You can configure your browser so that you are notified about the saving of cookies and allow these only in individual cases, accept cookies for certain cases or generally prohibit them, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
Cookies, which are necessary for execution of the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain functions desired by you (e.g. shopping basket function), are stored on the basis of Art. 6, para 1. lit f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in “server log files”, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This information is:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data will not be merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

If you send us enquiries using the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including any contact data you provided, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in anticipation of follow-up questions. We will not pass this data on without your consent.
The processing of data entered in the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal notification by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out prior to revocation remains unaffected by it.
The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (for example after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
