We collect information about you when you use this website.

- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system
- Referrer URL (i.e. the previously visited page)

We use this log data without allocation to your person or other profiling for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operating, security and optimisation of our website, but also for anonymous recording of the number of visitors to our website (traffic) and for the scope and type of use of our website and services, as well as for billing purposes to measure the number of clicks received from cooperation partners.

In the event that we outsource certain parts of the data processing ("order processing"), we contractually oblige order processors to use personal data only in accordance with the requirements of the data protection laws and to guarantee the protection of the rights of the person concerned. Data will not be transferred to entities or persons outside the EU apart from the case referred to in this Statement in paragraph 4.
