Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e., after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit (persistent cookies).

Protection of privacy on end devices

When you use our online services, we use technologies that are strictly necessary to provide the telemedia service you have expressly requested. Storing information on your device or accessing information already stored on your device does not require your consent.

For functions that are not absolutely necessary, the storage of information on your device or access to information already stored on your device requires your consent. Please note that if you do not grant your consent, parts of the website may not be fully usable. Your consent, if granted, will remain in effect until you adjust or reset the relevant settings on your device.

Possible downstream data processing through cookies and other technologies. We use technologies that are absolutely necessary for the use of certain functions of our website (e.g., shopping cart function). These technologies collect and process IP addresses, the time of visits, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website (e.g., information about the contents of your shopping cart). Within the framework of a balancing of interests, this serves the overriding legitimate interest in an optimized presentation of our offering in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

We also use technologies to fulfill the legal obligations to which we are subject (e.g., to be able to prove consent to the processing of your personal data), as well as for web analytics and online marketing. Further information on this, including the respective legal basis for data processing, can be found in the following sections of this privacy policy.

You can find the cookie settings for your browser under the following links: Microsoft Edge™ / Safari™ / Chrome™ / Firefox™ / Opera™

6.2 Use of the Wix Consent Manager tool to manage consents

We use the Wix Consent Manager Tool on our website to inform you about the cookies and other technologies we use on our website, as well as to obtain, manage and document your consent to the processing of your personal data by these technologies, if required. This is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR to fulfil our legal obligation under Art. 7 (1) GDPR to be able to prove your consent to the processing of your personal data, to which we are subject. The Wix Consent Manager Tool is an offer from Wix.com Ltd., 40 Namal Tel Aviv St., Tel Aviv 6350671, Israel (“Wix”).

6.3 Information on third country transfers (data transfer to third countries)

We use technologies from service providers on our website whose headquarters and/or server locations may be located in third countries outside the EU or EEA. If there is no adequacy decision from the EU Commission for this country, an adequate level of data protection must be ensured by means of other suitable guarantees. Suitable guarantees in the form of contractually agreed standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or binding internal data protection rules (Binding Corporate Rules) are generally possible, but require prior review by the contracting parties to determine whether an adequate level of protection can be guaranteed. According to the case law of the European Court of Justice, it may be necessary to take additional protective measures for this purpose. We have generally agreed the standard data protection clauses issued by the EU Commission with the technology providers we use who process personal data in a third country. Where possible, we also agree on additional guarantees to ensure that adequate data protection is guaranteed in third countries without an adequacy decision. Notwithstanding this, it may happen that, despite all contractual and technical measures, the level of data protection in the third country does not correspond to that of the EU. In these cases, we will ask you, if necessary, as part of the cookie consent, for your consent in accordance with Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR to the transfer of your personal data to a third country. In particular, there is a risk that local authorities in the third country may not be granted sufficiently restricted access rights to your personal data from a European data protection perspective, that we as the data exporter or you as the data subject may not be aware of this, and/or that you may not have adequate legal remedies available to prevent this and/or take action against such access.

In particular, the following countries are currently among the third countries without an adequacy decision from the EU Commission (example list):

• China
• Russia
• Taiwan

You can find out to which third countries we transfer data in the data protection information for the tool and/or service we use for consent management/Consent Manager Platform (CMP).
