The purpose of cookies is to make our offer more user-friendly, more effective and more secure. Cookies are small text files that are filed on your computer and stored by your browser.

Most of our cookies are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser when you next visit our website.

You can set up your browser in such a way that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies generally or in certain cases and enable the automatic deletion of the cookies when you close the browser. The disabling of cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions desired by you are stored pursuant to article 6(1), letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storing of cookies to ensure the technically flawless and optimised provision of his services. If other cookies (e.g. cookies to analyse your surfing behaviour) are stored, they are treated separately in this data protection declaration.

Server log files

The provider of the web pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that are automatically transmitted to us by your browser. They include the following information:

The basis for the data processing is article 6(1) letter b of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact form

If you use the contact form to send us enquiries, the data you enter in the enquiry form including your contact details are stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and dealing with follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on without your consent.

Hence, the processing of the data entered in the contact form only takes place on the basis of your consent (art. 6(1), letter a of the GDPR). You may withdraw your consent at any time by sending an informal e-mail to us. The lawfulness of the data processing measures taken prior to your withdrawal is unaffected by the withdrawal. 

The data entered by you in the contact form remains with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to storage or there is no longer any need to store the data (e.g. after your enquiry has been dealt with). Binding legal regulations – in particular concerning storage periods – shall remain unaffected.
