1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit our website. They allow us to recognize your browser during future visits and store certain settings or information.

In addition to classic cookies, similar technologies such as Local Storage or Session Storage may also be used, which serve comparable functions. Whenever we refer to “cookies” in this policy, this includes all such technologies.

Cookies may be set by us directly (first-party cookies) or by third parties whose services we integrate into our website (third-party cookies).

2. Legal basis

The storage of cookies and access to information on end-user devices are governed in Germany by Section 25 of the TTDSG (Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act):

Section 25 (1) TTDSG applies to all other cookies, which may only be used with the user’s explicit consent.

Any subsequent processing of personal data is based on the GDPR:

• Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR for necessary cookies used in connection with the initiation or performance of a contract
• Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR for necessary cookies based on our legitimate interest in the proper operation of the shop
• Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR for non-essential cookies based on your consent
