Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services). Cookies have different functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you want (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of his services.

If you send me inquiries via the contact form, your data from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provided there, will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. I do not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on my legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to me (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), provided this was queried; the consent can be revoked at any time. The data you enter in the contact form will remain stored until you ask me to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been processed).
