When you visit our website, data is automatically processed, such as

Cookies & content management
We use cookies on our website. These are small files that the browser stores on your computer in order to provide you with the best possible functionality. Cookies can only store numbers and letters and are therefore not programs that can cause damage. The majority of the cookies we use are "session cookies", which are automatically deleted when you have finished your visit to our website. A small number of cookies remain stored on your computer until you delete them. These are used to recognize your browser on your next visit. If you do not agree to the automatic storage of cookies, you can adjust the settings of your browser and prevent the storage of cookies or only allow them for certain types. However, this may restrict the functionality of our website.
We use the following categories:
- Technically necessary cookies
→ Operation of the website, security, language settings - Statistics & analysis (e.g. Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity)
→ only with consent - Marketing and third-party content (YouTube, reCAPTCHA)
→ only with consent
Real Cookie Banner
We use "Real Cookie Banner" from devowl.io GmbH. The tool stores consents and revocations in a cookie.

Contact form
If you make inquiries using one of the contact forms, your contact details will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry or for possible follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on without your consent. If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We pass this data on to the responsible persons within our company or to the responsible persons within our group of companies. Otherwise, no data will be passed on without your express consent. The data entered in the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
When you contact us via a form or by e-mail, we process:
- Name
- E-mail address
- Telephone number (if provided)
- Message text
- Company data, if applicable
The contact form is also protected by Google reCAPTCHA.
