Collecting data
Every internet server registers automatically the access requests to websites. When you visit our website our server registers temporarily, as a security precaution, the domain name or the IP address of the enquiring computer as well as the access date, the filenames and the URL which you visited, the HTTP reply code and the website from which you visit us as well as the bytes transferred during the connection. This information is saved anonymously. It is not possible to identify the person or his/her behaviour from this data. Futhermore personal data are not registered unless this information is explicitly provided by you, for example as part of a customer order. We treat your data responsibly and according to the legal requirements.

Computer related data will be saved by us in order to observe trends and to generate statistics. The saved data also serves to identify and track unauthorised attempts to access our server. We generate exclusively anonymous profiles about the use of our website only to improve the user`s navigation and to optimise the range of products for users. No personally related surf profiles or similar profiles are generated or processed.
We collect, save and process your personal data only as far as this is necessary for the completion of customer orders or enquiries. To facilitate this we may share information with a third party involved in the order transaction. In addition we will not pass your data on to a third party, unless we are compelled to do so for legal reasons or because you determine this yourself.

A cookie only contains data which a server outputs, or/and data that the user inputs on request (e.g. internet connections : domain information, path, expiry date, cookie name and value). They contain purely technical information, there are no names or other personal data. A cookie cannot secretly search a hard drive.
