They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you visit our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services provided by the third-party company (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain

website features would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart feature or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or display advertisements.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing

certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function) are stored

pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent has been requested (e.g., consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR; consent may be revoked at any time.

. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your

consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), provided that such consent was requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request that we delete it,

withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.

4. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we need your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No other data is collected, or is collected only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send you the requested information and do not share it with third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address, as well as their use for sending the newsletter, at any time—for example, via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.

The data you have provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, at which point it will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing list, your email address will be stored by us or the

newsletter service provider—as applicable—on a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used solely for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). There is no time limit on storage in the blacklist. You may object to this storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
