For questions regarding our cookie policy and the services we use, please contact the responsible entity pursuant to Article 4(7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) using the contact details in our [link to privacy policy]. imprint. This cookie policy applies to citizens and persons with permanent residence in the European Economic Area and Switzerland.
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies (for convenience, all technologies are referred to as "cookies"). Cookies are also placed by third parties on our behalf. In the document below, we inform you about the use of cookies on our website.
Summary: We don't like cookies, and just like you, we don't like cookie banners either. That's why we're continuously working to make our website as cookie-free as possible. With the exception of the firewall, login, and shopping cart functions, we've largely implemented this. Our already anonymized tracking also partially functions entirely without the use of cookies.
Technology
A cookie is a small, simple text file that is sent along with pages of this website and stored by your browser on the hard drive of your computer or other device. The information stored in this file can be returned to our servers or to the servers of the relevant third parties on a subsequent visit. Data protection distinguishes between three types of cookies. The cookie banner and this cookie policy inform you about which cookies are specifically used on this website.
Technically necessary and functional cookies
Some cookies ensure that certain parts of the website function properly and that your user preferences are remembered. By setting functional cookies, we make our website easier for you. This way, you don't have to repeatedly enter the same information when you visit our website; for example, items remain in your shopping cart until you pay. We may set these cookies without your consent.
Analytical cookies
We use statistical cookies to optimize the website experience for our users. These statistical cookies provide us with insights into the use of our website. We ask for your permission to set analytical cookies.
Marketing / tracking cookies
Marketing/Tracking cookies are cookies or other forms of local storage used to create user profiles in order to display advertisements or to track the user across websites or across multiple websites for similar marketing purposes.

You can adjust your consent at any time. To do so, simply click the switch icon that appears at the bottom left of every browser page.

You can use your internet browser to delete cookies automatically or manually. You can also choose not to accept certain cookies at all. Another option is to change your internet browser settings so that you receive a message each time a cookie is placed.
