    The internet pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our offering more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are so-called session cookies. They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit. You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited. Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions requested by you, such as a shopping cart function, are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies, such as cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior, are stored, they are treated separately in this privacy policy.

    Privacy information on WordPress

    Our website is self-hosted, but is based on WordPress. We use the WordPress anti-spam plugin CleanTalk to prevent possible spam during registration and in comments. For this purpose, parameters such as certain words, IP addresses, email addresses or domain names are sent to a server in the USA and compared there. If CleanTalk identifies any of the transmitted content as spam, this is returned to us as a notification and the information is stored in the USA. According to CleanTalk, the maximum storage period is 45 days. Further information about CleanTalk can be found at https://cleantalk.org/help/CleanTalk-GDPR-Compliance.

    Server log files

    The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

    • Browser type and browser version
    • Operating system used
    • Referrer URL
    • Hostname of the accessing computer
    • Time of the server request
    • IP address

    This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

    Contact form

    If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal. The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies, for example after your inquiry has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, especially retention periods, remain unaffected.
