Our website uses cookies and similar technologies (for convenience, these are all referred to as “cookies”). Cookies are also placed by third parties commissioned by us. In the document below we inform you about the use of cookies on our website.

Summary: We don't like cookies, and just like you, we don't like cookie banners either. That's why we're constantly working to make our website as cookie-free as possible. With the exception of the firewall, login, and form functions, we've largely achieved this. In some cases, even our tracking, which is already anonymized, works entirely without the use of cookies.

Technology

A cookie is a small, simple text file that is sent along with pages of this website and stored by your browser on the hard drive of your computer or other device. The information stored in it can be returned to our servers or to the servers of the relevant third parties on a subsequent visit. In data protection, a distinction is made between three types of cookies. The cookie banner and this cookie policy inform you about which cookies are specifically used on this website.

Technically necessary and functional cookies

Some cookies ensure that certain parts of the website function properly and your user preferences are still remembered. By setting functional cookies, we make it easier for you to visit our website. This means you do not have to enter the same information repeatedly when you visit our website, for example items remain in your shopping cart until you have paid. We may place these cookies without your consent.

We use statistical cookies to optimize the website experience for our users. With these statistics cookies we gain insights into the use of our website. We ask for your permission to set analytical cookies.
Marketing/tracking cookies

Marketing/Tracking cookies are cookies or other form of local storage used to create user profiles in order to display advertisements or to track the user within websites or across multiple websites for similar marketing purposes.
