Purpose and legal basis of the cookies we use
We use cookies for “absolutely necessary” purposes, “analytics” and “marketing”. The following table shows in more detail these purposes and the legal basis according to the GDPR of the European Union for processing by the respective cookie types.
Mandatory Cookies
Purpose
These are cookies that are absolutely necessary to support the performance of the website and provide you with the requested service. Their specific purpose may include storing language settings or the products a user wants to buy when he or she enters the checkout.
Legal basis
The legal basis for the placement of these cookies on your device and the use of data provided by them is Section 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG. These cookies are absolutely necessary to support the performance of the website and to provide the service you have requested.
Analysis Cookies
Purpose
Analytics cookies are used by website owners and third parties to collect data about how a user has behaved on a website. This includes the pages viewed, links clicked, and search queries. This allows data (sometimes along with data about other websites the user has visited and their demographics (e.g. location, age, etc.)) to be analyzed and then used to optimize the quality of the website. For example, if the analysis shows that 80% of clicked links are at the top of the page, the most important links are placed there.
Legal basis
The legal basis for the placement of analytics cookies on your device and the use of data collected by them is the consent § 25 para 1 TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR. This consent can be revoked at any time by clicking on the link to your cookie settings on each of our web pages. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent given prior to the revocation of consent.
Marketing Cookies
Purpose
Marketing cookies are used by website owners and third parties to collect data about how a user has behaved on a website. This includes the pages viewed, links clicked, and search queries. This allows data (sometimes along with data about other websites a user has visited and their demographics (e.g. location, age, etc.)) to be analyzed and used to create a user profile. This can be used to determine the ads in which the user might be most interested. Marketing cookies can also be used to track a user’s interest in ads that were ultimately displayed to them. This is to avoid unwanted repeated advertising and to track the frequency with which the user interacts with the ad (e.g., through a click or an actual sale).
Legal basis
The legal basis for the placement of marketing cookies on your device and the use of data collected by them is the consent § 25 (1) TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR. This consent can be revoked at any time by clicking on the link to your cookie settings on each of our web pages. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent given prior to the revocation of consent.
Your choice of cookies
We use a Consent Management Platform (CMP) to provide users with information from our website about the cookies we use and to allow users to choose whether to consent to the use of cookies that require consent. This website uses Borlabs Cookie, which sets a technically necessary cookie (borlabs-cookie) to store your cookie consents. Borlabs cookie does not process any personal data. The borlabs-cookie cookie stores your consents that you gave when you entered the website. If you wish to revoke these consents, simply delete the cookie in your browser. When you re-enter/reload the website, you will be asked again for your cookie consent.
The CMP appears as a banner the first time you visit our website and periodically thereafter when we want to review your settings with you. You can also update your settings (including revoking for the future any consent you have previously given) at any time by clicking on the link to your cookie settings on any of our web pages.
You are informed by CMP that absolutely necessary cookies are always placed and/or used on your device when you visit our websites. This is because they are absolutely necessary for the use of the website. Analytics and marketing cookies, on the other hand, will only be placed and/or used on your device if you have consented to this through CMP.
Through the cookie settings of your Internet browser, you should also be able to delete stored cookies at any time, as well as disable or restrict the future transfer of cookies . Please note, however, that you may no longer be able to use all the functions of the website if you disable cookies. In the menu of most browsers you will find setting options for the use of cookies.
