3) Cookies

In order to make visiting our website more attractive and allow the use of certain functions, we use cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your end device. Some of the cookies we use are erased at the end of the browser session, i.e. when the browser is closed (session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and allow us or our partner companies (cookies from third party providers) to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). Where cookies are saved, they collect and process certain user information, such as browser and location data and IP address values, in an individual scope. Persistent cookies are automatically erased after a prescribed period, which differs from cookie to cookie.

Some cookies are used to simplify the order process by saving settings (e.g. remembering the content of a virtual shopping cart for a subsequent visit to the website). Where individual cookies implemented by us also process personal data, this processing is either in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR in order to perform the contract or in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR in order to protect our legitimate interests in the best possible function of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the page visit.

We use the double opt-in process for sending the newsletter. This means that we will only begin sending you the email newsletter once you have explicitly confirmed your permission for the sending of the newsletter. We will then send you a confirmation email, in which you are asked to click a link to confirm that you would like to receive the newsletter in future.

The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. email address) is saved on the CleverReach servers in Germany and Ireland.

CleverReach uses this information to send and statistically analyze the newsletter on our behalf. For this analysis, the emails sent contain web beacons or tracking pixels – one-pixel image files that are saved on our website. This enables us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked. Using conversion tracking, we can also analyze whether clicking the link in the newsletter is followed by a pre-defined action (e.g. purchase of a product on our website). Technical information (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system) is also recorded. The data is collected exclusively in pseudonymized form and is not linked to other personal data on you; direct reference to a person is ruled out. This data is used exclusively for statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to adapt future newsletters better to the interests of the recipients.

If you would like to object to this data analysis for the purposes of statistical analysis, you need to unsubscribe from the newsletter.

We have concluded an order processing contract with CleverReach, in which we obligate CleverReach to protect our customers’ data and prohibit them from disclosing it to third parties.

13) Period of storage of personal data

The period of storage of personal data depends on the statutory retention period in each case (e.g. retention periods under trade and tax law). Following expiration of the deadline, the relevant data is routinely erased, unless it is still required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation and/or we have a legitimate interest in its continued storage.
