Some cookies are “session cookies.” Such cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your browser session. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself. Such cookies help us recognise you when you return to our website.
With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict, or prevent the setting of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured so that cookies are automatically deleted when the programme is closed. Disabling cookies may result in limited functionality of our website.
The setting of cookies that are necessary for electronic communication processes or for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., shopping cart) is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and smooth provision of our services. If other cookies are set (e.g., for analysis functions), they are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Our website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider of the web analytics service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

There may be exceptional cases in which Google transfers the full IP address to a server in the USA and truncates it there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide us with other services relating to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Our website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. It allows reports to be generated that contain statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google and visitor data from third-party providers. The data cannot be attributed to a specific person.

The transmission of your data to Sofort GmbH is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent) and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (processing for the fulfilment of a contract). You may revoke your previously granted consent at any time. Past data processing operations remain effective in the event of revocation.

Our website uses Google AdWords. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States.
AdWords is an online advertising programme. As part of the online advertising programme, we work with conversion tracking. After clicking on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Google AdWords cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of users. Through the cookie, Google and we can recognise that you clicked on an ad and were redirected to our website.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies are not traceable across AdWords customer websites. Conversion cookies are used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. AdWords customers learn how many users clicked on their ad and were redirected to pages with a conversion tracking tag. However, AdWords customers do not receive information that enables personal identification of users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use. The conversion cookie must be deactivated in the user settings of the browser. This also prevents inclusion in conversion tracking statistics.
The storage of “conversion cookies” is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise our web offering and advertising.
Details on Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking
Our website uses Google AdWords. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States.
AdWords is an online advertising programme. As part of the online advertising programme, we work with conversion tracking. After clicking on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Google AdWords cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of users. Through the cookie, Google and we can recognise that you clicked on an ad and were redirected to our website.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies are not traceable across AdWords customer websites. Conversion cookies are used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. AdWords customers learn how many users clicked on their ad and were redirected to pages with a conversion tracking tag. However, AdWords customers do not receive information that enables personal identification of users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use. The conversion cookie must be deactivated in the user settings of the browser. This also prevents inclusion in conversion tracking statistics.
The storage of “conversion cookies” is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise our web offering and advertising.
Details on Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict, or prevent the setting of cookies. Disabling cookies may result in limited functionality of our website.
