The controller decides alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, contact details, etc.).
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Only with your express consent are some data processing procedures possible. You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal notification by e-mail is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority
As a data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of a breach of data protection law.

Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to third parties. The data will be provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another person responsible, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Right to information, correction, blocking, deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, the origin of the data, its recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, the right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data. For this purpose and also for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time using the contact options listed in the imprint.
SSL- and TLS- encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the "https://" address line of your browser and the lock symbol in the browser line.

Cookies
Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your terminal device. Cookies help us to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Some cookies are session cookies. Such cookies are deleted automatically at the end of your browser session. On the other hand, other cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them yourself. Such cookies help us to recognise you when you return to our website. With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict or prevent the setting of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured so that cookies are automatically deleted when the programme is closed. Deactivating cookies may result in limited functionality of our website. The setting of cookies, which are necessary for the execution of electronic communication processes or the provision of certain functions desired by you (e.g. shopping cart), is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and smooth provision of our services. If other cookies are set (e.g. for analysis functions), these are treated separately in this data protection declaration.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies are absolutely necessary for the functionality of the webshop. These cookies assign a unique random ID to your browser so that your unhindered shopping experience can be guaranteed over several page views.
Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies are used to display advertisements on the website in a targeted and individual manner over several page views and browser sessions.
Tracking cookies
Tracking cookies help the shop operator to collect and evaluate information about the behaviour of users on their website.
Personalisation cookies
These cookies are used to collect and process information about the use of the website by users in order to subsequently personalise advertising and/or content in other contexts.
Service cookies
Service cookies are used to provide the user with additional offers on the website. Information obtained via these service cookies may also be processed for page analysis.
In the cookie settings you will find a comprehensive overview of all cookies used as well as the possibility of configuration.
Google Analytics 4
Our website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider of the web analytics service is Google Inc., Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4. Irland. Google Analytics uses "cookies." These are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device and enable an analysis of website use. Information generated by cookies about your use of our website is sent to a Google server and stored there. The server is usually located in the USA. Google Analytics cookies are set on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise our website and possibly also our advertising.
IP-Anonymisierung
We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymisation function. This ensures that Google truncates your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transferring it to the USA. There may be exceptional cases in which Google transfers the full IP address to a server in the USA and truncates it there. Google will use this information on our behalf 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 us. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google.
Browser Plugin
The setting of cookies by your web browser can be prevented. However, some functions of our website may be restricted as a result. You can also prevent the collection of data relating to your website use, including your IP address and subsequent processing by Google. This is possible by downloading and installing the browser plugin accessible via the following link
Opting out of the collection of data by Google
You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie is set that prevents the collection of your data during future visits to our website. For details on how Google Analytics handles user data, please refer to Google's privacy policy.
Order processing
In order to fully comply with the legal data protection requirements, we have concluded an order processing agreement with Google.
Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics
Our website uses the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics. It can be used to create reports that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google as well as from visitor data from third-party providers. It is not possible to assign the data to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time. You can do this via the ad settings in your Google account or by generally prohibiting the collection of your data by Google Analytics, as explained in the section entitled "Opting out of the collection of data".
Google Ads and Google Conversion tracking
Our website uses Google Ads. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States. Ads is an online advertising programme. As part of the online advertising programme, we work with conversion tracking. After a click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device. Google Ads cookies lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve to personally identify users. The cookie allows Google and us to recognise that you have clicked on an ad and have been redirected to our website. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies are not trackable across Ads customers' websites. Conversion cookies are used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who use conversion tracking. Ads clients learn how many users clicked on their ad and were redirected to pages with a conversion tracking tag. However, Ads clients do not receive any information that allows them to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can object to its use. In this case, the conversion cookie must be deactivated in the user settings of the browser. In this way, it will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. The storage of conversion cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. As website operators, we have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise our website and our advertising. Details on Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google's privacy policy.
Google Maps
On our website, we use Google Maps (API) from Google LLC., Google Inc., Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually represent geographical information. By using this service, our location is displayed to you, making it easier for you to find us. Our store finder also runs on Google Maps. When you visit the subpages that contain the Google Maps map, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in to or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want this association with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO based on Google's legitimate interests in displaying personalized advertising, conducting market research, and/or designing its website to meet user needs. Please note that with your consent, data may also be transferred to a third country outside the EU/EEA, which may have a lower level of data protection than the EU (Art. 49 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a EU-DSGVO). You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree to the future transfer of your data to Google in connection with the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by disabling JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website cannot then be used. You can view Google's terms of use at http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html, and the additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html. Details on the use of Google Maps can be found in Google's privacy policy.
Google Tag Manager
This website uses Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Inc., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. Tag Manager itself does not use cookies and no personal data is collected. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. Further information can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de and https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/tag-manager/
Sozial Networks
We use cookies and tracking technologies to show you exciting promotions and advertising tailored to your preferences on your preferred social media channels. For this purpose, pseudonymized data is transferred to the networks and, if necessary, merged with other data by the network. With your consent, data may be transferred to a third country outside the EU, which may have a lower level of data protection than the EU (Art. 49 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a EU-DSGVO).
This website uses the “Facebook pixel” and, via server-side tagging using Google Tag Manager, the Conversion API interface and other tracking technologies from Meta Inc. 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Facebook”), or, if you are located in the EU, Meta Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 1, Ireland. If you give your express consent, this allows the behavior of users to be tracked after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. This process serves to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help to optimize future advertising measures. The data collected is pseudonymous for us, meaning that it does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored by Google and transmitted to Facebook, where it is processed, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Use Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). You can prevent Facebook and its partners from placing enable advertisements on and outside of Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes. Facebook Custom Audiences also collects the following data from the use of our website: email address, gender, city, region, postal code, country, first and last name, telephone number, date of birth, IP address, Facebook ID, and browser ID. This enables Facebook to assign your data to a specific Facebook profile and to display appropriate advertising there. When collecting data, we rely on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a EU-DSGVO, § 25 Para. 1 TDDDG for the corresponding data processing, which you can of course revoke at any time by changing your privacy settings. If you revoke your consent, your data will no longer be used for this purpose and will be deleted, provided that there are no legal retention periods to the contrary. Without revocation, the data will be stored for 2 years. After that, the data will be automatically deleted. Consent to the replacement of Facebook Custom Audiences may only be given by users who are older than 13 years of age. If you are younger, we ask you to ask your legal guardians for permission. With your consent, data will be transferred to a third country outside the EU/EEA, which may have a lower level of data protection than the EU (Art. 49 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. A EU-DSGVO). To disable the use of cookies on your computer, you can set your Internet browser so that no more cookies can be stored on your computer in the future or cookies that have already been stored are deleted. However, disabling all cookies may mean that some functions on our website can no longer be performed. You can also disable the use of cookies by third-party providers such as Facebook on the following website of the Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ Specific information about the Facebook pixel and how it works can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.
This website uses the Pinterest tag from Pinterest Europe Ltd, WeWork, 2 Dublin Landings, N Wall Quay, Dublin 1, D01 V4A3 (“Pinterest”). The Pinterest tag is used to collect information about user behavior when they click on a Pinterest advertisement. The information is passed on to Pinterest for the purpose of behavior-based advertising on the Internet. The data collected is anonymous to us, so we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of users. Consent to the use of the Pinterest tag may only be given by users who are older than 13 years of age. If you are younger, please ask your legal guardians for permission. Please note that your consent may also involve the transfer of data to a third country outside the EU/EEA, which may have a lower level of data protection than the EU (Art. 49 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a EU-DS-GVO). You can disable behaviorally targeted advertising on Pinterest in your personalization settings (https://www.pinterest.com/). When collecting data, we rely on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a EU-DSGVO for the corresponding data processing, which you can of course revoke at any time by changing your privacy settings.
