What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of text sent by your web browser from a website you visit. A cookie file is stored in your web browser and allows the website or a third-party service provider to recognise you and make your next visit easier and the website more useful to you. Cookies are essentially a user identification card for a website’s server.

Web beacons are small graphic files linked to our servers that allow us to track your use of our website and related features. Cookies and web beacons allow us to serve you better and more efficiently and to personalise your experience on our website.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies.

How we use cookies

When you use and access our website, we may place a number of cookie files in your web browser. Our website uses or may use cookies and/or web beacons to help us determine and identify returning visitors, the type of content and subpages a user of our website refers to, the amount of time each user spends in a particular area of our website, and the specific functionality users choose to use. Where cookie data constitutes personal data, we process this data on the basis of your consent.

We use both session and persistent cookies on our website, and we use different types of cookies to operate our website:

Essential cookies

Necessary for the operation of the website(s). We may use essential cookies to authenticate users, prevent fraudulent use of user accounts or provide website functionality.

Advertising Cookies

Advertising Cookies are used to deliver customised advertising to the user. This can be very convenient, but also very irritating.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics also uses cookies to enable our website to analyse how users use our website across multiple devices. The information generated by the cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to and stored by Google, including transmission to the United States. The following data is processed through the use of Google Analytics:

3 bytes of the IP address of the called system of the website visitor (anonymised IP address),
the website called up,
the website from which the user reached the accessed page of my website (referrer),
the subpages accessed from the website,
the time spent on the website
the frequency with which the website is accessed.

Google states that it will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. The use of this service is based on your consent.

Shopify Analytics

We use Shopify Analytics by Shopify. Shopify Analytics uses cookies, which are text files placed on your device, to help the website analyse how users use our website. The information generated by these cookies, such as the time, place, and frequency of your website visit, including your IP address, is transmitted to Shopify and stored there. In this case, your IP address will already be shortened by Shopify and thus anonymised.

Shopify will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Shopify may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Shopify's behalf.

Google Ads

We use Google Ads, an online advertising service provided by Google LLC. Google Ads enables us to show advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be shown on the basis of user data available to Google (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting). With the help of Google Ads, we can evaluate this data quantitatively, for example, which search terms have led to the display of our advertisements and how many ads have resulted in corresponding clicks. The use of this service is based on your consent.

Google Ads Remarketing

We also use the remarketing functions Google Ads. Google Ads Remarketing allows us to assign people who interact with our advertisements and website to specific target groups and to display interest-based advertising to them within the Google advertising network.

Further, the advertising target groups created by us using Google Ads Remarketing can be linked to Google's cross-device functions. This means that interest-based, personalised advertising (that is advertising that has been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behaviour) can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g. tablet or PC). The use of this service is based on your consent.

Google Conversion Tracking

We also use Google Conversion Tracking. With the help of Google conversion tracking, we and Google can recognize whether the user has performed certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website were clicked how often and which products were viewed or purchased particularly frequently. This information is used to create conversion statistics. We also learn the total number of users who clicked on our ads and what actions they took. We do not receive any information with which we can personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification. The use of this service is based on your consent.

Pixel Cookies and Tags

We use so-called Pixel Cookies and Tags (“Pixel Cookies”). A Pixel Cookie is an advertising tool and typically consists of a JavaScript code snippet that allows us to understand and track visitors' activity on our website. For this purpose, Pixel Cookies collect and process information about visitors of our website and the device used (so-called event data).

Event data collected through Pixel Cookies is used for targeting our advertisements and improving ad delivery and personalised advertising. For this purpose, the event data collected on our website by means of Pixel Cookies is transmitted to the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie and in part, also stored on your device. However, this only happens with your consent, and we and the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie are considered joint controllers. Nonetheless, for the subsequent processing of the transmitted Event Data, the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie is the sole controller.
