What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

Essential Cookies

Our webpage uses cookies. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage on your end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them yourself or an automatic solution is provided by your web browser. Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping basket function, logins, display of videos, country or language selection or for the cookie consent itself).

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 letter f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of his services. If the relevant consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR; consent may be revoked at any time. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited. Insofar as cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you separately about this within the scope of this data protection declaration and, if necessary, request your consent.

Google Tag Manager
On our website we use the Google Tag Manager. The Google Tag Manager is a solution from Google, which allows us to manage our website tags via an interface. The Google Tag Manager is a cookie-free service that does not collect or store any personal data. The Google Tag Manager only triggers other tags that may collect data. Google Tag Manager cannot access this data. If you have deactivated it at the domain or cookie level, this deactivation will remain in effect for all tracking tags implemented through Google Tag Manager.
