Cookies and consent

We use cookies and similar technologies. Technically necessary Cookies (e.g. shopping basket, configurator, session, security) and payment services Klarna (Klarna Bank AB, Stockholm) and PayPal (PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., Luxembourg) are required for the operation of the shop and are loaded without consent (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) of the GDPR, § 25(2) of the TDDDG).

We will load all the remaining services only after you have given your express consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, Section 25(1) of the TDDDG). No connection is established with the providers’ servers beforehand. We distinguish between the following categories:

• Essential – technically necessary; no consent required.
• Statistics & Marketing – Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads (in each case, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). We use these to measure website usage and the success of our advertising campaigns. In doing so, advertising and remarketing cookies may also be set and data may be transferred to the USA.
• External media – embedded third-party content. We currently use the Trusted Shops Trustbadge and Review Widget one (Trusted Shops SE, Subbelrather Str. 15c, 50823 Cologne). It displays our customer reviews and is only loaded once you have given your consent; your IP address is transmitted to Trusted Shops in the process.

We also report your decision to Google via Google Consent Mode v2. Without consent, all signals there are set to ‘denied’.

We record your consent for evidence purposes (Art. 7(1) GDPR). We store your IP address exclusively as a salted hash value, not in plain text. This consent is valid for 12 months; after that, we will ask for it again. If the list of services used changes, we will also seek your consent again.

You can withdraw or amend your consent at any time with future effect – by clicking the button “Cookie settings” at the bottom of each page. Further information can be found in the Google’s Privacy Policy and via the Google Analytics Opt-out.
