Cookie Policy

In the form of questions and answers, this information page will help you understand what cookies are, why this website uses them and what options you have to prevent or allow their storage.

When you visit, the website you are currently on stores cookies on your computer, television set or mobile device via your web browser.

What are cookies and how do they work?

A cookie can be defined as a small text file that a website, via the web browser, stores in a special folder belonging to the browser on the hard disk of a computer or television set, or in the internal memory of a mobile device. On your next visit, the browser loads these files again and sends them to the website, thus enabling it to recognise your device and to identify certain information, set preferences and activities carried out by the user during previous browsing of the website.

Why do we use cookies?

We constantly strive to improve our services, and these files help us achieve this goal, in particular by ensuring the proper functioning of our website and comfortable browsing.

What types of cookies do we use?

By expiry period

• temporary cookies (session cookies), which on this website may be used to support certain functions in connection with an individual operation of the user and which are deleted automatically when the web browser window is closed.
• persistent cookies (permanent cookies), which remain stored on the device until they reach the set expiry date and time, usually one year, or until the user deletes them manually in the web browser settings.

By purpose of use

• functional and technical cookies, which primarily ensure the correct functioning of the website, the storage of set preferences or the recording of data on the display of error messages. Your consent is not required for the use of these cookies on the grounds of so-called legitimate interest.

Which cookies do we not use?

The operation of this website does not involve the outdated technology of so-called flash cookies, which circumvent the privacy settings of the web browser by being able to restore originally rejected or deleted cookies. Nor do we use the technology of creating predictive profiles (profiling users on the basis of information contained in cookies), or the combining of explicit data (for example from a completed form on the website) with information obtained through the use of cookies. We do not collect any data through cookies that is capable of identifying a user of the website.

Does this website also use third-party cookies?

In most cases we mainly use our own cookies (so-called first-party cookies labelled PrestaShop-…); however, this website also contains some innovative solutions in the form of practical tools, add-ons or plug-ins, which logically required cooperation with third parties whose solutions likewise depend on the use of cookies to function properly. The following third-party tools are currently implemented on the website:

Can the storage of cookies be prevented?

Yes, every user of the website can prevent cookies from being stored on their end device. In general, by using this website you also agree to the use of cookies, unless you have disabled this option in your browser. This is why other websites do not ask you for prior consent before storing cookies either, since the relevant browser settings are also regarded as an expression of consent or refusal.

In your browser, however, you can make additional changes to the settings: delete existing cookies, allow or block all cookies, set preferences for specific websites, or have cookies deleted automatically (as part of clearing your browsing history) when the browser is closed. Please note, however, that deleting or restricting cookies may in some cases affect the full functionality of this website.
