1.1 We are pleased that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest. Below we inform you about how we handle your personal information when you use our website. Personal information is any information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked with a particular consumer or household.

2 · COLLECTION OF INFORMATION WHEN VISITING OUR WEBSITE
When you use our website purely for information purposes — i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us — we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files"). When you visit our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:
The website visited
The date and time of access
The amount of data sent in bytes
The source/referrer from which you reached the page
The browser used / The operating system used
The IP address used (where applicable: in anonymized form)
The processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate business interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be passed on or otherwise used. However, we reserve the right to subsequently check the server log files if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.
3 · COOKIES
In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and enable us or our partner companies (third-party cookies) to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies).
When cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information to an individual extent, such as browser and location data as well as IP address values. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie.
In some cases, cookies are used to simplify the ordering process by storing settings (e.g. remembering the contents of a virtual cart for a later visit to the website). Where individual cookies implemented by us also process personal information, the processing is carried out to perform the contract or to protect our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website.
We may work with advertising partners who help us make our website more interesting for you. For this purpose, cookies from partner companies may also be stored on your device when you visit our website (third-party cookies).
| Please note: You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to decide individually about their acceptance, or to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or generally. Each browser differs in the way it manages cookie settings. Please note that the functionality of our website may be limited if cookies are not accepted. |

| 9.1 — Facebook plugins (Shariff solution) |
Our website uses so-called social plugins of the social network Facebook, operated by Meta Platforms Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, these buttons are not integrated as unrestricted plugins, but only using an HTML link. This ensures that no connection is established with Facebook's servers when you access a page of our website that contains such buttons. When you click the button, a new browser window opens and calls up the Facebook page where you can interact with the plugins.
| 9.2 — Google+ plugins (Shariff solution) |
Our website uses social plugins of the social network Google+, operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

| 9.3 — Instagram plugin (Shariff solution) |
Our website uses social plugins of the online service Instagram, operated by Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The same Shariff HTML link solution applies, which ensures that no connection is established with Instagram's servers until you actively click the button.
10 · ONLINE MARKETING
| 10.1 — DoubleClick by Google |
This website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google (Google LLC). DoubleClick uses cookies to display relevant advertisements to users, improve campaign performance reports or prevent a user from seeing the same advertisements more than once. The processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.
| 10.2 — Google AdWords conversion tracking |
This website uses the online advertising program Google AdWords and its conversion tracking. We use Google AdWords to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google AdWords advertisement. These cookies generally expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. The processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest.
11 · WEB ANALYSIS SERVICES
| Google (Universal) Analytics |
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of the website. This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the "_anonymizeIp()" extension, which ensures the anonymization of the IP address by truncation and excludes a direct personal reference.
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide further services related to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out via a user ID. A unique, permanent and anonymized ID is assigned on the first visit to the page and set across devices. The user ID does not contain any personal information and does not transmit such data to Google. You can object to the collection and storage of data via the user ID at any time with effect for the future.
12 · RETARGETING / REMARKETING / RECOMMENDATION ADVERTISING
| Facebook Custom Audience (Pixel) |
This website uses the "Facebook Pixel" from Meta Platforms Inc. With express consent, user behavior can be tracked after users have seen or clicked on a Facebook advertisement. This procedure serves to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected is anonymous to us. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook. The processing is carried out only with express consent. Consent to the use of the Facebook Pixel may only be given by users over the age of 13.
| Google AdWords Remarketing |
Our website uses the functions of Google AdWords Remarketing. Google sets a cookie in the browser of your device that automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID based on the pages you have visited. The processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest. Further data processing only takes place if you have consented to Google linking your internet and app browsing history to your Google account.
