1.3 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g. orders or enquiries sent to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the character string “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar.

If you want this fully integrated into the earlier translation or formatted as a complete privacy policy, I can prepare that as well.

  1. DATA COLLECTION WHEN VISITING OUR WEBSITE
    When you use our website purely for information purposes, that is, if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server (so‑called “server log files”). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which are technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

• Our visited website
• Date and time at the moment of access
• Amount of data sent in bytes
• Source/referrer from which you arrived on the page
• Browser used
• Operating system used
• IP address used (if applicable, in anonymised form)

Processing takes place pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.

  1. COOKIES
    To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so‑called cookies on various pages. These are small text files stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted again after the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so‑called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and enable us or our partner companies (third‑party cookies) to recognise your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). When cookies are set, certain user information such as browser and location data as well as IP address values are collected and processed individually. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie.

Some cookies serve to simplify the ordering process (e.g. remembering the contents of a virtual shopping basket for a later visit to the website). If personal data are also processed through individual cookies implemented by us, processing is carried out either pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the performance of a contract or pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interest in ensuring the best possible functionality of the website and a customer‑friendly and effective design of the website visit.

We may cooperate with advertising partners who help us make our internet offer more interesting for you. For this purpose, cookies from partner companies may also be stored on your hard drive when you visit our website (third‑party cookies). When we cooperate with such advertising partners, you will be individually and separately informed below about the use of such cookies and the scope of the information collected.

Please note that you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually whether to accept them or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally.

  3. USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING
    6.1 Subscription to our email newsletter

If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address. Providing any other data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. We use the so‑called double opt‑in procedure for sending the newsletter. This means that we will only send you an email newsletter once you have expressly confirmed that you agree to receive newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation email asking you to confirm, by clicking on an appropriate link, that you wish to receive newsletters in the future.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. When you subscribe to the newsletter, we store the IP address assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of subscription in order to be able to trace possible misuse of your email address at a later point.

6.2 Sending the email newsletter to existing customers

If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services from our range by email. For this, we do not need to obtain separate consent from you.

If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send emails. You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the controller named at the beginning. The only costs incurred for this are the basic transmission charges. After receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be stopped immediately.

  1. ONLINE MARKETING
    10.1 DoubleClick by Google

This website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google, operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“DoubleClick”).

DoubleClick uses cookies to display ads relevant to users, to improve reports on campaign performance, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. A cookie ID records which ads are displayed in which browser and can prevent them from being displayed multiple times. Processing takes place on the basis of our legitimate interest in optimal marketing of our website pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

DoubleClick can also use cookie IDs to record so‑called conversions relating to ad enquiries. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser’s website with the same browser and makes a purchase. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain personal information.

Due to the integrated marketing tools, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google's server. We have no influence on the extent and further use of data collected by Google through this tool and inform you according to our knowledge: by integrating DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with or logged into Google, it is possible for the provider to obtain and store your IP address.

If you wish to object to participation in this tracking process, you can deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com are blocked:
https://www.google.de/settings/ads
However, this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies. Alternatively, you can visit the Digital Advertising Alliance website at www.aboutads.info to learn more about cookies and manage settings.

10.2 Use of Google AdWords Conversion Tracking

This website uses the online advertising programme “Google AdWords” and, in this context, conversion tracking by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). We use Google AdWords to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so‑called Google AdWords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. We pursue the interest of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on a Google‑placed AdWords advertisement. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer system. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can block this use by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie in your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. We use Google AdWords on the basis of our legitimate interest in targeted advertising pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

  1. WEB ANALYSIS SERVICES
    Google (Universal) Analytics

– Google Universal Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so‑called “cookies”, text files stored on your computer which allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including the truncated IP address) is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”, which ensures anonymisation of the IP address by truncation and excludes direct personal reference. Using this extension, your IP address is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. In these exceptional cases, processing takes place pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in statistically analysing user behaviour for optimisation and marketing purposes.

On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities and provide other services relating to website and internet usage to us. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use all features of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection and processing of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

As an alternative to the browser plugin, or within browsers on mobile devices, please click the following link to set an opt‑out cookie that will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data within this website in the future (this opt‑out cookie works only in this browser and only for this domain; if you delete your cookies, you must click this link again): Deactivate Google Analytics
Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified under the EU‑US Privacy Shield, which ensures compliance with the EU data protection level.

This website also uses Google Analytics for cross‑device analysis of visitor flows, carried out using a user ID. When a page is accessed for the first time, the user is assigned a unique, permanent and anonymised ID that is set across devices. This enables interaction data from different devices and different sessions to be assigned to a single user. The user ID does not contain any personal data and does not transmit such data to Google.

Objection to data collection and storage via the user ID can be made at any time with effect for the future. For this, you must deactivate Google Analytics on all systems you use, for example in another browser or on your mobile device.
You can deactivate it using a browser plugin from Google (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). As an alternative to the browser plugin or within browsers on mobile devices, please click the following link to set an opt‑out cookie that will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data within this website in the future (this opt‑out cookie works only in this browser and only for this domain; if you delete your cookies, you must click this link again): Deactivate Google Analytics
