Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you desire (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.

In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed).

Objection and "Opt-Out": You can generally prevent the storage of cookies on your hard drive by choosing "do not accept cookies" in your browser settings. However, this may result in a restriction of the functions of our offers. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website to Google and the processing of these data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
As an alternative to the browser plugin, you can prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking here. By clicking, an "opt-out" cookie is set that prevents the collection of your data during future visits to this website. This cookie is only valid for our website and your current browser and only lasts until you delete your cookies. In that case, you would have to set the cookie again.
You can deactivate the cross-device user analysis in your Google account under "My Data > Personal Data".
6. Social Media

Facebook thereby receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you click the Facebook "Like Button" while you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link the contents of this website to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate the visit to this website with your user account. We point out that we as the provider of the pages have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or their use by Facebook. Further information on this can be found in Facebook's privacy policy at:

https://de-de.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.
