Web analytics by Google Analytics:
The web analytic services on our website are provided by Google Analytics (https://www.google.com/analytics/). This means that when you visit our website, a cookie by Google Analytics will be stored on your computer or mobile device, except when your browser settings don’t allow for such cookies.
This further means that when you visit our website, the web analytics data described above – including the “click-stream data”, the data from “web beacons and tracking links” and information stored in Google Analytics’ cookies – will be sent to Google Analytics for analysis for and on behalf of us. Please note that if you have created an online profile at our website and if you are logged on in this profile, a unique number identifying this profile is also being sent to Google Analytics in order to be able to match the web analytics data to this profile.
Google Analytics acts as our agent, which means that we solely determine the purposes for which the data is being used and that Google Analytics will not disclose the information to any third parties (except when required to do so by law or court order). In privacy terms, this means that we are the “controller” and Google Analytics the “processor”. You can find out more about the relationships between Google Analytics and us in the Google Analytics’ privacy policy under “Privacy Policy for Our Provision of Services” at https://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html.
If you do not wish information about your behavior at our website being collected and assessed by Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) to not send your site visit information to Google Analytics. The browser add-on is available for most modern browsers. The Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on does not prevent information from being sent to the website itself or in other ways to web analytics services.

Our website uses retargeting technologies within the internet. This enables us to show our visitors, who were already interested in our shop and our products, advertisement from us on partner websites.
