Google Double Click Cookie
In connection with the use of Google Analytics (see below), this site uses the so-called DoubleClick cookies which enable recognising your browser whenever you visit other websites.

As IP anonymization is enabled on this website, some parts of the IP address will be masked within the area of member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before sending. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA and masked there. Google will not associate your anonymised IP address, transmitted from your browser through Google Analytics, with any other data held by Google.
Google will use this information to analyse how you use the website and tailor ads to be displayed to you, to compile reports about your website activities and ads for advertising providers and to provide other services related to the use of the website and the Internet. In addition, Google may transfer this information to third parties from time to time if this is required by the law or if third parties process such data by order of Google.

Google Tag Manager
To manage the interest- or location-based advertising services, we also use Google Tag Manager. The Tag Manager tool alone is a domain that does not use cookies and does not record any personal data. It is rather that the tool enables firing other tags which then record data from time to time (for more information, see above). If you disable a tag on the domain or cookie level, all tracking tags implemented within Google Tag Manager will be disabled.
Social Media Plugins from Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Instagram
Our online shop uses social plugins ("plugins") from the social network Facebook and Google+, as well as from the microblogging-services Twitter and Instagram. These services are offered by Facebook Inc., Google Inc., Twitter Inc. and Instagram LLC (“operator”).
Facebook is operated by the Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). You can find an overview of the Facebook Plugins and their look here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins
Google+ is operated by the Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). You can find an overview of the Google Plugins and their look here: https://developers.google.com/+/web/
Twitter is operated by the Twitter Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA (“Twitter”). You can find an overview of the Twitter buttons and their look here: https://about.twitter.com/en_us/company/brand-resources.html

When you open a webpage in our site which contains the plugins, your browser transmits the information directly to the servers of Facebook, Google, Twitter or Instagram. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from the operator to your web browser and integrated in the site. Through the integration of the plugin the operators get the information that your browser opened our site, even if you do not own an account or you are not logged in. This information (together with your IP address in short form) is sent directly to the servers in the US and is saved there by the single operator.
If you are logged in in your profile, the operator can immediately connect your visit to your Facebook, Google+, Twitter or Instagram profile. If you interact with the plugins, i.e. clicking on the “Like”, “+1”, “Twit” or “Instagram” button, the information will be sent as well to the operator server and saved there. Furthermore, the information will be sent to your accounts and posted, so that your contacts can see them.
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the operators, as well as your related rights and settings options for the protection of your privacy, please refer to the privacy policy of the single social media providers.
