§5 Use of cookies
a) Description and scope of data processing
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user’s computer system. When a user accesses a website, a cookie may be stored on the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the accessing browser can be identified even after a page change. We also use cookies on our website that enable an analysis of the user’s surfing behavior.
The user data collected in this way is pseudonymized by technical precautions. It is therefore no longer possible to assign the data to the accessing user. The data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
When accessing our website, users are informed by an info banner about the use of cookies for analysis purposes and referred to this privacy policy. In this context, there is also a reference to how the storage of cookies can be prevented in the browser settings.
b) Purpose of the processing
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary for the browser to be recognized even after a page change. The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.
Analysis cookies are used for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its content. Through the analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and can thus constantly optimize our offer.
c) Duration of storage, possibility of objection and removal

§8 Google Analytics
a) Scope of data processing
We use Google Analytics on our website, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies” (text files) which are stored on the user’s computer. The information generated by these cookies (time, location and frequency of website visits) is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.
We use Google Analytics with the code extension “anonymizeIp”. This means that the IP address of the user within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area is shortened before transmission to Google and thus anonymized. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. For these exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
b) Purpose of the data processing
The processing of users’ personal data enables us to analyze the use of our website. This analysis enables us to continuously improve the content of our website and its user-friendliness. This also constitutes our legitimate interest in the processing of data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. By anonymizing the IP address, the interest of users in the protection of their personal data is sufficiently taken into account.
c) Duration of storage
By default, sessions are ended after 30 minutes without activity and campaigns after six months. The time limit for campaigns can be a maximum of two years.
d) Possibility of objection and removal
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted by it to our website. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies.

§9 PayPal
a) Scope of data processing
We use components of the online payment service provider PayPal on our website. If PayPal is selected by the user as a payment method, payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which are virtual private or business accounts. PayPal also offers the option of processing virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there is no classic account number. PayPal makes it possible to initiate online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also assumes trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, cell phone number or other data necessary for payment processing. Personal data that is necessary for processing the contract is also data that is related to the respective order.
PayPal may pass on the personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors if this is necessary to fulfill the contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on behalf of PayPal. PayPal may also transmit the personal data to credit agencies.
The European operating company is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A. (22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg). The applicable data protection provisions of PayPal may be retrieved under https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
b) Purpose of the data processing
The transmission of the data serves the purpose of payment processing and fraud prevention as well as identity and credit checks.
c) Possibility of objection and removal
The user has the possibility to revoke the consent to the handling of personal data at any time vis-à-vis PayPal. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.
