Our website uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause harm to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our services more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or generally, and enable automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Cookies that are necessary for the completion of the electronic communication process or for providing certain features requested by you (e.g., shopping cart functions) are stored based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technical error-free and optimized provision of its services. Other cookies (e.g., cookies used for analyzing your browsing behavior) will be handled separately in this privacy policy.

Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This function allows the remarketing audiences created with Google Analytics Remarketing to be linked with the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick.

If you have given the corresponding consent, Google links your web and app browsing history with your Google account for this purpose. This way, the same personalized advertisements can be displayed on any device on which you log in to your Google account.

To support this function, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of users, which are temporarily linked with our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device ad targeting.

You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalized ads in your Google account; follow this link: Google Ads Settings.

The collection of data in your Google account occurs solely based on your consent, which you may grant or revoke with Google (Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter a of the GDPR). For data collection processes that are not linked in your Google account (e.g., because you do not have a Google account or have objected to linking), the collection of data is based on Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter f of the GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the website operator’s interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

Further information and the privacy policy can be found in Google’s privacy policy: Google Privacy Policy.
