Other cookies remain on your computer and enable us to recognise your computer again the next time you visit our site (so-called permanent cookies). Our partner companies are not permitted to collect, or use data from cookies that can be linked to directly identifiable information that we may hold about you via our website.

Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge
To display our Trusted Shops seal of approval and any collected reviews as well as to offer the Trusted Shops products for buyers after placing an order, the Trusted Shops Trust Badge is included on this website.
This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a weighing up of interests, in the optimal marketing of our offer. The Trustbadge and the services advertised are an offer of Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne.
When the Trustbadge is called, the Web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which can be used, for example. Your IP address, date and time of the retrieval, transferred amount of data and the requesting provider (access data) contains and documented the call. These access data will not be evaluated and automatically overwritten within seven days after the end of your page visit.
Further personal data are only transferred to Trusted Shops, as far as you decide after the conclusion of an order for the use of Trusted Shops products or have already registered for the use. In this case, the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops applies.
Identity and credit check by selection of Klarna payment methods
When you choose a payment method provided by our partner Klarna Bank AB
[Link to Klarna], you will be asked during the checkout process to consent to providing data required for payment processing as well as for identity and credit checks conducted by Klarna. After granting consent, your data (first and last name, adress, street, house number, postal code, city, date of birth, telephone number, e-mail address and bank account details for direct withdrawal) and other data associated with your order (such as shopping cart, order history, payment experiences, IP address) will be transmitted to Klarna.
For the purpose of a specific identity and credit check, Klarna or a partner company authorized by Klarna transfers data to credit reporting agencies (credit bureaus) and obtains from this information, and when necessary additional information, on credit checks based on mathematical and statistical methods. This credit check is influenced by your place of residence. Detailed information on this and employed credit agencies can be found in Klarna privacy policy [Link to Klarna].
Furthermore, Klarna utilizes a third party for the settlement and prevention of fraud when necessary. Data gained from this third party is encrypted so that the stored data is only accessible to Klarna. This data will only be used when you select a payment option in cooperation with Klarna; otherwise the data will automatically expire after 30 minutes.
