Some are temporary and deleted once your browser is closed (session cookies), while others remain on your device (persistent cookies). Persistent cookies help us recognize your browser on subsequent visits and are automatically deleted after a specified period.

Contacting Us

When you contact us (for example, via our contact form or email), we collect personal data only to the extent necessary to respond to your inquiry. This processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to inquiries) or Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (contractual relationship). Once your inquiry is resolved and no further legal obligation to retain data exists, your information will be deleted.

Customer Accounts and Contract Execution

When you open a customer account or place an order, we collect personal data in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of contract execution. The specific data collected depends on the relevant input forms.

You may request deletion of your customer account at any time by contacting us. Once the contract has been completed or your account deleted, data will be retained only as required by law (e.g., for tax or accounting purposes) and deleted once these periods expire.

Use of Data for Direct Advertising
