Server data

For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable Internet presence, data is transmitted to us or to our web space provider by your Internet browser. These so-called server log files collect, among other things, the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you switched to our website (referrer URL), the website(s) of our website that you visit, the date and time of the respective access and the IP address of the Internet connection from which the use of our website takes place.

This data collected in this way is temporarily stored, but not together with other data from you.

This storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.

The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, unless further storage is required for evidentiary purposes. Otherwise, the data will be completely or partially excluded from deletion until the final clarification of an incident.

Cookies

a) Session cookies/session cookies

We use so-called cookies with our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored on your terminal device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information about you to an individual extent, such as your browser or location data or your IP address.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as the processing enables, for example, the reproduction of our website in different languages or the offer of a shopping cart function.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that these cookies are processed for the initiation or execution of contracts.

If the processing does not serve the purpose of initiating or processing the contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
