies requiring consent.

In the cookie board, you can make an individual selection of cookies and customize them at a later time. We store your cookie settings in the form of a cookie on your device in order to determine whether you have already made cookie settings the next time you visit the website.

a) Google Analytics

If you have given your consent, we use the web analysis tool Google Analytics on our website. With the help of Google Analytics, we can analyze the user behaviour of visitors to our website in pseudonymized and anonymised form.

You can deactivate the data processing by Google Analytics at any time in our “cookie board“. Alternatively, you can install a browser plug-in from Google which prevents data collection by Google Analytics: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

The purpose of data processing is to analyze user behaviour and to measure the reach of our website and advertisements to optimize our website.

The processed data are:

  • Google Analytics HTTP data: This is protocol data that is generated for technical reasons when using the web analysis tool Google Analytics via the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (Secure) (HTTP(S)) used on the website: This includes IP address, type and version of your Internet browser, operating system used, the page visited, the page previously visited (referrer URL), date and time of the visit.
  • Google Analytics device data: Data generated by the web analysis tool Google Analytics and assigned to your device: This includes a unique ID for the (re-)recognition of returning visitors (so-called “client ID”) as well as certain technical parameters for controlling data collection for web analysis.
  • Google Analytics measurement data: Device-related raw data (so-called “dimensions” and ” measurement results”), which are collected and analysed by the web analysis tool Google Analytics when using our website: This includes, above all, information about the sources through which visitors reach our website, information about the location, the browser and the device used, information about the use of the website (in particular page views, frequency of visits and length of stay on accessed pages) as well as information about the fulfilment of certain purposes (in particular transactions in the online shop). The data is assigned to the client ID assigned to your device. As a result, device-related usage profiles are created in which all device-related raw data is combined into a client ID. The data that we collect using Google Analytics does not enable us to identify you personally (i.e. by your civil name). We also do not merge the device-related raw data and the resulting device-related usage profiles with data that directly identifies you personally without your consent.
  • Google Analytics report data: Data contained in aggregated segment and device-related reports generated by the Google Analytics web analysis tool based on the analysis of device-related raw data.

The legal basis for the processing is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent).

Data is automatically transmitted by the browser of the user.

The recipient of the data is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, which we use as processor within the framework of a data processing agreement. Google Ireland Limited uses Google LLC in the USA (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) as its service provider. The basis for data processing in the USA is your consent granted through the cookie banner (Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR). In the USA, there is no level of data protection comparable to the provisions of the GDPR. It is possible that US authorities may access personal data without us or you being informed. An enforcement of your rights is probably not possible in the USA. You can withdraw your given consent at any time with effect for the future through the Cookie Board.

The data will be deleted after 14 months.

The provision of data is not required by law or contract or necessary for the conclusion of a contract. There is no obligation on the data subject to provide the data. If the data is not provided, we cannot make web analysis using Google Analytics.
