Protection of Privacy for End Devices
When using our online offer, we use absolutely necessary technologies to be able to provide the expressly requested telemedia service. The storage of information on your end device or access to information already stored on your end device does not require consent in this respect.
For non-essential functions, the storage of information on your end device or access to information already stored on your end device requires your consent.

Any consent you have given will remain in effect until you adjust or reset the respective settings on your end device.
Subsequent Data Processing by Cookies and Other Technologies

Through these technologies, IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, as well as information about your use of our website (e.g., information about the content of the shopping cart) are collected and processed. This serves, in the context of a balancing of interests, overriding legitimate interests in an optimized presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
In addition, we use technologies to fulfill the legal obligations to which we are subject (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.

6.2 Use of the “Consentmanager” Tool from consentmanager AB for Managing Consents
On our website, we use “Consentmanager” to inform you about the cookies and other technologies we use on our website, as well as to obtain, manage, and document your required consent to the processing of your personal data by these technologies. This is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR to fulfill our legal obligation under Art. 7 (1) GDPR to be able to prove your consent to the processing of your personal data, to which we are subject. “Consentmanager” is an offer from consentmanager AB, Håltegelvägen 1b, 72348 Västerås, Sweden.

6.3 Information on Third-Country Transfers (Data Transfer to Third Countries)
We use technologies from service providers on our website whose registered office and/or server locations may be in third countries, outside the EU or the EEA. If there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for this country, an adequate level of data protection must be ensured by other appropriate guarantees.
Appropriate guarantees in the form of contractually agreed standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or binding corporate rules are generally possible, but require a prior review by the contracting parties to determine 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.
We have generally agreed on 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 guarantees that are intended to ensure that sufficient data protection is guaranteed in third countries without an adequacy decision.
Regardless of 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 of the EU. For these cases, we ask you, if necessary, within the framework of the 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 have access to your personal data that is not sufficiently restricted 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 list):
- China
- Russia
- Taiwan
You can find out in which third countries a data transfer by us takes place in the data protection information for the respective tool used and/or the consent management/Consent Manager Platform (CMP) service we use.

Cookies may be used for this. If you visit our website from the EU, your IP address is stored on a server located in the EU to derive location data and is then immediately deleted before the traffic is forwarded to other Google servers for processing. Data processing is based on an agreement on data processing by Google.
For the purpose of optimizing 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 subsequently use it to improve Google services. The sharing of data with Google under these data sharing settings is based on an additional agreement between controllers. We have no influence on the subsequent data processing by Google.
For web analysis, the Google Signals extension of Google Analytics enables “cross-device tracking.” If your internet-enabled devices are linked to your Google account and you have activated the “personalized advertising” setting in your Google account, Google can create reports on your usage behavior (especially cross-device user numbers), even if you change your device. We do not process personal data in this context; we only receive statistics created based on Google Signals.
If you do not consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, no cookies will be stored on or read from your device. The data processing described in the preceding paragraphs will not take place.

If you do not consent to the use of Google Ads in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, no cookies will be stored on or read from your device.

Your IP address is used to derive the IP country. - Google Fonts For the uniform display of content on our website, the script code “Google Fonts” collects data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information), transmits it to Google, and it is then processed by Google. We have no influence on this subsequent data processing.

As part of the so-called advanced data matching, information for matching purposes is also collected and stored in hashed form, which can be used to identify individuals (e.g., names, email addresses, and phone numbers). For this purpose, when you visit our website, the Facebook Pixel automatically sets a cookie that allows your browser to be recognized when visiting other websites using a pseudonymous CookieID.

Right to Object If we process personal data as explained above to protect our legitimate interests, which are overriding in a balancing of interests, you can object to this processing with effect for the future.
