Cookies
Our website uses cookies. Cookies do not harm your device and do not contain viruses. They are used to make our website 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”, which 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 on your next visit.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies necessary for the electronic communication process or the provision of certain functions you request (e.g., shopping cart functionality) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g., for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, they are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

When you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, your details from the form, including the contact information you provide, are stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. An informal email notification is sufficient. The legality of data processing operations carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.
We retain the data you provide in the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected.
