Overview of Cookies

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

These data will not be merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data without your consent. The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The legality of data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Registration on this Website
You can register on our website to use additional features on the site. We will only use the data entered for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration. For important changes, such as the scope of the offer or technical changes, we will use the email address provided during registration to inform you in this way. The processing of data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an email. The legality of data processing carried out prior to revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The data collected during registration will be stored by us as long as you are registered on our website and will subsequently be deleted. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

Processing of Data (Customer and Contract Data)
We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary for the establishment, content-related design, or modification of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We only collect, process, and use personal data about the use of our website (usage data) to the extent necessary to enable or bill the user for the use of the service. The customer data collected will be deleted after the order has been completed or the business relationship has ended. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

Data Transmission upon Contract Conclusion for Services and Digital Content
We only transmit personal data to third parties if this is necessary within the scope of the contract processing, for example, to the bank commissioned with payment processing. Further transmission of data does not occur or only if you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example, for advertising purposes. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

5. Online Marketing and Affiliate Programs

adgoal
The operators of the pages use the services of adgoal. Adgoal is a service provider for marketing solutions that assists website operators in generating advertising revenue. The products of adgoal do not influence the content of the website operator. They work purely in a context-sensitive (content-related) manner. When a user clicks on a link to an external page, adgoal automatically checks whether an affiliate/partner link can be generated from this link, through which we can earn advertising reimbursement. If this is the case, the user is redirected to the advertiser through their affiliate program, which they may operate within an affiliate network. For this purpose, the advertiser or the affiliate network sets a cookie to trace the origin of the order. This allows the advertiser to recognize that you clicked on the partner link on our website. The services of adgoal and the resulting cookies from the affiliate networks and advertisers are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in this, as the amount of their affiliate compensation can only be determined through the cookies. For more information on data usage by adgoal, please refer to adgoal's privacy policy: https://www.adgoal.de/de/privacy.html .

Affiliate Networks and Other Partner Programs
The operators of the pages participate in various partner programs. On our pages, links to advertisers are integrated through partner programs, through which we can earn advertising reimbursement. For this purpose, the advertiser or the potentially intermediate affiliate network sets a cookie to trace the origin of the order. This allows the advertiser to recognize that you clicked on the partner link on our website. The storage of these cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in this, as the amount of their affiliate compensation can only be determined through the cookies.
