1. How We Collect Information

You can visit our website and use some of our Internet offerings without providing any personal information. Whenever you access the website, the web server merely automatically stores access data in server log files, which are automatically communicated by your browser, such as the name of the requested file, the last website visited, the date and time of the access, the browser used, the amount of data transferred, the IP address, the requesting provider, etc. Within the scope of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider renders the services for hosting and displaying the website for us.

For the purpose of shortening the loading time of our online presence, we also use a Content Delivery Network ("CDN"), in which the website is delivered via the web server of a CDN provider who works for us in the context of order processing. Access data is also collected accordingly on the provider's web servers.

All access data is stored for a period of seven days. This data is evaluated exclusively to ensure trouble-free operation of the website, error analysis and to improve our offerings. The use of a CDN provider, as well as the procedure described here, serves to safeguard our overriding legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offering in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) Global Data Protection Rights (GDPR).
