Excluded from this are our service partners who require the transmission of data for order processing (e.g. the shipping company commissioned with the delivery and the credit institution commissioned with payment processing). In these cases, however, the scope of the transmitted data is limited to the necessary minimum. Apart from this, your data will only be transferred to third parties if we are legally or officially obliged to do so or if the transfer serves the realisation of the Internet offer you have selected.

We store this data in a log file each time a page is accessed.

We use cookies on our website to extend the functionality of our website and to make it more convenient for you to use. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive and assigned to the browser you are using and through which certain information flows to the body that sets the cookie (in this case us).

This website uses transient cookies, the scope and function of which are explained below: Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include session cookies in particular. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session. This allows your computer to be recognised when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.
You can configure your browser settings according to your wishes and, for example, refuse to accept cookies. We would like to point out that you may then not be able to use all the functions of this website.

If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can recognise whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.
