Apple Pay uses security features integrated into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. To authorise a payment, you must enter a code previously set by you and verify it using your device's "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function.
For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with information about your order, will be transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data again with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay for payment processing. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment has been made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the success of the payment.
If personal data is processed during the described transmissions, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
Apple retains anonymised transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymisation completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymised data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.
If you use Apple Pay on iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you made via Safari on Mac, the Mac and the authorisation device communicate over an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify you. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and disable "Allow Payments on Mac".

11) Use of Social Media: Social Plugins

Facebook Plugins with 2-Click Solution

Our website uses so-called social plugins ("plugins") of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").

To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are initially deactivated on the page by means of a so-called "2-click" solution. Deactivated plugins are greyed out. This integration ensures that when a page of our website containing such plugins is accessed, no connection is yet established with Facebook's servers. Only when you activate the plugins and thus give your consent to the data transfer in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook's servers. The content of the respective plugin is transmitted directly to your browser and integrated into the page. The plugin then transmits data (including your IP address) to Facebook. We have no influence on the scope of the data collected by Facebook with the help of the plugins. To our knowledge, Facebook receives information about which of our websites you have currently and previously visited. By integrating the plugins, Facebook also receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in. The collected information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA and stored there. If you interact with the plugins, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your contacts there.

You can revoke your consent at any time by deactivating the activated plugin again by clicking on it. However, the revocation does not affect the data already transferred to Facebook.

For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your related rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php

12) Use of Social Media: Videos

Use of YouTube videos

This website uses the YouTube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider "YouTube", which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

This uses the extended data protection mode, which, according to the provider, only initiates the storage of user information when the video(s) are played. When playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider "YouTube" uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. According to YouTube's information, these are used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent abusive practices. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish for your data to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation is carried out, in particular, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interests in displaying personalized advertising, market research, and/or designing its website to meet needs. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. When using YouTube, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
Regardless of the playback of embedded videos, a connection to the Google network is established each time this website is accessed, which may trigger further data processing operations beyond our control.

Further information on data protection at "YouTube" can be found in the YouTube Terms of Service at https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms as well as in Google's Privacy Policy at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data described above in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

13) Online Marketing

13.1 Facebook Pixel for creating Custom Audiences (with Cookie Consent Tool)
Within our online offering, the "Facebook Pixel" of the social network Facebook, operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"), is used.
If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us and displayed on Facebook, an addition is made to the URL of our linked page by the Facebook Pixel. If our page allows sharing of data with Facebook via the Pixel, this URL parameter is written into the user's browser via a cookie that our linked page itself sets. This cookie is then read by the Facebook Pixel and enables the data to be forwarded to Facebook.
With the help of the Facebook Pixel, Facebook can, on the one hand, determine the visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Facebook Ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook Pixel to display Facebook Ads placed by us only to Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products, which are determined based on the visited websites) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interest of users and do not appear annoying. We can also evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion").
The collected data is anonymous to us, so it does not allow us to draw conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so a connection to the respective user profile is possible, and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook's Data Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data may enable Facebook and its partners to display advertisements on and outside of Facebook.
The data processing associated with the use of the Facebook Pixel only takes place with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, uncheck the box next to the "Facebook Pixel" setting in the "Cookie Consent Tool" integrated on the website.

13.2 Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense, a web advertising service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). Google AdSense uses so-called cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. Google AdSense also uses so-called "web beacons" (small invisible graphics) to collect information, which allows simple actions such as visitor traffic on the website to be recorded, collected and evaluated.

The information generated by the cookie and/or web beacon (including your IP address) about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there. This may also involve a transmission to servers of Google LLC in the USA.

Google uses the information obtained in this way to evaluate your usage behavior with regard to the AdSense ads. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google AdSense will not be merged with other Google data.

13.3 Google Ads Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, within the scope of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use the Google Ads offer to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the advertising campaign data. Our aim is to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to achieve a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.
The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google Ads. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users.
Within the scope of using Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
Details on the processing initiated by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and how Google handles data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

13.4 Google Marketing Platform

This website uses the online marketing tool Google Marketing Platform operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("GMP").

GMP uses cookies to display ads relevant to users, to improve reports on campaign performance, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Via a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. The processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

In addition, GMP can record so-called conversions using cookie IDs, which relate to ad requests. This is the case, for example, if a user sees a GMP ad and later visits the advertiser's website using the same browser and buys something via this website. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain any personal information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you to the best of our knowledge as follows: By integrating GMP, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will obtain and store your IP address. Within the scope of using GMP, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

If you wish to object to participation in this tracking procedure, you can deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com (see https://www.google.de/settings/ads ), although this setting will be deleted if you deactivate your cookies. Alternatively, you can inform yourself about the setting of cookies at the Digital Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info and make your desired settings. Finally, you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally. If cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be limited.

Further information on the data protection provisions of GMP by Google can be found at the following internet address: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

Pinterest Retargeting Pixel
This website integrates a pixel (Pinterest Tag) from Pinterest Europe Ltd. (Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Pinterest")). This pixel allows information about website visitors' browsing behavior to be collected, stored, and analyzed in pseudonymized form. If personal data is processed in this context, it is done on the basis of our legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The information can be assigned to the user's person with the help of further information that Pinterest has stored about the user, for example, due to owning an account on the social network "Pinterest." Pinterest analyzes browsing behavior using an algorithm and can then display targeted product recommendations as personalized ad banners on the user's Pinterest account. Pinterest can also combine the information collected via the pixel with other information that Pinterest has collected via other websites and/or in connection with the use of the social network "Pinterest," and thus create pseudonymized usage profiles. In no case can the collected information be used to personally identify visitors to this website.
Where legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data as described above, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your given consent at any time with future effect by deactivating pixel tracking in the "Cookie Consent Tool" embedded on this website.
Data collected via the pixel may be transferred to servers of Pinterest Inc. in the USA. Further information on data protection at Pinterest Europe Limited can be found here: https://policy.pinterest.com/de/privacy-policy

Pinterest Tag Conversion Tracking
This website uses the "Pinterest Tag" conversion tracking technology from Pinterest Europe Ltd., Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Pinterest").
If you have arrived at our website from a Pinterest Pin, we will set a cookie on your computer that interacts with a "Tag" also implemented in the form of a JavaScript code from Pinterest. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies expire after 180 days and are not used for personal identification.
If the user is redirected to pages of this website from a Pinterest Pin and the cookie has not yet expired, the tag records certain user actions predefined by us and can track them (e.g., completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, views of product pages). When such an action is performed, your browser sends an HTTP request from the cookie via the Pinterest Tag to Pinterest's server, transmitting certain information about the action (including the type of action, time, browser type of the end device).
Through this transmission, Pinterest can create statistics about user behavior on our website after redirection from a Pinterest Pin, which we use to optimize our offering.
If personal user data is processed in this context, it is done in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical evaluation of the success of product ads on Pinterest and the purchasing behavior of users, and thus serves to optimize our online offering.
However, we do not receive any information that allows users to be personally identified.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object by deactivating the Pinterest Tag Conversion Tracking cookie via your internet browser in the user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Alternatively, you can use the opt-out page for consumers in the EU http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/
to check whether advertising cookies from Microsoft are set in your browser and deactivate them.
Further information on Pinterest's privacy policy can be found at the following internet address: https://policy.pinterest.com/de/privacy-policy

You can withdraw your given consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right of withdrawal, please follow the objection option described above.

TikTok Pixel
This website uses the "TikTok Pixel," a tracking technology from the social network "TikTok" by TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland ("TikTok").
With the help of cookies (small text files stored on the device used), information about browsing behavior on our website is collected in pseudonymized form, transmitted to TikTok, stored there, and evaluated to enable the display of interest-based and personalized product recommendations on TikTok. The information collected and pseudonymously processed generally includes the device ID, device type, timestamp, operating system used, and IP address. This information can be assigned to the user's person with the help of further information that TikTok has stored about the user, for example, due to owning an account on the social network "TikTok." TikTok can also combine the information collected via the pixel with other information that TikTok has collected via other websites and/or in connection with the use of the social network "TikTok," and thus create pseudonymized usage profiles. In no case can the collected information be used to personally identify visitors to this website.
The TikTok Pixel also allows us to understand the effectiveness of advertisements on TikTok. If the user is redirected to pages of this website from a TikTok ad and the cookies have not yet expired, the pixel records certain user actions predefined by us and can track them (e.g., completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, views of product pages). When such an action is performed, your browser sends an HTTP request from the cookie via the TikTok Pixel to TikTok's server, transmitting certain information about the action. Through this transmission, TikTok can create statistics about user behavior on our website after redirection from a TikTok ad, which we use to optimize our offering.
All data processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without this consent, the TikTok Pixel will not be used during your visit to the site.
You can withdraw your given consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right of withdrawal, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website. We have concluded a data processing agreement with TikTok for the use of the TikTok Pixel, obliging TikTok to protect the data of our site visitors and not to pass them on to third parties. TikTok generally transfers collected information outside the European Economic Area and relies on so-called Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection.

This website uses the Shopify Chat live chat system, a service of Shopify Inc., 150 Elgin St, Ottawa, ON K2P 1L4, Canada ("Shopify"), for customer support purposes. To answer live support inquiries, Shopify collects and stores anonymized user data. Usage profiles can be created from this anonymized data under a pseudonym. Cookies may be used for this purpose.

If the information collected in this way contains personal references, the processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in effective customer support and the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization purposes.

To prevent the storage of Shopify cookies, you can set your internet browser so that no more cookies can be stored on your computer in the future or already stored cookies are deleted. However, deactivating all cookies may mean that some functions on our websites can no longer be performed. You can object to the collection and storage of data for the purpose of creating a pseudonymized usage profile at any time with future effect by sending us your objection informally by e-mail to the e-mail address specified in the imprint.
In the case of data transfers to Shopify Inc. in Canada, an adequate level of data protection is ensured by the European Commission's adequacy decision.

This website uses a cookie consent tool with technology from Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich (hereinafter "Usercentrics") to obtain effective user consents for cookies and cookie-based applications requiring consent.

By integrating a corresponding JavaScript code, a banner is displayed to users when they visit the site, in which consents for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by checking a box. The tool blocks the setting of all cookies requiring consent until the respective user grants corresponding consents by checking a box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's respective device if consent has been given.

To enable the cookie consent tool to uniquely assign page views to individual users and to individually record, log, and store the user's consent settings for a session duration, certain user information (including the IP address) is collected when our website is accessed via the cookie consent tool, transmitted to Usercentrics' servers, and stored there.

This data processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

Finally, the cookies serve to register irregular access by site administrators from new devices or new locations and to notify other administrators about this.
These cookies are only set if a user has login rights. For site visitors without login authorization, Wordfence does not set cookies.
If personal data is processed via the cookies, the processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in preventing illegitimate access to page administration and fending off unauthorized administrator access.
