This will allow your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. These cookies are deleted after you close your browser.
We also use a small amount of persistent cookies (also small text files stored on your device) that remain on your device and allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit it. These cookies are stored on your hard drive and delete themselves after the given time. Their lifespan is 1 month to 10 years. This will enable us to present our offer in a more user-friendly, effective and secure way, and to show you, for example, information tailored to your interests on the page.
Our legitimate interest in the use of cookies in accordance with Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR is to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure.

After logging in, you will receive a message on the specified email address asking you to confirm your registration ("Double Opt-in "). This is necessary so that third parties cannot register with their email address.

We save the registration details as long as they are needed for sending the newsletter. The logging of the application and the shipping address are stored as long as there was an interest in the proof of the originally given consent, as a rule, these are the limitation periods for civil claims, thus a maximum of three years.
Legal basis for sending the newsletter is your consent acc. Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 a) in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with § 7 (2) no. 3 UWG. Legal basis for logging the application is our legitimate interest in proving that the shipment was made with your consent.

When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), we process your details for the processing of the request as well as for the case that follow-up questions arise.
If data processing is carried out for the purpose of carrying out pre-contractual measures which are made upon request or for the execution of an existing contract, the legal basis for this data processing is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 b) GDPR.
We process further personal data only if you consent to it (Article 6 (1) sentence 1 a) GDPR) or we have a legitimate interest in the processing of your data (Article 6 (1) sentence 1 f) GDPR), A legitimate interest lies e.g. in responding to your email.

The legal basis for the data processing is the legitimate interest according to Article 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

This information is used to provide us, as operators of the Facebook pages, with statistical information about the use of the Facebook page.
Facebook provides more detailed information on this at the following link: http://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights.
The data collected about you in this context is processed by Facebook Ireland and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union.

When you access a Facebook page, the IP address assigned to your terminal device is transmitted to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymized (esp. for German-IP addresses). Facebook also stores information about the end devices of its users (e.g. as part of the "login notification" function); if necessary, this enables Facebook to assign IP addresses to individual users.
