9. Cookies
Our website uses cookies and related technologies such as pixel tags (collectively, "cookies"). Cookies are text files that are stored on the user's hard drive when the user visits a website.
9.1 Purpose
The cookies we use are first used to provide you with a pleasant visit to our website. They allow us to provide information for a certain period of time and to identify the user's computer. In particular, they thus ensure certain functions of our website, for example, the shopping cart function. We also use cookies to optimize our advertising. Cookies allow us to show you advertising that may be particularly relevant to you based on your user behavior.
9.2 Types of cookies used
Most of our cookies are automatically deleted from your computer or mobile device at the end of the browser session (so-called session cookies). Session cookies are used, for example, to store your country and language preferences and your shopping cart for the duration of a single Internet session.
In addition, we also use temporary or permanent cookies. These remain stored on your computer even after you end the browser session. The next time you visit one of our Internet pages, the system automatically recognizes which entries and settings you prefer. Depending on the type of cookie, these temporary or permanent cookies remain stored on your computer or mobile device for between one month and ten years and are automatically deactivated after the programmed time has elapsed. They serve to make our Internet pages more user-friendly, effective and secure. Thanks to these cookies, you will, for example, receive information on the site specifically tailored to your interests.
9.3 Data stored in cookies
Our cookies do not store any personal data and can therefore not be assigned to any person. Cookies are assigned an identification number.
9.4 How can you prevent cookies from being stored?
In your browser settings, you can disable the storage of cookies or request permission whenever a cookie is to be stored.




10. Log files
Whenever you access our website, your browser transmits certain usage data to us for technical reasons, which we store in log files, the so-called log files. The following usage data is transmitted and stored: Date and time of access to our Internet site; name of the Internet site accessed; IP address of your device; address of the website from which you accessed our website; amount of data transferred; and name and version of your browser.
With the help of the evaluation of the log files, we can further improve our Internet services and make them more user-friendly. For example, we can determine at what time the use of our Internet offers is particularly popular and adjust the data volumes accordingly to provide you with the best possible use.




11. Web analysis tools
We use so-called web analysis tools to continuously improve our Internet services. They provide us with statistics and diagrams about the use of our website. The usage data is transferred to a server designated for this purpose. Depending on the provider, this server may be located abroad. For the most commonly used web analysis tool, Google Analytics, the data is only transmitted with anonymized IP addresses so that individual devices cannot be identified. Google observes the data protection provisions of the "Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield" agreement and has registered with the U.S. Department of Commerce for the "Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield" (information on the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield can be found at https://www.privacyshield.gov/Swiss-US-Privacy-Shield-FAQs). The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google. A transfer of this data by Google to third parties takes place only on the basis of legal requirements or in the context of order data processing.
You can prevent the collection of your data by Google by installing the browser plugin available at the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). For 
more information on Google Analytics and data protection, please visit http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html




12. Social Plugins
Our website uses social plugins from third-party providers, e.g. from Facebook, Twitter or Google+. The plugins are marked with the logo of the provider and can be, for example, "Like" buttons or a Twitter button or Google+ button.
When you call up a website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the computers of the provider. The offering site transmits the content of the plugin directly to your browser, and the browser integrates it into the display of our website. By integrating the plugins, the provider receives the information that you have accessed our website. If you are logged in to the provider at the same time, the provider can assign the visit to your profile. If you interact with the plugins - for example, by clicking the "Like" button or posting a comment - the corresponding information is transmitted from your browser directly to the provider and stored there.




If you want to prevent a provider from collecting data about you via our website, you must log out of the corresponding provider before visiting our website. Even when logged out, the providers collect data anonymously via the social plugins and set you a cookie. This data can be assigned to your profile if you log in to the provider at a later time.
If a login is offered via a social login service - e.g. Facebook Connect - data is exchanged between the provider and our website. In the case of Facebook Connect, this may be data from your public Facebook profile, for example. By using such login services, you consent to the transfer of data.
Please refer to the privacy notices of the providers for the purpose and scope of the collection and processing of your data by a provider, as well as your rights and choices in this regard to protect your privacy.
- Facebook Ireland Ltd. or Facebook Inc.: http://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php
- Google Inc.: http://www.google.de/intl/de/privacy/plusone/
- Twitter Inc.: http://twitter.com/privacy

If you want to prevent the providers from collecting data about you via these cookies, you can select the "Block third-party cookies" function in your browser settings. Then the browser will not send any data to their servers for embedded content from other providers. This leads at most to the fact that other functions of our Internet site are no longer available.




13. Embedded videos
When playing embedded videos on the website, the data is processed that is also collected when displaying the website (category group AccessD). Furthermore, Google uses cookies to provide the website.
