(3) Information on your Internet Service Provider
(4) The date and time of your access

Both the gathering of data and the saving of data in log files are absolutely necessary for the provision and operation of our website. Therefore, you do not have the option to object.

B2. Cookies

We deploy so-called “cookies” on our website. These are small files that your browser creates automatically and which are stored on your computer system if you visit our site. Cookies do not harm your computer system, and do not contain any viruses, Trojan horses or other malware.

We deploy cookies in order to improve our website, thus, for example, to design it to be more user-friendly and adapt it to users’ interests.

In that respect, the following data is stored in the cookies and transmitted:

(1) Language settings
(2) Items in your shopping cart
(3) Login details
(4) Frequency of product views
(5) History of the ordering process
(6) Making use of website functions

The data gathered in this way is pseudonymised by means of technical precautions. It is therefore not possible to allocate the data to you. The data is not stored together with any other personal data.

The data processed by cookies is necessary for the purposes mentioned, in order to protect our legitimate interests, as well as those of third parties, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically. In order to prevent this, you may, however, configure your browser in such a way that no cookies are stored on your computer system, or that a notice always appears before a new cookie is placed. Completely deactivating cookies may, however, lead to you not being able to use all the functions of our website.

B3. Shop System

We use the Shopify service for our web shop. Shopify is operated by Shopify Inc., 126 York Street, Suite 200, Ottawa, K1N 5T5, Canada.

The information will be used to evaluate the use of the website, compile reports on the website activities, and provide further services associated with the use of the website and the Internet for market research purposes and to design these web pages in line with requirements. This information may also be transmitted to third parties, in so far as such is required by law or if third parties process such data by order. Your IP address will never be merged with other data of Google. The IP addresses are anonymised, so that the allocation of data will not be accessible to anyone.

You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting a corresponding setting in the browser software. We would like to point out that, in such a case, it may not be possible to use all the functions of this website in their entirety.

You can, moreover, prevent generation of the data by the cookie which relates to your use of the website from being recorded, as well as the processing of such data by Google Inc., by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).

As an alternative to the browser add-on, in particular with browsers on mobile terminals, you can additionally prevent your data from being recorded by Google Analytics by clicking on this link: An opt-out cookie is placed, which prevents your data from being recorded when visiting this website in future. The opt-out cookie only applies in this browser, and only to our website, and will be placed on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you need to re-set the opt-out cookie.

You can find further information on data privacy in connection with Google Analytics, for instance in the Google Analytics Help (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en).

We use the “Google AdWords” marketing service on this website. This service is provided by Google Ireland Limited. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland).

This service enables us to place advertisements concerning our content with greater precision and evaluate them according to users’ interests. This is done by deploying cookies (see Clause B. 2.), which are stored on your computer system if you came to our website via a Google advertisement (a so-called “conversion cookie”). That makes it possible to track from which page you were re-routed. The service is, however, not aimed at identifying you personally. Your data may be transferred to a server in the USA and stored there. These servers are operated by Google Inc., USA, so that a transmission of the data to the USA cannot be ruled out. An adequate level of data protection is achieved through the use of standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission within the meaning of Art. 46 Para. 2 lit. c) GDPR guaranteed.

If you would prefer not to take part in the tracking procedure, you can also reject the placing of a cookie that would be required for this – for instance by setting your browser accordingly, so that the automatic placing of cookies is deactivated. You can, however, also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking, by setting your browser in such a way that cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com are blocked. You will find Google’s data privacy briefing on the conversion tracking here: (https://services.google.com/sitestats/en.html).
