3. Data collection on our website

Cookies

Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your compu­ter and do not contain any viru­ses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, effi­ci­ent, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your compu­ter and saved by your brow­ser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are auto­ma­ti­cally dele­ted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device’s memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possi­ble to reco­gnize your brow­ser when you next visit the site.

You can confi­gure your brow­ser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alter­na­tively, your brow­ser can be confi­gu­red to auto­ma­ti­cally accept cookies under certain condi­ti­ons or to always reject them, or to auto­ma­ti­cally delete cookies when closing your brow­ser. Disab­ling cookies may limit the func­tion­a­lity of this website.

Cookies which are neces­sary to allow elec­tro­nic commu­ni­ca­ti­ons or to provide certain func­tions you wish to use (such as the shop­ping cart) are stored pursu­ant to Art. 6 para­graph 1, letter f of DSGVO. The website opera­tor has a legi­ti­mate inte­rest in the storage of cookies to ensure an opti­mi­zed service provi­ded free of tech­ni­cal errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyze your surfing beha­vior) are also stored, they will be trea­ted sepa­ra­tely in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The website provi­der auto­ma­ti­cally coll­ects and stores infor­ma­tion that your brow­ser auto­ma­ti­cally trans­mits to us in “server log files”. These are:

  • Brow­ser type and brow­ser version
  • Opera­ting system used
  • Refer­rer URL
  • Host name of the acces­sing compu­ter
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

These data will not be combi­ned with data from other sources.

The basis for data proces­sing is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, which allows the proces­sing of data to fulfill a contract or for measu­res preli­mi­nary to a contract.

Contact form

Should you send us ques­ti­ons via the cont­act form, we will coll­ect the data ente­red on the form, inclu­ding the cont­act details you provide, to answer your ques­tion and any follow-up ques­ti­ons. We do not share this infor­ma­tion without your permis­sion.

We will, ther­e­fore, process any data you enter onto the cont­act form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1)(a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time. An infor­mal email making this request is suffi­ci­ent. The data proces­sed before we receive your request may still be legally proces­sed.

We will retain the data you provide on the cont­act form until you request its dele­tion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer perta­ins (e.g. after fulfil­ling your request). Any manda­tory statu­tory provi­si­ons, espe­ci­ally those regar­ding manda­tory data reten­tion peri­ods, remain unaf­fec­ted by this provi­sion.

4. Analysis tools and advertising

WP Statistics

This website uses the analy­sis tool WP Statis­tics to statis­ti­cally evaluate visi­tor access. The provi­der is Vero­nalabs, ARENCO Tower, 27th Floor, Dubai Media City, Dubai, Dubai 23816, UAE (https://veronalabs.com).

With WP Statis­tics we can analyze the use of our website. WP Statis­tics records, among other things: Log files (IP address, refer­rer, brow­ser used, origin of the user, search engine used) and actions that website visi­tors took on the page (e.g. clicks and views).

The data coll­ec­ted with WP Statis­tics is stored exclu­si­vely on our own server.

The use of this analy­sis tool is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legi­ti­mate inte­rest in the anony­mi­zed analy­sis of user beha­vior in order to opti­mize both our website and our adver­ti­sing. If appro­priate consent has been reques­ted, proces­sing is carried out exclu­si­vely on the basis of Article 6 Para­graph 1 Letter a GDPR and Section 25 Para­graph 1 TTDSG, inso­far as the consent requi­res the storage of cookies or access to infor­ma­tion on the user’s end device (e.g . B. Device finger­prin­ting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revo­ked at any time.

IP Anonymization

We use WP Statis­tics with anony­mi­zed IP. Your IP address will be shor­tened so that it can no longer be assi­gned to you directly.
