4) Cookies
To make your visit to our website more attractive and enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies—small text files stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser (“session cookies”), while others remain on your device for a longer period and allow the storage of page settings (“persistent cookies”). You can find the exact storage duration of these cookies in your web browser’s cookie settings.

- Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR if you have given your consent,

5) Contacting Us
When you contact us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The specific data collected via a contact form is indicated on the form itself. This data is used exclusively to respond to your inquiry and for the technical administration involved.
The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request, according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your contact is intended to conclude a contract, an additional legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted once your inquiry has been fully resolved, provided that no legal retention requirements prevent deletion.
6) Online Marketing
We participate in the affiliate program of the following provider:
Amazon EU S.a.r.l., 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg
In this context, we have placed links on our website that lead to offers on websites of the provider or third parties (“partner sites”).
To measure the success of an affiliate link, evaluate orders generated via such a link, and process commission payments accordingly, the provider uses cookies and/or similar technologies, which are generally set on the partner sites and for which we are not responsible under data protection law. As part of this process, the provider regularly processes the IP address and, if applicable, other device information.
All of the aforementioned processing activities, in particular reading or storing information on your device, only take place if you have given your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by using the cookie consent management options on the partner sites.

Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE AFFECTED DATA. HOWEVER, FURTHER PROCESSING REMAINS PERMISSIBLE IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO SUCH PROCESSING. IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.
8) Duration of Personal Data Storage
The duration of personal data storage depends on the respective legal basis, processing purpose, and—if applicable—statutory retention periods (e.g., commercial and tax retention periods).
If processing is based on explicit consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, the data is stored until consent is withdrawn.
If statutory retention periods apply to data processed for contractual or quasi-contractual obligations based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, the data will be routinely deleted upon expiration of the retention periods unless necessary for contract fulfillment or initiation or if there is a legitimate interest in continued storage.
For data processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, data is stored until you exercise your right to object under Art. 21(1) GDPR unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms or if processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
For data processing related to direct marketing under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, data is stored until you exercise your right to object under Art. 21(2) GDPR.
Unless otherwise specified in this policy for specific data processing scenarios, stored personal data will generally be deleted when no longer needed for the original purpose of collection or processing.
