HOW DO WE USE COOKIES?

We use "cookies" on our web pages, which are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit one of our web pages. When you visit the website in question again, we can recognize you even without knowing who you are. We also intend to inform you fully below about our use of cookies.

WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?

Cookies are used to ensure the functionality of our web pages, such as the shopping cart function, for example.

For example, we use session cookies to save your country or language selections and your shopping cart when you continue your Internet session on multiple pages. In addition, we also use cookies that remain stored on your computer or mobile device beyond the end of the browsing session. Each time you visit one of our web pages again, your preferred data and settings will be recognized automatically. These cookies, which remain stored in your computer or mobile device for between one month and ten years, are automatically deactivated at the end of the programmed time. They serve to make the use of our web pages more user-friendly, efficient and safe.
