Privacy<\/strong><\/p>

We have written this data protection declaration (version 21.02.2021-321264412)\u00a0to explain\u00a0to you in accordance with the provisions of the General\u00a0Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016\/679<\/a>\u00a0what information we collect, how we use data and what options you have as a visitor to this website .<\/p>

Privacy statements usually sound very technical.\u00a0However, this version should describe the most important things to you as simply and clearly as possible.\u00a0As far as possible, technical terms are explained in a reader-friendly manner.\u00a0We would also like to convey that we only collect and use information with this website if there is a corresponding legal basis.\u00a0That is certainly not possible if you give as brief, technical explanations as possible, as they are often standard on the Internet when it comes to data protection.\u00a0I hope you find the following explanations interesting and informative and maybe there is one or the other piece of information that you were not familiar with.

If you still have questions, we would like to ask you to follow the existing links and look at further information on third-party sites, or simply write us an email.\u00a0You will find our contact information in the imprint.<\/p>

Automatic data storage<\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0<\/strong>When you visit websites these days, certain information is automatically created and stored, including on this website.\u00a0This collected data should be collected as possible sparingly and only with reasons\u00a0are\u00a0.\u00a0By the way, by website we mean the entirety of all websites on your domain, ie everything from the start page (homepage) to the very last subpage (like this one).\u00a0By domain we mean example.de or musterbeispiel.com.<\/p>

Also, while you are visiting our site now, our web server stores – this is the computer on which the website is stored\u00a0–\u00a0from\u00a0operational safety reasons, to create and access statistics, etc. automatically in the control data as<\/p>

  • the complete Internet address (URL) of the website called up (e.g. https:\/\/www.beispielwebsite.de\/beispielunterseite.html\/)<\/li>
  • Browser and browser version (e.g. Chrome 87)<\/li>
  • the operating system used (e.g. Windows 10)<\/li>
  • the address (URL) of the previously visited page (\u00a0referrer\u00a0URL) (e.g. https:\/\/www.beispielquellsite.de\/vondabinichgekommen.html\/)<\/li>
  • the host name and the IP address of the device from which access is made (e.g. COMPUTERNAME and 194.23.43.121)<\/li>
  • Date and Time<\/li>
  • in files, the so-called web server log files.<\/li><\/ul>

    As an illustration:<\/p>

    As a rule, these files are stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted.\u00a0We do not pass on this data, but we cannot rule out that this data will be viewed by the authorities in the event of illegal behavior.<\/p>

    In short: your visit will be logged by our provider (company that runs our website on special computers (servers)), but we will not pass on your data!<\/p>

    Cookies<\/strong><\/p>

    \u00a0<\/strong>Our website uses\u00a0HTTP cookies to\u00a0save user-specific data.
    In the following we explain what cookies are and why they are used so that you can better understand the following data protection declaration.<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

    What exactly are cookies?<\/strong><\/p>

    \u00a0<\/strong>Whenever you surf the Internet, you are using a browser.\u00a0Well-known browsers are, for example, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge.\u00a0Most websites save small text files in your browser.\u00a0These files are called cookies.<\/p>

    One thing cannot be dismissed out of hand: Cookies are really useful little helpers.\u00a0Almost all websites use\u00a0cookies.\u00a0More precisely, they are HTTP cookies, as there are also other\u00a0cookies for other areas of application.\u00a0HTTP cookies\u00a0are small files that our website stores on your computer.\u00a0These cookie files are automatically placed in the cookie folder, which is the \u201cbrain\u201d of your browser.\u00a0A cookie consists of a name and a value.\u00a0When defining a cookie, one or more attributes must also be specified.<\/p>

    Cookies\u00a0save certain user data about you, such as language or personal page settings.\u00a0When you call up our site again, your browser transmits the „user-related“ information back to our site.\u00a0Thanks to cookies, our website knows who you are and offers you your usual standard settings.\u00a0In some browsers, each\u00a0cookie\u00a0has its own file, in others, such as Firefox, all\u00a0cookies\u00a0are stored in a single file.<\/p>

    There are both first-party cookies and third-party cookies.\u00a0First-party cookies are created directly from our side, third-party cookies are created by partner websites (e.g. Google Analytics).\u00a0Each cookie must be evaluated individually, as each cookie stores different data.\u00a0The expiry time of a cookie also varies from a few minutes to a few years.\u00a0Cookies are not software programs and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other „pests“.\u00a0Cookies cannot access information on your PC either.<\/p>

    For example, cookie data can look like this:<\/p>

    • Name: _\u00a0ga<\/li>
    • Expiry time: 2 years<\/li>
    • Use: Differentiation of website visitors<\/li>
    • Exemplary value:\u00a0GA1.2.1326744211.152321264412<\/li><\/ul>

      A browser should support the following minimum sizes:<\/p>

      • A cookie should be able to contain at least 4096 bytes<\/li>
      • At least 50 cookies should be able to be saved per domain<\/li>
      • A total of at least 3000 cookies should be able to be stored<\/li><\/ul>

        What types of cookies are there?<\/strong><\/p>

        \u00a0<\/strong>The question of which cookies we use in particular depends on the services used and is\u00a0clarified\u00a0in the following sections of\u00a0the data protection declaration.\u00a0At this point we would like to briefly discuss the different types of HTTP cookies.<\/p>

        There are 4 types of cookies:<\/p>

        \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

        Absolutely necessary cookies<\/strong><\/p>

        These cookies are necessary to ensure the basic functions of the website. For example, these cookies are needed when a user puts a product in the shopping cart, then continues surfing on other pages and only goes to checkout later. These cookies do not delete the shopping cart, even if the user closes his browser window.<\/p>

        \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

        Functional cookies<\/strong>
        These cookies collect information about user behavior and whether the user receives any error messages. These cookies are also used to measure the loading time and the behavior of the website in different browsers.<\/p>

        \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

        Goal-oriented cookies<\/strong>
        These cookies ensure better user-friendliness.\u00a0For example, entered locations, font sizes or form data are saved.<\/p>

        \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

        Advertising cookies<\/strong>
        These cookies are also called\u00a0targeting\u00a0cookies.\u00a0They serve to deliver customized advertising to the user.\u00a0That can be very practical, but also very annoying.<\/p>

        When\u00a0you\u00a0visit a website for the first time, you will usually be asked which of these\u00a0types of cookies\u00a0you would like to allow.\u00a0And of course this decision is also saved in a cookie.<\/p>

        \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

        How can I delete cookies?<\/strong><\/p>

        You decide for yourself how and whether you want to use cookies. Regardless of which service or website the cookies originate from, you always have the option\u00a0of deleting cookies, only partially allowing them or deactivating them.\u00a0For example, you can block third-party cookies but allow all other cookies.<\/p>

        If you want to find out which cookies have been stored in your browser, if you want to change or delete cookie settings, you can find this in your browser settings:<\/p>

        Chrome: Delete, activate and manage cookies in Chrome<\/a><\/p>

        Safari: manage cookies and website data with Safari<\/a><\/p>

        Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have stored on your computer<\/a><\/p>

        Internet Explorer: deleting and managing cookies<\/a><\/p>

        Microsoft Edge: Deleting and managing cookies<\/a><\/p>

        If you generally do not want cookies, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is to be set.\u00a0In this way you can decide for each individual cookie whether or not to allow the cookie.\u00a0The procedure is different depending on the browser.\u00a0It is best to search for the instructions in Google with the search term \u201cdelete cookies Chrome\u201d or \u201cdeactivate cookies Chrome\u201d in the case of a Chrome browser or replace the word \u201cChrome\u201d with the name of your browser, e.g. Edge, Firefox, Safari.<\/p>
