The processing of personal data in connection with our website is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1) of the GDPR on the basis of:

  • our legitimate interest in ensuring the stability and operational security of the system (point (f)).

Cookies

We use session cookies on our website to make our site more user-friendly. Cookies are small files that your browser creates automatically and which are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site. 

If you do not wish this to happen, you can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow them on a case-by-case basis. Please note, however, that disabling cookies will mean you will not be able to use all the features of our website.

We store the personal data collected each time you visit our website and transfer files for a period of 180 days. This data is stored for reasons of data security—in particular to defend against attempts to attack our web server—and to ensure the stability and operational security of our system.
 

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
 

According to the EU General Data Protection Regulation, you have the following rights:

  • Under certain circumstances, to object to the processing of your personal data or to withdraw your previously given consent to processing;
  • To receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format or to request its transfer to another controller;
