Our website uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are temporarily stored on your end device for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on the user’s terminal until they are deleted by the user themselves or until the web browser provides an automatic solution. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain functions of the website would not work without them (for example, the shopping cart function or language settings). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertisements.
The processing of personal data through other cookies is based on consent according to art. 31 para 1 LPD and Art. 6 para. 1 let. a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. If such cookies are used for analysis and optimization purposes, we will inform you separately in this privacy policy and request your specific consent.

It is also possible to individually manage cookies from many companies and features used for advertising. To do this, use the appropriate user tools available at https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices. Many browsers also offer the so-called “Do Not Track” function. By activating this function, the browser communicates to advertising networks, websites, and applications that you do not wish to be “tracked” for behavioral advertising and similar purposes. Furthermore, the loading of so-called scripts can be prevented by default. “NoScript” allows the execution of JavaScript, Java, and other plugins only on trusted domains of your choice. Information and instructions on how to modify this function can be obtained from the browser provider (for example, for Mozilla Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/).

Google Ads
On our website, we use “Google Ads,” a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter “Google”). We use Google Ads for marketing and optimization purposes, specifically to display relevant and interesting ads to the user. If you have given us your consent according to art. 31 para. 1 LPD and art. 6 para. 1 let. a GDPR, we can use Google Ads to draw attention to our interesting offers with advertising material on external websites. These advertising materials are provided by Google through so-called “AdServers.” For this purpose, we use AdServer cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or user clicks, can be measured. If you reach our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your PC. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. The following information is typically stored as analysis values for this cookie: Unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), and opt-out information (indication that the user no longer wishes to be contacted). These cookies enable Google to recognize the user’s web browser. If a user visits certain pages of an advertiser’s website and the cookie stored on their computer has not expired, Google and the advertiser can tell that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each advertising client is assigned a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of advertising clients. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the context of the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Through these evaluations, we can recognize which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive further data from the use of the advertising material, in particular, we cannot identify users based on this information. Through the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google’s server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of Google Ads. To our knowledge, Google receives information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our advertisements. If you have a user account with Google and are registered, Google can assign the visit to your user account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that Google may discover and save your IP address. As personal data is transferred to the United States, additional adequate safeguards are required to ensure the level of data protection provided by the GDPR. To ensure this, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the provider according to art. 46 Paragraph 2 letter c GDPR. These oblige the data recipient in the United States to process the data according to the European level of protection. In cases where this cannot be guaranteed even by this contractual extension, we seek to obtain additional provisions and commitments from the recipient in the United States. Further information on the use of data by Google, setting and objection possibilities, and data protection can be found on the following Google websites:
