III. Purposes and legal basis of data processing

Informational use of the website

When you use our website solely for informational purposes, in other words if you do not register, log in, place an order or otherwise provide us with information about yourself, we do not process any personal data except for the data provided by your browser to permit you to visit the website as well as information transmitted to us by cookies used for preparing statistical analyses of how our site is used.

a. Technical operation of the website

(i) Creation of logfiles

For the purpose of technical website operation, we may need to process certain automatically transmitted information about you in order for your browser to display our website and for you to use it. This information is automatically collected and stored in our server logfiles every time our website is accessed. The following information is collected:

  • browser type and version
  • operating system used
  • referring URL (the previously visited page)
  • host name of the accessing computer (IP address)
  • time of the server inquiry.

These data are not combined with data from other sources and will be deleted following their statistical analysis.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of this data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in ensuring our ability to technically operate the website for you and in safeguarding its functionality. We also have a legitimate interest in optimising our website and in safeguarding the security of our information technology systems.

(ii) Cookies

We use cookies on various pages of our website in order to enhance the user experience and to allow the use of certain functions. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted at the end of your browser session, in other words when you close your browser (session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and allow us to recognise your browser on your next visit our to website (persistent cookies). You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and only allow cookies in individual cases or block the acceptance of cookies, either in specific cases or in general. If you choose not to accept cookies, this may limit the functionality of our website.

Below you will find further information on the cookies we use and your browser’s settings.

Essential cookies

These cookies are essential for us to operate our website. They include cookies that allow you to log into the customer area or place something into the shopping cart.

Analytical/performance cookies

These cookies make it possible to collect anonymised data about how our visitors use the site. These are then evaluated by us in order to improve the functionality of the website, for example, and to show you interesting offers.

Functional cookies

These cookies are used for certain features offered by our website, e.g. to suggest improved navigation to our website, to show you personalised and relevant information (e.g. “interest-based advertisements”).

Targeting cookies

These cookies remember your visit to our website, the pages you visited and the links you clicked. We will use this information to customise the advertising you see on our website to better reflect your interests.

Third-party cookies

These cookies from some of our advertising partners help make our website more interesting to you. We also save cookies from partner companies on your hard drive for this purpose. These are temporary cookies that are deleted automatically after a specific period of time has elapsed. Cookies from partner companies are usually deleted after a few days or after up to 24 months, in some cases even after several years. The cookies placed by our partner companies do not contain any personal data either. They merely collect pseudonymous data under a user ID. This pseudonymous data will at no point in time be combined with your personal data.

The data collected through analytical/performance cookies, functional cookies, targeting cookies and third-party cookies will be pseudonymised and/or anonymised by technical means. As a result, the data can no longer be attributed to the user visiting the site. The data will not be stored together with other personal data concerning the user.

The legal basis for our use of cookies to process your personal data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. In the case of technically essential cookies, we have a legitimate interest in being able to provide you a technically functional, easy-to-use website. With respect to the other cookies, we have a legitimate interest in improving the quality of our website and its contents. Analytical/performance cookies, functional cookies and targeting cookies also furnish us with information on how the website is used, thereby allowing us to continuously improve our offering and make it more user friendly.

How can I configure my browser's cookie settings?

Every browser manages cookie settings differently. This approach is described in every browser’s Help menu, which provides instructions on how to change your cookie settings. To find it, click the link below that corresponds to your browser:

b. Statistical analysis of website use and improving reach

For the purpose of performing statistical analyses of how our website is used, we use Google Analytics, Criteo, Google DoubleClick, Google Tag Manager and Google Ads, and therefore cookies which allow us to analyse your navigation of our website. This helps us improve the quality of our website and its contents. We learn how the website is used and can continuously optimise our offer as a result.

The information obtained through the statistical analysis of our website will not be combined with any other data collected about you during your visit to our website.

The legal basis for processing your personal data to perform statistical analyses of how our website is used is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; we have a legitimate interest in offering a website with an appealing, technically functional and user-friendly interface and a needs-based design.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., on our website. Google Analytics uses cookies, text files that are stored on your computer and enable your website usage to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of our website is generally sent to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored. If you activate IP anonymisation on this site, your IP address will be truncated prior to being transferred within European Union member states or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional circumstances will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The anonymised IP address sent by your browser within the context of Google Analytics will not be combined with any other Google data.

You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting the relevant setting in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent in this case.

You can opt out of the communication to Google of data collected by the cookie in connection with your use of our website (including your IP address) and the processing of such information by Google by downloading and installing a browser plug-in available at: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Alternatively, click here to opt out of Google Analytics.

For more information on conditions of use and data protection or about Google Analytics, go to http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html or https://policies.google.com/?hl=en&gl=en

Criteo

On our pages, technology provided by Criteo (Criteo GmbH, Unterer Anger 3, 80331 Munich, Germany) places cookies to collect information in purely anonymised form about the surfing activity of visitors to the website which is then used for marketing purposes.

These cookies enable Criteo to analyse surfing activity and then display targeted product recommendations in the form of personalised advertising banners on other websites. The anonymised data cannot, under any circumstances, be used to personally identify visitors to the website. The data collected by Criteo will only be used to improve the advertisements offered. Every banner displayed contains a small “i” (for information) in the bottom left corner. Mousing over this “i” will open it and clicking on it will take you to a page with an explanation of the methodology and an opportunity to opt out. Clicking on “Opt out” places an “Opt-out” cookie that prevents this banner from being displayed in the future. It is not passed on to third parties nor used in any other way. Visit Criteo for general information about their Privacy Policy and Data Protection Guidelines and also to opt out of anonymous analyses of your browsing behaviour (Opt out).

Google DoubleClick cookie

Our website still uses DoubleClick, Google’s online marketing tool. DoubleClick places cookies in order to display ads that are relevant to users, improve campaign performance reports or to prevent users from seeing the same ad more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to collect information about which ads are displayed in which browser to prevent these from being displayed multiple times. In addition, DoubleClick may use cookie IDs to track conversions related to ad enquiries. This could be the case if a user sees a DoubleClick ad and uses the same browser to open the advertiser’s website and make a purchase at a later point in time. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.

The marketing tools used cause your browser to automatically establish a direct connection to the Google server. Since we have no influence on the scope or further use of the data collected by Google using this tool, we are providing you with the information we have at our disposal: The use of DoubleClick means that Google receives the information that you have visited the corresponding section of our website or have clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a service provided by Google, it can connect the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, it is still possible that the provider will discover and store your IP address.

There are several ways for you to prevent your participation in this tracking process: a) by changing your browser settings accordingly, whereby rejecting third-party cookies, in particular, will prevent you from seeing third-party ads; b) by deactivating conversion tracking cookies by configuring your browser settings so that cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” are blocked, https://www.google.com/settings/ads, however this setting is deleted if you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating the interest-related ads of providers who are part of the self-regulation campaign “About Ads” using the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, however this setting is deleted if you delete your cookies; d) by permanently deactivating plugins in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browser by clicking the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Please note that, in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

You can find additional information regarding DoubleClick by Google at https://www.google.com/doubleclick as well as additional information regarding Google’s policies on data privacy, in general, at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at http://www.networkadvertising.org.

Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager by Google on our website. The Google Tag Manager is a solution that lets marketers manage website tags through an interface. The Google Tag Manager service itself (which implements the tags), is a cookie-free domain that does not collect any personal data. The Google Tag Manager service triggers other tags which, in turn, may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data however. If tags have been disabled at the domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Google Ads

We use the online advertising programme “Google Ads“ and the conversion tracking feature offered as part of Google Ads. Google conversion tracking is an analytical service offered by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). If you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your computer. These cookies expire after 30 days, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for the purpose of personal identification.

If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we can recognise that you have clicked on the ad and been forwarded to this page. Since each Google Ads customer gets a different cookie, it is not possible to track cookies across the websites of Ads customers.

The information obtained with the help of conversion cookies is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted in favour of conversion tracking. This service reveals to customers the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and been forwarded to a page with a conversion tracking tag where they purchased a product, for example. However, they do not receive any information which can be used to identify users personally.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by preventing cookies from being installed by adjusting your browser settings accordingly (deactivation option). Then you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. You can find further information about Google’s Privacy Policy at: http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/

Google Web Fonts

To ensure that the fonts displayed on this website have a uniform appearance, the site only uses web fonts provided by Google. When you visit a page, your browser downloads the web fonts it needs into your browser’s cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

To do so, the browser you use must establish a connection to Google’s servers. This tells Google that our website was accessed via your IP address.

The legal basis for processing your personal data in order to use Google Web Fonts is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; we have a legitimate interest in offering a website with a uniform, appealing and user-friendly interface.

If your browser does not support Web Fonts, your computer will use a default font.

Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps service through an API. It is provided by Google Inc.,1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Your IP address must be stored in order to use the functions provided by Google Maps. This information is generally sent to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored. The provider of this website has no influence on the transmission of this data.

Measure conversions with the Facebook Pixel action tracker

On our website we use the “Facebook Pixel” action tracker from Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). We use this to help track the actions of users after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. It allows us to collect data on the efficiency of Facebook ads for statistical and marketing purposes. The data collected through this tool are anonymous to us, which means that we are unable to see the personal data of individual users. These data are stored and processed by Facebook, however, so we are providing you with the information we have at our disposal. Facebook can combine these data with your Facebook account and also use it for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Policy https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You can permit Facebook and its partners to display ads both on and off the Facebook platform. Furthermore, a cookie can be stored on your computer for this purpose.

The legal basis for processing your personal data to measure conversions on our website with the Facebook Pixel action tracker is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; we have a legitimate interest in offering a website with an appealing, technically functional and user-friendly interface and a needs-based design.

c. Use of CloudFlare

CloudFlare functions are used on our website. The provider is CloudFlare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

CloudFlare offers a globally distributed content delivery network with DNS. At the technical level, transfers of information between your browser and our website are routed through the CloudFlare network. That puts CloudFlare in a position to analyse the data traffic between users and our website in order to identify and prevent attacks on our services, for example. CloudFlare may also store cookies on your computer for optimisation and analytical purposes.

The legal basis for processing your personal data in conjunction with the use of CloudFlare is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; we have a legitimate interest in identifying and preventing attacks on our services, in particular.

Components offered by affilinet are integrated into this website. Affilinet is a German affiliate network that offers affiliate marketing. Affilinet is operated by affilinet GmbH, Sapporobogen 6-8, 80637 Munich, Germany.

Affiliate marketing is a type of Internet-based marketing which enables commercial operators of websites, referred to as merchants or advertisers, to show advertisements, which are mostly paid for by means of per-click or per-sale commissions, on third-party websites, i.e. distribution partners, which are also referred to as affiliates or publishers. The merchant provides an advertising medium, i.e. an advertising banner or other suitable means of Internet advertising, via the affiliate network, after which this medium is subsequently integrated into the affiliate’s own Internet pages or advertised via other channels, such as keyword advertising or e-mail marketing.

Affilinet places a cookie on the individual’s IT system. Cookies have already been explained above. Affilinet’s tracking cookie stores absolutely no personal data. The only information stored is the identification number of the affiliate, i.e. the partner referring potential customers, the serial number of the visitor to the website and the ad clicked. This data is stored in order to process commission payments between a merchant and the affiliate, which are processed via the affiliate network, i.e. Affilinet.

The legal basis for processing your personal data in conjunction with the use of Affilinet is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; we have a legitimate interest in making our marketing as appealing as possible and in improving our products and services.

As already explained above, the data subject may prevent our website from storing cookies at any time by adjusting the settings of their Internet browser accordingly and, in doing so, permanently blocking cookies from being stored. This browser setting would also prevent Affilinet from placing a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. In addition, cookies already placed by Affilinet can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software.

Affilinet’s currently valid Privacy Policy can be accessed at https://www.awin.com/gb/legal/privacy-policy-gb.

We process your personal data on the following legal basis:

  • Data processing for the purpose of reaching a decision on the establishment of an employment relationship, Art. 88 (1) GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 (1) (1) of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

IX. Scope of your obligations to provide data

In principle, you are under no obligation to provide us with your personal data. If you choose not to, however, we will not be able to provide you access to our website, answer your questions or enter into any contracts with you. Personal data that are mandatory are indicated with an asterisk (*); any other personal data you provide to us is done so on a voluntary basis.

X. Automated decision-making / profiling

We do not use automatic decision-making or profiling (automatic analysis of your personal circumstances).


Information about your right to object, Art. 21 GDPR

  1. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests) or Art. 6 (1) (e) GDPR (data processing in the public interest) on grounds relating to your particular situation. This shall also apply with respect to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4 (4) GDPR.

    If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

  2. In individual cases, we also process your personal data for the purpose of conducting direct marketing. If you do not wish to receive advertising, you have the right to object to it at any time; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. We will take your objection into account for the future.

    We will no longer process your data for direct marketing if you object to their processing for this purpose.

The objection does not need to be written in any special form and, if possible, should be sent to our company’s contact details as listed in Section I.

XI. Amendments

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy occasionally to ensure that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the Privacy Policy, e.g. when introducing new services. The new Privacy Policy will then apply on your next visit. Unless stated otherwise, amendments of this nature shall take effect immediately. Therefore, please check this Privacy Policy on a regular basis to see the latest version.
