How we use cookies and analysis tools
We use so-called cookies on our website. They are small text files that are stored permanently or temporarily on your computer or mobile device while you visit our site. Below we would like to inform you about how we use cookies.

Why we use cookies
We use cookies to ensure the functionality of our site, for example for the functionality of the shopping cart of services. We also use them to know what you like best, to adapt our online shop to your customer requirements and to make navigation as comfortable as possible. We also use cookies to optimize our advertising. In this way we can present you with advertisements and/or products that may be of particular interest to you. In any case, our goal is to set up our website as interesting as possible and to continuously improve our performance and your user experience.

How and which cookies we use
We use cookies for example to temporarily store what’s in your shopping cart or where you are with your order. Cookies are absolutely necessary to offer you these services. In addition, we use functional cookies for example to temporarily store your login details, to ensure that your data is secure when you are registered and that the image of the site is consistent or to offer support for live-chat. We use performance cookies, for example, to increase the performance of the site by reducing the loading time for the pages you visit. Finally, we use target-oriented cookies, for example, to allow you to share content and assign “Like”.

Most of the cookies we use are automatically deleted from your computer or mobile device at the end of the session. We also use persistent cookies that remain stored on your computer or mobile device at the end of the session. If you visit our site again, we automatically recognize the entries and settings you prefer. These cookies are automatically deactivated when the programmed period expires. They serve to make our site easier to use, more efficient and safer for you. These cookies, for example, display information that is specifically tailored to your interests on the page.

With the retargeting technology we use, we can specifically target advertising to users who are already interested in our online shop and our products. We are convinced that the display of personalized, interest-based advertising is usually more interesting for the user than advertising without personal reference. The display of advertising media takes place in retargeting based on a cookie-based analysis of previous user behavior. In this we cooperate with partner companies. Therefore, when you visit our website, cookies from partner companies can also be saved on your computer or mobile device. These cookies are automatically deactivated at the expiration of the programmed period.

What data is saved in cookies
No personal data is stored in the cookies we use. The cookies we use cannot be assigned to a specific person. When a cookie is activated, it is assigned an identification number.

How you can prevent cookies from being saved
Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can set your browser so that it does not accept cookies or always asks you before storing a cookie from a visited site. You can also delete cookies from your computer or mobile device using the corresponding function of your browser. If you choose to disable our cookies or those of our partner companies, you will not see any information on our site and you will not be able to use features that could improve your visit.

How we evaluate log files
For technical reasons, every time you access our website your web browser transmits us a series of data regarding use. This data is stored in log files called log files. These are the following usage data: date and time of opening our site, IP address of your computer or mobile device, address of the Internet page from which you come to our site, amount of data transmitted and name and version of your browser.

The evaluation of log files helps us to further improve our site and make it easier for the user, to find and solve errors faster and to manage server capacity. Using the log files we can for example determine the times when our site attracts most interest and provide the appropriate volume of data to enable you to use it in the best possible way.

How we use Google Analytics for web analysis
We use Google Analytics to continuously improve and optimize our site. Google Analytics is a Google web analytics service that generates detailed statistics on site traffic and its origin, measuring conversions and turnovers. Google Analytics uses cookies, stored on your computer or mobile device, which allow an analysis of the use of our website by our users. The information obtained by the cookie about your use of our website, including your IP address, is anonymized with the corresponding settings and then transmitted to Google.

Google uses the information obtained by the cookie to evaluate your use of our website on our behalf, to compile reports on website activities and to make them available to us for analysis purposes. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data stored on this website.

You can prevent the installation and recording of cookies with the corresponding setting on your browser. We would like to point out, however, that in this case you will no longer be able to see certain information on our website and that certain functions, which should improve your visit, can no longer be used.

By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

How we use social plugins
