4. Data collection on our website
Cookies
Our website uses certain "cookies". Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. The purpose of these cookies is to make the services we offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored by your browser and saved on your computer. Most of the cookies we use are session cookies. These are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Other cookies continue to be stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit. You can set your browser to inform you when cookies are created and to only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, to accept cookies in certain cases or to generally disallow cookies or automatically delete them when you close your browser. Deactivating cookies may restrict the functionality of this website. Cookies required for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing specific functions required by you (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies in order to provide its services without faults and in optimised form from a technical perspective. In the event that other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing browsing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
Server log files
The site provider collects and stores information automatically in server log files, which your browser sends to us automatically. These contain the following information:
• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the computer accessing the site
• Time of the server request
• IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for this data processing is Article 6(1f) GDPR, which permits data processing in order to fulfil a contract or for measures prior to entering into a contract.
Contact form
If you send us an enquiry using the contact form, we store your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data you enter on it, in order to process the enquiry and deal with any follow-up questions. We will not disclose these details without your consent. The data you enter in the contact form is therefore processed solely on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1a) GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time by sending us an informal e-mail. The lawfulness of data processing operations that have taken place before you withdraw your consent will remain unaffected by this. We will retain the data you enter in the contact form until you request its erasure, withdraw your consent to its storage or the purpose for which it was stored no longer exists (e.g. if your enquiry has been processed and completed). Mandatory statutory provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.

You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. We use YouTube in the interests of displaying our online services in an appealing way.
