Shopify Platform 

Through the use of the shopping platform "Shopify," so-called "cookies" are used on our websites. No conclusions about your identity can be drawn from cookie technology. Only pseudonymized information is generated. 

Most browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc.) accept cookies by default. You can independently allow or block temporary and stored cookies in the security settings. However, we expressly point out that certain features on our websites may not be available to you and some web pages may not display correctly if you disable cookies. 

Further information is also available on the Shopify websites (shopify.com). You can read Shopify's privacy policy at https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy. 

Facebook Social Plugin 

We offer you the ability to recommend offers, promotions, products, and announcements via Facebook. For this purpose, we use social plugins from Facebook. These services are provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (Facebook). The list and appearance of Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/ 

When the web page loads in your browser, the code of the social plugins is retrieved directly from a Facebook server by your browser and embedded into the web page displayed in your browser. We therefore have no influence over the scope of the data retrieved by Facebook in this context.

According to its own statements, Facebook stores the date and time of your visit, the specific web address where the social plugin is located, and other technical data such as IP address, browser type, and operating system for a period of 90 days, in order to further optimize Facebook's services. After the 90-day period, the data is anonymized so that it can no longer be associated with you. 

If you are logged into Facebook during your visit to this online shop, Facebook can associate the pages you visit with your Facebook account. Through interaction with social plugins (clicking, etc.), the information generated by the interaction is transmitted to Facebook and stored there. You can prevent this by logging out of Facebook before visiting our website. 

It is also possible to block Facebook social plugins entirely. There are extensions for the respective browser (e.g., Facebook Blocker) that you need to install and activate for your respective browser. 

Facebook's privacy notices and further privacy settings can be found here: 

https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/ 

Please also check all the provided links to Facebook, as Facebook's privacy policies are regularly updated and adjusted due to expanded functionalities of the social plugins. 

Use of Google (Universal) Analytics for Web Analysis 

For website analysis, this website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (www.google.de). This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests, in an optimized presentation of our offerings pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR. Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods that enable analysis of your use of the Website, such as cookies. The automatically collected information about your use of this Website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. By activating IP anonymization on this website, the IP address is truncated prior to transmission within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA

and truncated there. Once the purpose has been fulfilled and our use of Google Analytics has ended, the data collected in this context will be deleted. 

Google LLC is headquartered in the USA and is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. A current certificate can be viewed at the company. Based on this agreement between the USA and the European Commission, the latter has established an adequate level of data protection for companies certified under the Privacy Shield. 

You can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the Website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin at the following link: 

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout 

As an alternative to the browser plugin, you can click this link to prevent future collection by Google Analytics on this Website. An opt-out cookie will be placed on your device. If you delete your cookies, you will need to click the link again. 

Advertising via Marketing Networks: Google AdWords Remarketing 

Through Google AdWords, we advertise this Website in Google search results and on third-party websites. For this purpose, when you visit our Website, the so-called remarketing cookie from Google is set, which automatically enables interest-based advertising by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you have visited. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests, in the optimal marketing of our website pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR. Once the purpose has been fulfilled and our use of Google AdWords Remarketing has ended, the data collected in this context will be deleted. 

Further data processing only takes place if you have consented to Google linking your web and app browsing history with your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalize ads that you see on the web. If, in this case, you are logged into Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing.

For this purpose, your personal data is temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data to form audiences. 

Google AdWords Remarketing is a service provided by Google LLC (www.google.de). Google LLC is headquartered in the USA and is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. A current certificate can be viewed here. Based on this agreement between the USA and the European Commission, the latter has established an adequate level of data protection for companies certified under the Privacy Shield.

Facebook Pixel 

Within our online offering, we use the so-called "Facebook Pixel" of the social network Facebook, based on our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering. This is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, if you are resident in the EU, by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"). 

With the help of the Facebook Pixel, Facebook is able to determine the visitors of our offering as a target audience for the display of ads, so-called "Facebook Ads." Accordingly, we use the Facebook Pixel to optimize the interest of our target audiences.
