3. Information about data processing

Insofar as no detailed information is given below regarding the individual data processing, the data of the user processed by the provider shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory storage requirements.

  • Browser type and version;
  • Operating system used;

Cookies

a) “Session” cookies/ „persistente“ cookies

The provider uses cookies on its website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technology which the internet browser of the user places and stores on their device. These cookies process certain user information in an individually defined scope, such as browser and location data, plus IP address values.

This processing helps the provider make its website more user friendly, effective and more secure. They facilitate the processing or possible forwarding of content in different languages or, if required, the use of a shopping basket function.

The "persistent" cookies allow the website to recognize the user through his browser in a timely repeated visit to the website to not reproduce the already issued notice on the use of cookies.

The processing serves the legitimate interest of the provider with regard to improving functionality of the website and the fulfillment of legal requirements and is based on the legal basis of Article 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR.

The “session” cookies are deleted once the user closes his or her browser. The "persistent" cookies are automatically deleted after a deadline set by the provider. This period varies by cookie but does not exceed one year.

b) Cookies from third party providers

Cookies from third party providers may be used on the website of the provider if required. These third party providers are partner companies which the provider works with for purposes of advertising, analysis or the functionality of the website. If this is the case, the purposes and legal basis of the corresponding processing shall be shown in the subsequent sections.

c) Option of removal

The user can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by changing the settings in his or her browser software accordingly. Cookies already stored can also be deleted at any time. The settings for this depend on the browser in question. For Flash cookies, the processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings, rather the corresponding settings of the Flash player. If the user prohibits or restricts the installation of cookies, this may mean that all functions of the website may not be fully usable.
