  2. Cookies: In order to make our Website as user-friendly as possible, we - like many other website operators - use cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored in your browser.

You can set your browser so that it informs you about the placement of cookies so that the use of cookies becomes transparent for you. In principle, you can also refuse the acceptance of cookies via your browser settings. However, this may mean that you may not be able to use all the functions of the Website.
  3. Website analysis via Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"), on our Website to continuously improve our Website. Google Analytics uses cookies which are stored on your computer and which enable analysis of the use of the Website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this Website is usually sent to a Google server in Europe (or in a member state of the European Economic Area) for the anonymization of the IP address, so that a personal reference is excluded. Only after the IP address was anonymized the shortened IP address is transferred to a Google server in the US and stored there. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address will be transferred to a Google server in the US and shortened there. This Website uses Google Analytics with an extension for the anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). On our behalf, Google will use the collected information to evaluate your use of the Website, to compile reports on Website activity and to provide us with other services relating to Website use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data.

You can recognize the Facebook buttons by the Facebook logo or the "Like" button. In order to prevent the automatic collection of information by Facebook as soon as our Website is accessed, we have implemented the so-called "two-click solution": Next to the Facebook button there is another area that looks like a switch. Only when you press this switch and then click the Facebook button again, information (such as the address of our Website and your user ID) is sent to Facebook. As the operator of this Website, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook.

They are recognizable by terms such as "Twitter" or "Follow", combined with a stylized blue bird. With the help of the buttons it is possible to share a post or page of this offer on Twitter or to follow the provider on Twitter. When you access an area of our Website that contains such a button, your browser establishes a direct connection to Twitter's servers. The content of the Twitter button is transmitted directly from Twitter to your browser. We therefore have no influence on the amount of data Twitter collects with the help of these plug-ins and inform you exclusively on the basis of the information available to us. Thereafter, only your IP address and the URL of our Website will be transmitted when the button is purchased, but will not be used for any other purposes than the display of the button.

Google+ Schaltfläche: Our Website uses the "+1″ button of the social network Google Plus, which is operated by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google").

When you visit an area of our Website that contains such a button, your browser establishes a direct connection to Google's servers. The content of the "+1″ button is transmitted by Google directly to your browser and integrated into the Website. We therefore have no control over the amount of data Google collects using the button, but we assume that your IP address will also be recorded. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google as well as your rights and setting options for the protection of your privacy can be found in Google's privacy policy for the "+1″ button: http://www.google.com/intl/de/+/policy/+1button.html.

If the information transferred contain personal data, we ensure before such a transfer that the necessary adequate level of data protection is guaranteed in the respective third country or with the recipient in the third country. This may result in particular from a so-called "adequacy resolution" of the European Commission, which establishes an appropriate level of data protection for a certain third country as a whole. Alternatively, we can also base data transmission on the so-called "EU standard contract clauses" agreed with a recipient or - in the case of recipients in the USA - on compliance with the principles of the so-called "EU-US Privacy Shield". We will be happy to provide you with further information on the appropriate and appropriate guarantees for maintaining an appropriate level of data protection upon request; the contact details can be found at the beginning of this data protection information.

Even without a justified interest, we may continue to store the data if there is a legal obligation (e.g. to comply with statutory retention obligations). We delete personal data even without an action by the data subject as soon as further retention is no longer necessary for the purposes for which the data were collected or otherwise processed or if further retention is not permitted by law otherwise.

  • delete the log data within seven days, if if further storage is not required for purposes provided for by law, such as the detection of misuse and the detection and rectification of technical faults;
  • delete the data processed in the context of an online order after the expiration of statutory retention periods; and
  • delete the data processed in the context of a registration as user or a customer account after termination of registration or the deletion oft he customer account

If personal data need to be stored to comply with a legal obligation, such data is retained until the end of the respective retention period.
