To display our Trusted Shops seal of approval and some of the ratings we may have received and in order to offer the Trusted Shops products to buyers who have already placed an order, the Trusted Shops trustbadge has been embedded in this website.
Its purpose is to protect, in a balancing of interests, the prevailing legitimate interests in an optimised marketing of our products and services pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 clause 1 lit. f GDPR. The trustbadge and therefore the advertised services are provided by Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne.
When the trustbadge is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, your IP address, the date and time the website was called up, the data volume that was transferred, and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the retrieval of this website. These access data are not analysed and are overwritten at the latest seven days after the end of your website visit.

By subscribing to the newsletter, the user consents to tracking for statistical purposes. This is specifically pointed out during registration. For this purpose, a so-called web beacon (or tracking pixel) is used. When delivering the newsletter, the external server can then capture certain data of the recipient, for example, at what time it is retrieved, the IP address or information about the email program (client) used. The name of the image file is individualised for each email recipient through attaching a distinct ID. In so doing, the email sender remembers which ID belongs to which email address and thus can see when the image is opened which newsletter recipient has just opened the email.
We store and analyse such personal data obtained through the tracking pixels included in the newsletters in order to optimise the mailing of the newsletter and to adapt the content of future newsletters even more to the interests of the recipients. These data are not forwarded to third parties.
Users may prevent such tracking by adjusting their email program settings in such a way that the program does not download any images in an email. If you unsubscribe from the newsletter, we consider that to be a withdrawal of this consent.
