Protection of privacy for terminal devices
When you use our online services, we use technologies that are absolutely necessary in order to provide the telemedia service you have expressly requested. The storage of information in your terminal device or access to information that is already stored in your terminal device does not require consent in this respect.
For functions that are not absolutely necessary, the storage of information in your terminal device or access to information that is already stored in your terminal device requires your consent. Please note that if you do not give your consent, parts of the website may not be available for unrestricted use. Any consent you may have given will remain valid until you adjust or reset the respective settings in your terminal device.
Any downstream data processing through cookies and other technologies
We use such technologies that are strictly necessary for the use of certain functions of our website (e.g. shopping cart function). These technologies are used to collect and process IP addresses, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website (e.g. information on your preferences). This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in an optimised presentation of our offer that are overriding in the process of balancing of interests according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
In addition, we use technologies to fulfil the legal obligations, which we are subject to (e.g. to be able to prove consent to the processing of your personal data) as well as for web analysis and online marketing. Further information on this, including the respective legal basis for data processing, can be found in the following sections of this privacy policy.
On our website we may use other technologies, which are not listed individually in this privacy policy. Further information on these technologies and the respective legal basis can be found on the platform of our consent management service Usercentrics. You can access these via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.
What types of cookies are being used?
Functional (necessary) cookies:
These cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the website (e.g., login, shopping cart, language and preference settings, security). They are always enabled, and we inform you about their use. No consent is required for these cookies.
Other Cookies (Marketing/Tracking & Similar Technologies):
These cookies enable us to display (personalized) content and advertisements and to measure the effectiveness of campaigns. This may involve sharing data with third parties and tracking across multiple websites or apps. We ask for your consent before using these cookies and clearly inform you about what information we collect, how we use it, and for what purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time through our cookie settings.
Analytical Cookies (Limited Analytics):
These cookies help us measure the use of our website in order to improve its performance and user experience. Where no personal data is processed, this is done without requiring your consent. If personal data is processed, we will first ask for your consent. In such cases, processing is carried out on a valid legal basis, which we explain in detail in our Privacy Policy.
Essential cookies: These cookies are necessary to enable you to use our website. This includes e.g. cookies that enable you to log into the customer area or add items to your shopping cart.
Cookie settings
You can find the cookies settings for your browser by clicking on the following links: Microsoft Edge™ / Safari™ / Chrome™ / Firefox™ / Opera™
If you have consented to the use of the technologies in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, you can withdraw your consent at any time by sending a message to the contact option described in the privacy policy.
Alternatively, you can also use the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.
Our service providers are located and/or use servers in the following countries, for which the European Commission has established an adequate level of data protection by decision: USA.
The adequacy decision for the USA applies as the basis for third country transfers, provided that the respective service provider is certified. Certification is available.
Suitable guarantees in the form of contractually agreed standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or binding internal data protection rules (Binding Corporate Rules) are possible in principle, but require a prior review by the contracting parties as to whether an adequate level of protection can be guaranteed. According to the case law of the ECJ, it may be necessary to take additional protective measures for this purpose.
In principle, we have agreed the standard data protection clauses issued by the EU Commission with the technology providers we use who process personal data in a third country. Where possible, we also agree on additional safeguards to ensure that sufficient data protection is guaranteed in the third countries without an adequacy decision.
Notwithstanding this, it may happen that, despite all contractual and technical measures, the level of data protection in the third country does not correspond to that in the EU. For these cases, we ask you, if necessary, in the context of cookie consent, for your consent in accordance with Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR to the transfer of your personal data to a third country.
In particular, there is a risk that local authorities in the third country may not have sufficiently limited access rights to your personal data from a European data protection perspective, that we as the data exporter or you as the data subject may not be aware of this and/or that you may not have sufficient legal remedies to prevent and/or take action against such access.
In particular, the following countries are currently among the third countries without an adequacy decision by the EU Commission (example enumeration):
Our service providers are located and/or use servers in countries outside the EU and the EEA for which the European Commission has established by decision an adequate level of data protection.
Our service providers are located and/or use servers in countries outside the EU and the EEA. For these countries there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission. Our cooperation is based on standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission.
In order to optimize the marketing of our website, we have activated the data sharing settings for "Google products and services". This allows Google to access the data collected and processed by Google Analytics and then use it to improve Google services. The data sharing to Google within the scope of these data sharing settings is based on an additional agreement between the data controllers. We have no influence on the subsequent data processing by Google.
For the purposes of optimized marketing of our website, we use the so-called user ID function. With the help of this function, we can assign a unique, permanent ID to your interaction data for one or more sessions on our websites and thus analyze your user behavior across devices and sessions.
For web analytics purposes, the extension function of Google Analytics Google Signals enables so-called "cross-device tracking". If your internet-enabled devices are linked to your Google Account and you have activated the "personalised advertising" setting in your Google Account, Google can generate reports on your usage behaviour (in particular cross-device user numbers), even if you change your device. We do not process personal data in this respect; we only receive statistics based on Google Signals.
For web analytics and advertising purposes, the extension function of Google Analytics enables the so-called DoubleClick cookie to recognize your browser when visiting other websites. Google will use this information to compile reports about your website activities and to provide other services related to the use of the website.
If you do not give us your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, no cookies will be stored on your device or read out. The data processing described in the previous paragraphs does not take place. In order to close gaps in web analysis through behaviour and conversion modelling, pings with data (user agent, information on your consent behaviour, screen resolution, IP address) are sent to Google.
Our Website markets advertising space to third party service providers and advertising networks via Google AdSense. Those advertisements will be shown to you in different places on this website. The so-called DoubleClick cookie enables the display of interest-based advertising through the collection and processing of data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website) and the automatic assignment of a pseudonymous UserID, which is used to determine interests based on visits to this and other websites.
For advertising purposes in the Google search results as well as on the websites of third parties, the so-called Google Remarketing Cookie is used when you visit our website, which automatically enables interest-based advertising through the collection and processing of data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website), by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID and on the basis of the pages you visit. Any further data processing only takes place if you have activated the setting "personalised advertising" in your Google account. In this case, if you are logged into Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing.
For website analysis and event tracking, we use Google Ads Conversion Tracking to measure your subsequent usage behavior when you arrive on our website via a Google Ads ad. For this purpose, cookies may be used and data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website based on events specified by us, such as a visit to a website or newsletter registration) may be collected, from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms.
If you do not give us your consent to the use of Google Ads in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, no cookies will be stored on your device or read out. The data processing described in the previous paragraphs does not take place. In order to close gaps in web analysis through behaviour and conversion modelling, pings with data (user agent, information on your consent behaviour, screen resolution, IP address, page URL, information on ad clicks in URL parameters) are sent to Google. Your IP address is used to derive the IP country.
If you reach our website via a Google ad, a cookie will be placed on your device. These cookies expire after 30 to 90 days and are not used for personal identification. If a user visits certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to our site. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of different Ads customers.
We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the course of these advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. These evaluations help us understand which advertising measures are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of advertising tools, especially no information that could personally identify users.
With Google’s Enhanced Conversions, conversions can be tracked more precisely. When users click on one of our Google ads and then complete a desired action (a so-called “conversion”), information entered by the user—such as email address, name, or postal address—can be transmitted to Google. This data is encrypted using the one-way SHA256 hash algorithm and can then be matched by Google to the respective Google account that was used during the interaction with our ad.
Google’s Enhanced Conversions for Leads allow for more accurate tracking of potential customers (“leads”). When a lead clicks on one of our ads and then signs in or registers on our website, data they provide—such as their email address—may be transmitted to Google. This data is also encrypted beforehand using the SHA256 one-way hash algorithm. The encrypted data is stored in our database. Once a lead is converted into a customer, the encrypted data is sent to Google again, and Google can attribute this conversion to the specific ad the lead interacted with.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of cookies required for this—either by adjusting your browser settings to generally prevent the automatic placement of cookies or by adjusting your preferences in our cookie settings.
The legal basis for processing your data is the consent you provided via our cookie consent tool (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
Google receives and processes this data as a data processor. For this purpose, we have entered into a data processing agreement with Google. It cannot be ruled out that Google LLC, based in California, USA, and potentially U.S. authorities, may also access the data stored by Google.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of cookies required for this purpose – for example, by adjusting your browser settings to generally prevent the automatic placement of cookies, or via our cookie settings.
Additionally, you can adjust personalized advertising settings in your Google user account under the Privacy tab according to your preferences. To do so, log into your Google account and navigate to “Manage your Google Account,” then select the “Data & Privacy” section.
By using the Google Tag Manager, a simplified integration of various services/technologies can be achieved.
If you do not wish to use individual tracking services and have therefore deactivated them, the deactivation remains in place for all affected tracking tags that are integrated by the Google Tag Manager.

For website analytics and event tracking purposes, we use Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking (UET) to measure your subsequent usage behavior when you arrive on our website via a Microsoft Advertising ad, from which usage profiles are generated using pseudonyms. For this purpose, cookies may be used and data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website based on events specified by us, such as a visit to a website or newsletter registration) may be collected, from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms. As long as your Internet-enabled devices are linked to your Microsoft account and you have not disabled the "Interest-based Advertising" setting in your Microsoft account, Microsoft can generate reports on usage behavior (especially cross-device user numbers), even if you change your device, so-called "cross-device tracking". In this respect, we do not process personal data, we only receive statistics based on Microsoft UET.

We use technology from service providers on our website whose headquarters and/or server locations may be in third countries outside the EU or EEA. If there is no EU Commission adequacy decision for this country, an adequate level of data protection must be ensured by means of other suitable guarantees.Suitable guarantees in the form of contractually agreed standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or binding internal data protection rules (Binding Corporate Rules) are possible in principle, but require a prior review by the contracting parties as to whether an adequate level of protection can be guaranteed. According to the case law of the ECJ, it may be necessary to take additional protective measures for this purpose.
In principle, we have agreed the standard data protection clauses issued by the EU Commission with the technology providers we use who process personal data in a third country. Where possible, we also agree on additional safeguards to ensure that sufficient data protection is guaranteed in the third countries without an adequacy decision.
Notwithstanding this, it may happen that, despite all contractual and technical measures, the level of data protection in the third country does not correspond to that in the EU. For these cases, we ask you, if necessary, in the context of cookie consent, for your consent in accordance with Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR to the transfer of your personal data to a third country.
In particular, there is a risk that local authorities in the third country may not have sufficiently limited access rights to your personal data from a European data protection perspective, that we as the data exporter or you as the data subject may not be aware of this and/or that you may not have sufficient legal remedies to prevent and/or take action against such access.
In particular, the following countries are currently among the third countries without an adequacy decision by the EU Commission (example enumeration):
- China
- Russia
- Taiwan

Google Analytics
For the purpose of website analysis, Google Analytics automatically collects and stores data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website), from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. Cookies may be used for this purpose. If you visit our website from the EU, your IP address will be stored on a server located in the EU to derive location data and then deleted immediately before the traffic is forwarded to further Google servers for processing. The data processing is carried out on the basis of an order processing agreement by Google.In order to optimize the marketing of our website, we have activated the data sharing settings for "Google products and services". This allows Google to access the data collected and processed by Google Analytics and then use it to improve Google services. The data sharing to Google within the scope of these data sharing settings is based on an additional agreement between the data controllers. We have no influence on the subsequent data processing by Google.
For the purposes of optimized marketing of our website, we use the so-called user ID function. With the help of this function, we can assign a unique, permanent ID to your interaction data for one or more sessions on our websites and thus analyze your user behavior across devices and sessions.
For web analytics purposes, the extension function of Google Analytics Google Signals enables so-called "cross-device tracking". If your internet-enabled devices are linked to your Google Account and you have activated the "personalised advertising" setting in your Google Account, Google can generate reports on your usage behaviour (in particular cross-device user numbers), even if you change your device. We do not process personal data in this respect; we only receive statistics based on Google Signals.
For web analytics and advertising purposes, the extension function of Google Analytics enables the so-called DoubleClick cookie to recognize your browser when visiting other websites. Google will use this information to compile reports about your website activities and to provide other services related to the use of the website.
If you do not give us your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, no cookies will be stored on your device or read out. The data processing described in the previous paragraphs does not take place. In order to close gaps in web analysis through behaviour and conversion modelling, pings with data (user agent, information on your consent behaviour, screen resolution, IP address) are sent to Google.
Our Website markets advertising space to third party service providers and advertising networks via Google AdSense. Those advertisements will be shown to you in different places on this website. The so-called DoubleClick cookie enables the display of interest-based advertising through the collection and processing of data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website) and the automatic assignment of a pseudonymous UserID, which is used to determine interests based on visits to this and other websites.
For advertising purposes in the Google search results as well as on the websites of third parties, the so-called Google Remarketing Cookie is used when you visit our website, which automatically enables interest-based advertising through the collection and processing of data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website), by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID and on the basis of the pages you visit. Any further data processing only takes place if you have activated the setting "personalised advertising" in your Google account. In this case, if you are logged into Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing.
For website analysis and event tracking, we use Google Ads Conversion Tracking to measure your subsequent usage behavior when you arrive on our website via a Google Ads ad. For this purpose, cookies may be used and data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website based on events specified by us, such as a visit to a website or newsletter registration) may be collected, from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms.
If you do not give us your consent to the use of Google Ads in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, no cookies will be stored on your device or read out. The data processing described in the previous paragraphs does not take place. In order to close gaps in web analysis through behaviour and conversion modelling, pings with data (user agent, information on your consent behaviour, screen resolution, IP address, page URL, information on ad clicks in URL parameters) are sent to Google. Your IP address is used to derive the IP country.
Google Ads Conversion Tracking
We also use Google Ads Conversion Tracking to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites using advertisements (so-called Google Ads). Based on the data from these advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the inpidual advertising measures are. Our goal is to show you ads that are relevant to your interests, make our website more appealing to you, and ensure a fair calculation of advertising costs.If you reach our website via a Google ad, a cookie will be placed on your device. These cookies expire after 30 to 90 days and are not used for personal identification. If a user visits certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to our site. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of different Ads customers.
We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the course of these advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. These evaluations help us understand which advertising measures are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of advertising tools, especially no information that could personally identify users.
With Google’s Enhanced Conversions, conversions can be tracked more precisely. When users click on one of our Google ads and then complete a desired action (a so-called “conversion”), information entered by the user—such as email address, name, or postal address—can be transmitted to Google. This data is encrypted using the one-way SHA256 hash algorithm and can then be matched by Google to the respective Google account that was used during the interaction with our ad.
Google’s Enhanced Conversions for Leads allow for more accurate tracking of potential customers (“leads”). When a lead clicks on one of our ads and then signs in or registers on our website, data they provide—such as their email address—may be transmitted to Google. This data is also encrypted beforehand using the SHA256 one-way hash algorithm. The encrypted data is stored in our database. Once a lead is converted into a customer, the encrypted data is sent to Google again, and Google can attribute this conversion to the specific ad the lead interacted with.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of cookies required for this—either by adjusting your browser settings to generally prevent the automatic placement of cookies or by adjusting your preferences in our cookie settings.
The legal basis for processing your data is the consent you provided via our cookie consent tool (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
Google Ads Customer Match
For our Google marketing activities, we use Google Ads Customer Match. The legal basis for this is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. When using Customer Match, we upload lists containing encrypted user data (e.g. names, email addresses, postal addresses, customer-specific identifiers) to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4 (hereinafter “Google”). Google then compares the transmitted user data with existing Google customer accounts to determine matches. This enables us to create target audiences for ad and campaign delivery. The encrypted customer data is automatically deleted by Google after the Customer Match lists have been created.Google receives and processes this data as a data processor. For this purpose, we have entered into a data processing agreement with Google. It cannot be ruled out that Google LLC, based in California, USA, and potentially U.S. authorities, may also access the data stored by Google.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of cookies required for this purpose – for example, by adjusting your browser settings to generally prevent the automatic placement of cookies, or via our cookie settings.
Additionally, you can adjust personalized advertising settings in your Google user account under the Privacy tab according to your preferences. To do so, log into your Google account and navigate to “Manage your Google Account,” then select the “Data & Privacy” section.
