We solely use the personal information provided by you for the performance of a contract or the processing of your inquiries. For other purposes, such as e.g. consulting, advertising and market analysis, we only use your personal data after having obtained your prior consent or if we are entitled or obliged to do so pursuant to applicable law.

This data serves exclusively to ensure smooth operation of our website and to improve our offering. It is not possible to assign this data to a particular person.

If you do not want us to recognize your device, please set your browser so that it deletes cookies from your device, blocks all cookies or warns you before a cookie is stored. However, you may not be able to use the full functionality of the website in this case.

We use the following types of cookies for our Website (the legal basis for the processing of personal data by using cookies in each case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR):

Session cookies or functional cookies (e.g. to keep navigation elements open or for help texts). Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These store a so-called session ID, with which different requests of your browser can be assigned to the common session. This will allow your device to be recognized when you visit the Website again.

Language or regional settings cookies. This allows us to save the country, currency or language settings with which the Website is to be accessed. Some functions of the Website cannot be offered without the use of these cookies. For these functions it is necessary that the browser is recognized. The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.

Google Maps

This Website uses map data from Google Maps. The supplier of this content (hereinfafter referred to as “third-party supplier”) must be able to identify the IP addresses of users in order to provide their services. Without users’ IP addresses they are unable to send the relevant content to the user’s browser. The IP address is thus required so that the content can be displayed. We make every effort to use only content supplied by parties that use the IP address solely for the purposes of delivering the content. However, we have no influence over whether or not the third party supplier stores the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as we are aware of such, we shall notify users.
