The servers automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits when you visit the website. The stored information is:
- Information about the browser type and the version used
- The user's operating system
- Date and time of access
- Websites from which the user's system accessed our website
- Websites the user's system accessed through our website
This data will not be merged with other data sources. The data is collected based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website -and server log files are therefore recorded.
The server of the website is geographically located in the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA).
We use the IP address and other information provided by the user (e.g. the postal code used for registration or ordering) to approach regional target groups (so-called "geotargeting").
The regional target group approach is used, for example, to automatically display regional offers or advertisements that often are more relevant to users. The legal basis for the use of the IP address and any other information provided by the user (e.g. postal code) is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in ensuring a more precise target group approach and thus providing offers and advertising with greater relevance for our users.
Part of the IP address and the additional information provided by the user (e.g. postal code) are merely processed and not stored separately.
You can prevent geotargeting by, for example, using a VPN or proxy server that prevents accurate localisation. In addition, depending on the browser you are using, you can also deactivate a location localisation in the corresponding browser settings (as far as this is supported by the respective browser).
We use geotargeting on our website for the following purposes:
