You can recognize an encrypted connection by the character string "https://" and the lock symbol in your browser line.
2) DATA COLLECTION WHEN VISITING OUR WEBSITE
When using our website purely for information purposes, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files"). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website:

The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be passed on or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to subsequently check the server log files if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.
3) COOKIES
To make visiting our website attractive and enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and allow us or our partner companies (third-party cookies) to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies).
If cookies are set, they collect and process specific user information such as browser and location data and IP address values on an individual basis. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie.
In part, the cookies serve to simplify the order process by saving settings (e.g., remembering the contents of a virtual shopping cart for a later visit). Insofar as personal data is also processed by individual cookies implemented by us, the processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR either for the execution of the contract or pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interest in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.
We may work with advertising partners who help us make our online offering more interesting for you. For this purpose, cookies from partner companies may also be stored on your hard drive when you visit our website (third-party cookies). If we cooperate with such advertising partners, you will be individually and separately informed about the use of such cookies and the scope of the collected information in the paragraphs below.
Please note that you can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and decide individually about their acceptance or exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general. Each browser differs in how it manages cookie settings. You can find this described in the help menu of each browser.
