Additionally, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your hard drive, associated with the browser you are using, that provide us with specific information. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. They are used to make the internet service more user-friendly and effective overall.
Our website uses transient cookies and persistent cookies. Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These include session cookies, which store a session ID that links various requests from your browser to a single session. Your computer can thus be recognized when you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specific period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time. You can configure your browser settings according to your preferences, such as rejecting third-party or all cookies. However, this may limit the functionality of the website.
We also use cookies to identify you for future visits if you have an account with us. Otherwise, you would need to log in again each time you visit.
4. SSL/TLS Encryption
This site uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of sensitive content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser's address line from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser line. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
5. Additional Functions and Offers of Our Website
In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services that you can use if interested. For this, you typically need to provide additional personal data, which we use to provide the respective service. The aforementioned principles of data processing apply to these activities. Occasionally, we use external service providers to process your data. These providers have been carefully selected, commissioned, and are bound by our instructions and regularly monitored.
We may also pass on your personal data to third parties if events, competitions, contract conclusions, or similar services are offered by us jointly with partners. You will receive more detailed information about this when you provide your personal data or in the description of the offer.
6. Objection or Withdrawal of Consent for Data Processing
If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can withdraw this consent at any time. Such a withdrawal will affect the legality of the processing of your personal data after you have expressed it to us. If we base the processing of your personal data on a balancing of interests, you can object to the processing. This is particularly the case if the processing is not necessary to fulfill a contract with you, which we explain in the following descriptions of the functions. When you object, please explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either stop or adjust the data processing or provide you with compelling reasons to continue processing.

8.1 Use of Social Networks
Instagram:
On our company’s Instagram page, we provide information and offer Instagram users the opportunity to communicate. If you perform any action on our Instagram company page (e.g., comments, posts, likes, etc.), it is possible that you may make personal data (e.g., your real name or photo on your profile) public. Since we usually do not influence the processing of your personal data by Instagram, we cannot make binding statements about the scope and purpose of this data processing. Our Instagram presence is used for communication and information exchange with (potential) customers. This includes providing information about products and services, conducting sweepstakes, advertising, and customer contact.
Instagram has committed to complying with European data protection laws through certification under the Privacy Shield agreement. You can find more information here: Privacy Shield Instagram.

Google Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies," which are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your website usage. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on our website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
