This ensures that the data you send to us via this website cannot be intercepted by third parties. You can identify an encrypted connection by the ‘https://’ in your browser’s address bar and the padlock symbol shown before it.

These items of data are not aggregated with data from other sources. The basis for data processing is given by point (b) of art. 6(1) of the EU GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual activities.

Personal data is shared with third parties only in cases where this is necessary as part of contract execution. Such third parties may be payment service providers or logistics firms, for example.

Our website uses functions from the web analytics service Google Analytics, as provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, which are small text files that your web browser stores on your device and which enable the analysis of website usage. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is transmitted to a Google server, where it is then stored. The server is typically located in the USA.

The legal basis for the setting of Google Analytics cookies is point (f) of art. 6(1) of the EU GDPR. As operators of this website, we have a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behaviour, with the aim of optimising our website and (potentially) advertising.

We use Google Analytics in conjunction with its ‘IP anonymisation’ feature. This ensures that Google will truncate your IP address before sending it to the USA if you access this site within Member States of the European Union or in other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. In exceptional cases, Google may transmit the full IP address to a Google server in the USA and truncate it there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, so as to be able to compile reports on website activity, and provide us with other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted to Google Analytics is never aggregated with other data held by Google.

You can configure your web browser so it does not set cookies. However, this may restrict some of the functionality offered by our website. You can also prevent the collection of data related to your website usage, including your IP address, as well as the subsequent processing of this data by Google. To do so, you will need to download and install the browser plugin that is accessible using the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

You can prevent data collection by Google Analytics if you click the following link. This will set an opt-out cookie that prevents your data being collected in the future when you visit this website. Deactivate Google Analytics.

Details of how user data is handled by Google Analytics are provided by Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

Google as data processor
To ensure we are fully compliant with the provisions of data protection law, we have concluded a data processing contract with Google.

Our website uses demographic functionality provided by Google Analytics. This enables reports to be created that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of page visitors. This data is sourced from Google’s interest-related advertising and visitor data from third-party providers. It is not possible to use this data to identify a specific individual. You can deactivate this functionality at any time. You can do so either by configuring the Ads Settings in your Google account or by generally preventing the collection of your data by Google Analytics, as detailed in the ‘Opt-out of Google Analytics tracking’ section.
