"Cookies" are small files that are stored on users' computers. These files can contain various information. A cookie's primary purpose is to store information about a user (or the device where the cookie is stored) during or after their visit within an online service. Temporary cookies, also known as "session cookies" or "transient cookies," are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online service or closes their browser.

Newsletter Content: We send newsletters, emails, and other electronic notifications containing promotional information (hereinafter referred to as "newsletter") only with the recipients' consent or legal permission. If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described during the registration, they are decisive for users' consent. Otherwise, our newsletters contain information about our services and us.
Double Opt-In and Logging: Registration for our newsletter occurs via a double opt-in procedure. That means after registration, you'll receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary to prevent someone from registering with other people's email addresses. Newsletter subscriptions are logged to meet legal requirements. This includes storing the registration and confirmation times, as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored by the shipping service provider are also logged.
Registration Data: To sign up for the newsletter, providing your email address is sufficient. Optionally, we ask for your name for personal addressing in the newsletter.
Newsletter Dispatch and Analysis: The dispatch of the newsletter and associated performance measurement are based on the recipients' consent according to Art. 6(1)(a), Art. 7 GDPR, in conjunction with § 7(2) No. 3 UWG, or if consent is not required, based on our legitimate interests in direct marketing according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in conjunction with § 7(3) UWG.

NEWSLETTER – SHIPPING SERVICE PROVIDER
The newsletter is sent via the shipping service provider Mailerlite, Paupio 46, Vilnius, Lithuania.

GDPR and an order processing contract in accordance with Art. 28 Para. 3 S. 1 GDPR.
The dispatch service provider may use the data of the recipients in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assignment to a user, to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimize the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes. However, the dispatch service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass the data on to third parties.
NEWSLETTER – MEASURING SUCCESS
The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", ie a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the server when the newsletter is opened by our server or, if we use a shipping service provider. This call will initially collect technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval.
This information is used to improve the technical performance of services based on their specifications or audience and their reading habits, based on their locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. Statistical surveys also include determining if the newsletters will be opened, when they will be opened and which links will be clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our goal nor, if used, that of the shipping service provider to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
A separate revocation of the performance measurement is unfortunately not possible, in this case, the entire newsletter subscription must be terminated.

If a user accesses a function of this online offering that contains such a plugin, their device establishes a direct connection to Facebook's servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to the user's device and integrated into the online offering. User profiles can be created from the processed data. Therefore, we have no influence on the scope of data that Facebook collects using this plugin and inform users to the best of our knowledge.
By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives information that a user has accessed the respective page of the online offering. If the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to their Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins, such as clicking the Like button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from their device to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will obtain and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.
