This website uses both temporary session cookies and permanent cookies. Cookies are small text files that your Internet browser stores locally on your computer. These allow us to recognize you if and when you return to our website. This saves you, for example, the trouble of having to register again and helps us recommend relevant products to you. Cookies are a prerequisite for using the shopping basket in our online shop. If you disable cookies in your browsers, you may not be able to fully take advantage of this website’s functionality.
We also use cookies to analyze use of our website and display relevant advertising to you. In this data privacy policy, we describe how to use the cookie settings of your browser. Additional general information on cookies is provided in the following.

We capture data on use of this website for statistical purposes, for improving our service, for identifying and diagnosing problems with or misuse of our online offering or telecommunications services and systems, and for marketing purposes. What we actually do with this data is described in greater detail in the following sections.
Videos stored at YouTube are embedded in our website. The provider of the YouTube service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Among other things, YouTube uses cookies to maintain the integrity of video statistics and improve the usability of cookies. Videos stored at YouTube are embedded in our website in “extended data protection mode”. Cookies are only placed on your computer by YouTube if you play a video that is stored at YouTube and embedded in our website. The effect of “extended data protection mode” is that YouTube only saves cookies on your computer that contain no personally identifiable data. You can completely prevent the use of cookies by disabling them in your browser settings.
To the extent that personal data are processed in connection with using YouTube, this is done on the basis of a weighing of interests in accordance with a weighing of legitimate interests as per Art. 6, Paragraph 1, Point f of the GDPR (here our legitimate interest is to improve the design of our website to meet your requirements better) or on the basis of your consent as per Art. 6, Paragraph 1, Point a of the GDPR.
More information on data protection and the use of cookies by YouTube is available in the data privacy policy of YouTube at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. You can also manage your cookie-related settings there.
Our website uses social plugins, i.e. plugins of social media of the provider “AddToAny”.
For better protection of your data when visiting our website, these plugins are not fully integrated. Instead, they are only inserted with the aid of HTML links (the “Shariff solution”). This prevents a connection being made to the servers of a social media network when you open a page of our website. If you click on one of the buttons, a new window opens in your browser and calls a page of the other service provider’s website, on which you can then (possibly after entering your login data) click the “like” or “share” button, for example.
To the extent that personal data are processed when using social plugins, this takes place on the basis of a weighing of legitimate interests as per Art. 6, Paragraph 1, Point f of the GDPR (here our legitimate interest is to improve our website’s design to meet your needs better).
For information on the purpose and scope of data capture and further processing and use of captured data by other providers on their websites and your rights and possibilities for safeguarding your privacy by changing settings, please consult the data privacy policies of AddToAny (https://www.addtoany.com/privacy) and the social media providers concerned:
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies: text files that are stored on your device for analyzing how you use the website. The information on the use of our services generated in this way is typically transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. If IP anonymization is enabled on this website, Google crops the IP addresses of users in countries that belong to the European Union or have signed the EEA Agreements. Only in special cases is a full IP address first sent to a Google server in the USA and then cropped. At our request, Google uses this information to evaluate your use of this website, compile reports on website activity, and provide us with other services related to use of this website and the Internet. The IP address sent by your browser is not mingled with any other data of Google’s. You can prevent cookies from being stored on your device by selecting appropriate browser settings; however, please be advised that if you do this you may not be able to fully take advantage of all of this website’s functions. You can also prevent cookie-generated data pertaining to your use of this website (including your IP address) from being captured and sent to Google processing by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following address: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. It sets an opt-out cookie that suppresses capture of your data while visiting our website.
For detailed information on the conditions of use of and protection of data by Google Analytics, please go to https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/ or https://policies.google.com/?hl=en&gl=de. On our website, the code “gat._anonymizeIp()” has been added to Google Analytics to ensure anonymized capture of IP addresses. Please note that if you object to the associated tracking, the opt-out cookie may not have the desired effect. One solution is to install an opt-out browser add-on that is available from Google here.
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to permit statistical analysis of how you use our website. If you access this website from a location in the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA), Google crops your IP address before transmitting it to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is your computer’s complete IP address first sent to a Google server in the United States then cropped. Google has obtained certification under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and therefore ensures an appropriate level of data protection. At our request, Google uses this information to compile reports on website activity. The IP address sent by your browser is not mingled with any other data of Google’s. These analyses help us improve our services by ascertaining which of them are more or less popular with users.
To the extent that personal data are processed in connection with the use of Google Analytics, this occurs on the basis of a weighing of legitimate interests as per Art. 6, Paragraph 1, Point f of the GDPR (here our legitimate interest is to improve our website’s design to meet your needs better).
To measure the success of ads that we place with Google (“Google Ads”), we use Google Conversion Tracking, an analysis service of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Ads places a “conversion cookie” on your computer if you reach our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and cannot be used to personally identify you. They merely register that you have clicked on one of our ads and consequently been redirected to our website. This tells us the total number of users that have clicked on an ad of ours and been routed to our website. We do not receive any information that could be used to identify users.The personal data that Google captures in this way are also stored and processed on servers in the United States. The European Commission has not yet decided that the United States generally provides an adequate level of data protection. However, Google has pledged to comply with the terms of the EU-US Privacy Shield framework agreement regulating transatlantic exchanges of personal data for commercial purposes. More information on this is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks?hl=en&gl=de. For more information on data protection at Google, see https://policies.google.com/privacy?gl=de&hl=en.
If you do not wish to participate in this tracking process, you can disable it at https://adssettings.google.com/. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies of the “googleadservices.com” domain.
The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6, Paragraph 1, Point f of the GDPR (a weighing of interests based on our legitimate interest in being able to measure and therefore also control the success of our online advertising better).
This website uses the DoubleClick service. DoubleClick uses information on your visits to our or other websites in order to place online ads on products or services that may interest you, and employs cookies to capture it. DoubleClick is a service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. DoubleClick collects, processes or uses personal data based on its own criteria, and SPINNER GmbH therefore accepts no responsibility for the capture, processing or use of data by DoubleClick. Please refer to the data privacy policy of DoubleClick at http://www.google.de/policies/technologies/ads/. You can stop DoubleClick from collecting and processing data for the above-mentioned purposes at https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/. If you want to permanently disable the DoubleClick cookie, you can install the extension available at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996.

This website uses Google Maps: a map service that visually depicts geographical information. Google Maps is a service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Maps collects, processes or uses personal data according to its own criteria, and SPINNER GmbH therefore accepts no responsibility for the capture, processing or use of data by Google Maps. Please refer to the terms of use of Google Maps at https://www.google.com/intl/en/help/terms_maps/ and the data privacy policy of Google Maps (Google) at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

To the extent that personal data are processed in connection with the use of Google Maps, this occurs on the basis of a weighing of legitimate interests as per Art. 6, Paragraph 1, Point f of the GDPR (here our legitimate interest is to improve our website’s design to meet your needs better) or on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6, Paragraph 1, Point a of the GDPR.
SPINNER GmbH protects your personal data from unauthorized access, use or publication. For this purpose, SPINNER GmbH takes appropriate technical precautions that reflect the current state of technology. If you need to enter account or credit card information in order to make payment, this is stored exclusively with the contracted PCI-DSS-certified payment service provider and not with us. However, SPINNER GmbH calls your attention to the fact that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may suffer from security issues. It is therefore not possible to guarantee that all of your personal data will be absolutely safe from unauthorized access by third parties.
Apart from this, we strongly advise you to also protect yourself, for example by keeping your passwords secret.
