Cookies
Cookies are small data files that are transferred to your browser and stored by it on the device you are using when you visit a website. Unique identifiers consisting of a string of characters can be stored in cookies, through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites visited to recognize the browser concerned when a website is called up again.
Cookies can store a wide variety of information, such as browser type, operating system used, language settings or other personal page settings, your use of the website, order information or login information. As a rule, cookies are not used to collect data that directly identify a person. However, information collected with cookies can be assigned to a natural person if it is combined with personal data of this person, such as B. an e-mail address. Basically, two different types of cookies are used on our website.
Session Cookies
Session cookies are used to store information about your activities on our website for the duration of your visit. Session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser.
Permanent Cookies
are stored on your device for a certain period of time so that we can recognize your browser when you visit again within this period. Thanks to these cookies it is possible, among other things, to create pseudonymised user profiles and to show you offers that are specially tailored to your interests. When you visit this website, cookies can be set not only by this website (“first-party cookies”), but also by third-party websites (“third-party cookies”).
Third-party cookies enable third-party features and functions to be provided on or via our website (e.g. advertising, interactive content and analytics). Some of the third-party providers also collect information via our website about which pages you have previously visited or which products you are interested in, for example, in order to be able to show you the advertising that best suits your interests. Detailed information on the third-party technologies & partners used on this website can be found in our privacy policy.
Web Beacons And Similar Technologies
Web beacons (also called tracking pixels, pixel tags or GIFs) are also used on this website. Web beacons are small graphics (approx. 1×1 GIF files) that are embedded in websites or in HTML e-mails and are usually not visible to users. Web beacons are usually used in conjunction with cookies and enable tracking of user interaction with the content of websites or newsletters. With the help of web beacons, we can, for example, determine whether e-mails have been opened or certain links have been clicked, determine certain overall trends and individual usage patterns and generate statistics on the use of the website.
In addition, other technologies may be used that work similarly to cookies and save data in your browser or on your device. You do not have the option of specifically rejecting or deactivating these tracking technologies through your browser settings, but they usually only work in conjunction with cookies. Accordingly, rejecting cookies in your browser will in most cases also lead to the deactivation of these technologies. All of these technologies are hereinafter collectively referred to as “cookies”.
Third Party Provider
We allow third parties to use cookies or similar technologies on this website. These third parties include analytics, ad networks, and other service providers that help us provide, evaluate, and improve this website and our services, and to provide targeted advertising based on your browsing activities and interests.

Data Transfers Outside The Eu
Some of our third party providers are based in a non-EU or non-EEA country. However, we work exclusively with companies that offer an adequate level of data protection in accordance with the stipulations of the GDPR. We also have appropriate agreements to ensure that service providers will take all necessary measures to protect your personal data in accordance with applicable requirements. The transmission of data to service providers in the USA is carried out on the basis of the so-called “standard contractual clauses” of the European Commission. The standard contractual clauses of the European Commission refer to a contract in which the service provider is obliged to protect personal data, in accordance with contractual regulations, to process them on our behalf and, in particular, not to transmit them to third parties.
