APPENDIX 1 TO ARTICLE 10
NOTICE ON PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING THROUGH COOKIES

  • Article 1. (1) Marketing activities related to user behavior analysis and advertising are carried out only with explicit electronic consent given via the cookie banner on the WEBSITE's homepage.
  • (2) These activities are performed using COOKIES operated by the COMPANY or third-party partners. Cookies do not identify individuals (e.g. name, surname, phone number, address, etc.) but collect information regarding user activity through the relevant browser or advertising banners, which includes the following data:
  • 1. Website activity events (pages viewed, products viewed, site searches); 2. Device information (device type, operating system and version); 3. Approximate location derived from IP address.
  • (3) The COMPANY uses two types of COOKIES: necessary and functional. Access to the WEBSITE requires consent to at least the necessary COOKIES.
  • Article 2. The following necessary COOKIES ensure the proper functioning of the website:
  • --
  • Article 3. (1) Functional COOKIES store user preferences and analyze user behavior on the site. These COOKIES save time and effort when using the WEBSITE and are stored temporarily on the user's device. Functional COOKIES are also used by the COMPANY to analyze USER behavior on the WEBSITE, allowing personalization of content and quick identification and resolution of various issues.
  • (2) Functional COOKIES used by the COMPANY and its third-party partners include:
  • --
  • Article 4. The COOKIES referred to in Article 3 are used through the websites of the following COMPANY partners:
  • 1. Google Analytics – a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, which enables analysis of website usage. Information is transmitted and stored by Google LLC on servers located in the USA. Data reaching Google Analytics is pseudonymized. Under its contractual relationship with Google LLC, the COMPANY engages Google to use this information to evaluate the use of the WEBSITE. Google LLC will not associate the IP address sent by the user's browser via Google Analytics with other data stored by Google LLC. Google LLC processes data in compliance with applicable EU data protection legislation and the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement.
  • 2. Google AdWords – a remarketing and behavioral targeting service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This service links the WEBSITE's advertising activity with the AdWords advertising network. Information is transmitted and stored by Google LLC on servers located in the USA. Google LLC processes data in compliance with applicable EU data protection legislation and the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement.
  • 3. Facebook and Instagram – this application uses Social Plugins ("Plugins") of the social network facebook.com and instagram.com, maintained by Facebook Inc., Menlo Park, California, USA ("Facebook"). Plugins can be identified by the Facebook logos (a white "f" on a blue background or a "thumbs up" sign) or by the label "Facebook Social Plugin".
  • When a user visits a web page, the browser immediately establishes a direct connection with Facebook's servers. The Plugin content is transmitted directly from Facebook to the user's browser, which connects it to the web page.
  • Through these Plugins, Facebook receives information that the WEBSITE has been visited. If the user is logged into their Facebook account, Facebook may associate the visit with their profile. If the user interacts with the Plugins (e.g. presses the "Like" button or writes a comment), the information is immediately transmitted from the browser to Facebook and stored there. Even if the user is not registered on Facebook, Facebook may still obtain and store their IP address.
  • These Facebook Plugins may be embedded by website operators on their own web pages or platforms. With one click on these Plugins, registered Facebook users can automatically post a message on their Facebook profile indicating they like the content from the site operator's links. The Facebook Plugin communicates continuously with Facebook and sends data even when the user has not clicked on the Plugins.
  • Through so-called iFrame connections, the browser loads, in addition to the main page, an additional smaller "page within a page" containing the respective Plugin. In the case of a Facebook Plugin, this iFrame connection or source code originates entirely from Facebook and cannot be controlled or processed by the COMPANY.
  • If the user is not logged into Facebook or is not registered at all, a COOKIE is still placed that is not identifiable and is valid for two years.
  • If the browser later reconnects to the social network's server, the COOKIE is transferred and may help create a profile. For users who subsequently register, a connection with the information contained in the COOKIE may also be possible.
  • If the user is logged into Facebook during the current session, information about both the page and the COOKIE is transmitted – this session identification information may be associated with the respective account.
  • For information about rights and privacy settings, users should refer to Facebook Inc. or follow Facebook's privacy instructions at: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.
  • With Add-ons, the user can block Facebook Social Plugins for the browser, for example using "Facebook Blocker." Facebook Inc. processes data in compliance with applicable EU data protection legislation and the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement.
  • 4. DoubleClick by Google – a remarketing and behavioral targeting service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies This service links the WEBSITE's advertising activity with the DoubleClick by Google advertising network.
  • Google LLC processes data in compliance with applicable EU data protection legislation and the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement.
  • Article 5. (1) USERS have the right, under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, to:
  • 1. Access collected personal data and data portability;
  • 2. Request their rectification, restriction, or erasure;
