By registering for the newsletter from 04.07.2017 you agree that we evaluate the use of the newsletter and our website in order to provide you with individual topics.

For the compilation of our individual e-mail newsletter we use the analysis tool Emarsys Predict, which evaluates both your use of the newsletter and our website. We use cookies to record your usage behaviour on our website in order to recognize your browser. This enables us to track your movements on our website and measure the success of certain marketing measures. In addition, our newsletters may contain links that contain random but unique identification numbers.

4. How do we protect your personal data?
If you log in to your "Customer account" or place an order, your personal data will be transmitted to us. To prevent these from falling into the wrong hands, we encrypt them using the SSL procedure (Secure Socket Layer). This is currently the most common and most secure data transmission method on the Internet. It is used by us as standard as soon as sensitive data is transferred. In addition, all customer information is stored on secure servers that are not accessible to unauthorized persons and are protected from external access by a "firewall".
We also maintain various other security measures to protect our customers' personal data. In connection with these security measures, you will occasionally be asked to provide proof of your identity before we disclose personal information to you. An example of this procedure is access to the customer account, which is only possible by entering a password. In addition, your data will only be processed by third parties within the framework of order data processing, and we regularly ensure compliance with technical and organisational measures to protect your data within the framework of legal requirements.
5. When will your data be deleted?
All data will be deleted when the purpose of storage has ceased to exist. If there is a legal or contractual retention period for certain data, the data is blocked instead of deleted. Furthermore, you have the possibility to have your data deleted or corrected at your own request. If there is a legal or contractual retention period for certain data, the data is blocked instead of deleted.
6. Do we use cookies?
We use cookies that enable us to make your shopping experience as pleasant as possible. No personal data is stored in our cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on the user's computer during a visit to a website. Through these you can, for example, enjoy the convenient cross-page shopping cart display, in which you can read how many items are currently in your shopping cart and how high your current shopping value is. Personal data is not contained in these text files.
To be able to use all functions in our shop, you must allow permanent cookies in your browser. If the settings for permanent cookies are not made, you can visit our shop, but e.g. the display of your shopping cart inventory cannot take place here.
There is always a rumour that cookies can be very dangerous for your computer. However, cookies definitely cannot perform the following activities:
- Cookies cannot transmit viruses.
- Cookies cannot read hard disk data.
- Your e-mail address cannot be obtained through the use of cookies.
- No e-mails can be sent unnoticed.
- Cookies cannot be read from other web servers.
Our partner companies are not permitted to collect, process or use personal data via our website using cookies. We will not link the data stored in the cookies with your personal data (name, address, etc.) without your express consent. To use our shopping cart, the [temporary/permanent] cookies must be enabled! We use services from third party providers that may set cookies. Please read the relevant information below under point 10.
7. Do you use Web-Analyse tools?
Yes. Like most Internet companies, we use web analysing tools.
We work with external service providers who help us obtain information about the use of our website. Our service providers store cookies on your computer hard drive, whereupon we receive general purchase information and other selected data that tells us how visitors navigate our site and what products are viewed. Our service providers analyse the data and provide us with overall evaluations. The data and analyses provided by our service providers are used to better understand our visitors' interests in our website and to better serve these interests. The information collected by our service providers may be linked and combined with information we collect while you visit our site. Our service providers are contractually prohibited from using the data they receive via our website for purposes other than our support.
In the following we will inform you in detail about the services used.
7.1 Use of Google Analytics
For the evaluation of the visitor numbers of our online shop and the collection of the resulting statistics we use the web analysis tool Google Analytics.
Here is a note on this: This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, Google will reduce your IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other countries party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link. In connection with the problem of using analysis tools that collect complete IP addresses and make them available to the user, we would like to point out that this website uses the analysis tool Google Analytics using the "_anonymizeIp()" extension provided by Google. For this reason, the IP addresses determined are only processed further in shortened form in order to exclude a direct reference to the individual Internet user.Advanced Google Analytics features
Starting May 15, 2017, all remarketing target groups created in Google Analytics will be expanded to take advantage of the new cross-device features available in AdWords and DoubleClick. Thus, when using Google Analytics, we reach audiences users independently of the device.
If users have agreed that their web and app browsing history will be linked to their Google Account by Google and information from their Google Account will be used to personalise ads they see on the web, Google will use data from those registered users along with Google Analytics data to create and define cross-device remarketing targeting lists. To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of these users. This personal data from Google is temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data in order to form target groups.
7.2 Use of Google Adwords Remarketing
We also use the Google Remarketing Tags service. These are services of Google Inc (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, hereinafter referred to as "Google"). Google uses cookies which are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The cookie generates information about your way of using our online offer when you visit it. Your usage (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. After it has been saved by Google, Google shortens the IP address by the last three digits. This means that an assignment to a specific user is no longer possible. Google assures that they comply with the provisions of the "US Safe Harbor" agreement and also assures that they are registered with the so-called "Safe Harbor" program of the US Department of Commerce.
Google will use the information received to evaluate your use of our online offer, to compile reports on the activities of users in our online offer for us and, if necessary, to provide additional services in connection with our online offer and access to this offer. Google will transfer information received in the context of the use of the service to third parties insofar as this is required by law or insofar as third parties collect data received for Google on their behalf. Google and other third parties may place advertisements on our website based on cookies and your previous visits to our site. Google will not connect your email address to any other information held by Google. The collection and storage of data can be stopped at any time with effect for the future. To do this, you have the option of deactivating the use of cookies by Google. To do this, go to the page https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads to disable Google advertising. However, we must point out that in the event of deactivation you may not be able to use all functions of this online offer. By using our online offer you agree to the processing of the data collected by Google using the service and for the presented purpose and in the presented way. You may object to the collection and storage of data obtained through the aforementioned use at any time with effect for the future. You can also find additional information about Google's preferences here.

To enable you to network extensively, we have implemented plug-ins from the social network Google+ on our website. This social network Google+ is operated by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States. You can recognize the plug-ins in the design of our website by the fact that this is represented by a button with the sign "+1" on a white or coloured background. If you visit our website, which has the plug-in shown above, your Internet access program (Internet browser) connects to the servers of the social network Google+. Through this connection, the social network Google+ transmits the content of the plug-in to the Internet browser you are using. This enables the integration into the website represented by the Internet browser.
The social network Google+ receives the information by visiting our website. Please note that we have no influence on which data is collected.
If you are logged in to the Google+ social network website using your assigned personal account at the same time you visit our site, Google+ will be associated directly with your visit to our site.
