Cookie Policy
What are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files saved on your personal Computer, Tablet and on Mobile device.
A cookie is a file that allows a website to recognize a user via a browser after the first visit. We use cookies to keep track of your shopping cart, to display recently viewed items, to provide you with relevant product recommendations and also to remember you when you return to our website.
Our Cookie policy:
Our cookies never contain personal data. Cookies are not a security risk for your data. Cookies are not constantly running applications; they will not copy or obtain files on your computer, besides they are not able to transmit viruses.
Many sites use cookies to simplify their offers for the users and to increase their usability: for example the cart of our online store or displaying site-directed advertising. If cookies are disabled, only a limited use of specific web offers will work.
Why we use Cookies:
There are many reasons why we use cookies. They range from an automated log-in to the facilitation of online purchases, for the optimization of websites, eg. by matching an offer to the special needs of a user. Cookies allow website operators to constantly update their offers to their customer’s needs and interests.
Which Cookies do we use?
We have different cookies set by our website:
1st Party Cookie
First-party cookie is a cookie also known as persistent cookie. Persistent (permanent) cookies are stored on your computer and cease to be valid only if their assigned expiration date has passed. Depending on that date, a persistent cookie could be valid for a few seconds, over days to several of years.
3rd Party Cookie
A third-party cookie is a tracking cookie set by a third party. The advantage of 3rd party cookies, however, is that you must not install a code on the landing page. Therefore, 3rd party cookie tracking is technically easier than 1st party cookie. Google AdWords uses 3rd party cookies to determine the conversion rate. Google Analytics for example uses 1st party cookies.

Notes on the use and application of Google Analytics incl. Google Signals
We have integrated the analysis tracking tool Google Analytics including Google Signals provided by Google, Inc. The operating company of Google Analytics is Google, Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. For the European area, the company Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland, is responsible for all Google services, whereby the supervisory authorities have established joint responsibility between the two Google companies. Google Analytics is a traffic analysis or web analytics service. This refers to the collection, compilation and evaluation of data (so-called "signals") about the behaviour of visitors to websites. Google signals are session data from websites and apps that Google links to users who are logged into their Google account and have activated personalised advertising. Linking data to these logged-in users enables cross-device reporting, cross-device remarketing, and the export of cross-device conversions to Google Ads. If you have consented to this, Google may be able to see how you interact in different browsers and on different devices. For example, Google and we may see how you search for products on our website on a smartphone and later return to complete purchases on a tablet or laptop. Also, after consent has been given, these actions may be stored, for example, in cookies and/or sent to Google servers in the USA and processed there. Based on this, we receive reports from Google that we can use to optimise our offer. If you already have a Google account, there is also the possibility that Google will link this data. However, Google itself does not pass on any data collected by Google Analytics unless this is required by law.
