After the termination of the order process or after receipt of payment, we delete the IP address if it is no longer required for security purposes. We also store IP addresses if we have a concrete suspicion of a crime related to the use of our website. Furthermore, we store the date of your last visit as part of your account (e.g., during registration, login, clicking links, etc.).

We use so-called session cookies to optimize our website. A session cookie is a small text file that is sent by the respective servers when you visit a website and stored temporarily on your hard drive. This file as such contains a so-called session ID, which allows various requests from your browser to be assigned to the same session. This enables your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. These cookies are deleted after you close your browser. They are used, for example, so that you can use the shopping cart function across multiple pages.
We also use a small number of persistent cookies (also small text files that are stored on your end device) that remain on your end device and allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit. These cookies are stored on your hard drive and delete themselves after a specified period. Their lifespan ranges from 1 month to 10 years. This enables us to present our offer to you in a more user-friendly, effective, and secure manner and, for example, to display information on the site tailored to your interests. Our legitimate interest in using cookies under Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 f) GDPR lies in making our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure.
