Our website uses local storage items, session storage items and/or cookies. Local storage is a mechanism that enables data to bestored within the browser on your end device. This data usually includes user preferences, such as the "day" or "night" mode of awebsite, and is retained until you manually delete the data. Session storage is very similar to Local storage, whereas the storageduration only lasts during the current session, so until the current tab is closed. The session storage objects are then deleted from yourend device. Cookies are information that a web server (server that provides web content) stores on your end device in order to be ableto identify this end device. They are either temporarily deleted for the duration of a session (session cookies) and after your visit to a website or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

They can improve the functionality of a website, control shopping cart functions, increasethe security and comfort of website use and carry out analyses regarding visitor flows and behaviour. Depending on their individualfunctions, they must be classified in terms of data protection legislation. Are they necessary for the operation of the website andintended to provide certain features (shopping cart feature) or serve to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure visitorbehaviour), then their use is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in storing local storageitems, session storage items and cookies in order to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services. In allother cases, local storage items, session storage items and cookies are only stored with your express consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
