5. Use of cookies
 a) What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored on your computer, tablet or mobile phone when you visit a website and generally serve for more effective design of websites. Some cookies (session cookies) are deleted automatically after you close your browser; others in turn (persistent cookies or tracking codes) will be archived on the respective device until a specific expiration date or until the cache of your browser is deleted and permit us to identify you as a returning visitor of our website. Most web browsers accept cookies automatically. You can, however, change your browser’s settings with simple clicks if you wish.

For more information on cookies, see www.allaboutcookies.org.

b) What do we use cookies for?

We use cookies for

  • Management of your confirmation of age queries
  • Session management (e.g. gastronomy search, profile management)
  • Warranty of a safe internet environment
  • Verification of our website performance
  • Evaluation of the type and manner of use of our online services by our customers, in order to better design the services. This way, we can tell, for example, when a process is too extensive and the users cancel the active process for this reason. This knowledge can simplify the process steps and design them in a more customer-oriented manner.
  • Improvement of user friendliness, trackability for our customers and the online experience.

We do not use our cookies to track your internet activities outside of our website.

c) What types of cookies are there?

Record from where you have called up the site, which search engine you used, which link was clicked and which search term was chosen, and localises the site of the user at the time of site access. Records the number of visits and the duration of the first, current and preceding visit. These cookies register only visits to our website and are not activated when you visit any other websites.

Retargeting or remarketing

Our website uses retargeting technologies in order to make the internet offer more interesting for you. You will be marked by cookies when you visit certain websites and identified by them again later on other websites. We are certain that the display of personalised, interest-specific advertisements for the internet user is usually more interesting than advertisements that do not have any such personal references. These advertising media on the sites of our partners are displayed based on cookie technology and analysis of the previous usage behaviour. This form of advertising takes place entirely anonymised. No personal data are stored and no user profiles are combined with your personal data.

f) Revocation of cookie use

If you do not want us to recognise your computer again, you can prevent storage of cookies on your hard disc by choosing “Do not accept cookies” in your browser settings. How this works in detail can be taken from the instructions of your browser provider.

In your browser, you can set that storage of cookies is only accepted if you consent to it. If you do not want to accept the cookies of our service providers and partners, you can choose the settings in your browser “Block cookies of third-party providers”.

Usually, the menu bar of your web browser displays how you can reject new cookies and turn off those already received via the help function.

However, note that unhindered navigation on our website and selection, design and storage of your products require some ‘essential’ cookies. We only use these cookies to review the website’s efficiency and record visitor frequency.

6. Google Analytics

a) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and that permit analysis of your use of the website. As a rule, the information generated by the cookie through your use of this website is sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Due to activation of IP anonymisation on these websites, your IP address will be abbreviated first by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the convention on the European Economic area. Only in exceptions will your full IP address be transferred to a server of Google in the USA and abbreviated there. On the order of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, in order to compile reports on the website activities and to render further services connected to website use and internet use towards the website operator.

b) The IP address submitted by your browser will not be combined with any other Data of Google.

c) You may prevent saving of the cookies by making the corresponding settings in your browser software; however, note that you may be unable to fully use all functions of the website in such a case. You may furthermore prevent recording of the data generated by the cookie and referring to your use of the website (incl. your Internet Protocol address) and processing of these personal data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

d) You may check out of Google Analytics by clicking the following link as well: Yes, I would like to check out.

e) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. This causes IP addresses to be abbreviated before further processing so that conclusions as to persons are excluded.

f) We use Google Analytics, in order to analyse use of our website and regularly improve it. The statistics acquired enable us to improve our offer and to make it more interesting for you as the user. For exceptions in which personal data are transmitted to the USA, Google has subjected to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

g) The legal basis for using Google Analytics is sect. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

h) Information on the third-party provider: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001. User conditions: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html, Overview of data protection: http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html, and the data protection statement: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

7. Use of web fonts

a) These websites use external fonts called Google Fonts. Google Fonts is a service of Google Inc. (“Google”). These web fonts are integrated by a server call, usually concerning a server of Google in the USA. This informs the server of which of our websites you have visited. The IP address of the browser of the end device of the visitor of these websites is also stored by Google.

b) When calling up a site, your browser will load the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to properly display texts and fonts. Web fonts are used in the interest of consistent and attractive display of our online offer.

c) This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of sect. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

d) For more information, see the data protection notes of Google, which you can call up here: www.google.com/fonts#AboutPlace:about and www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

8. Information on location of the web server (§13 para. 1 TMG)
 The data we receive via our website will be processed on servers within Europe.

9. Integration of services and third-party contents

a) jQuery

This website partially uses jQuery technologies, which, for example, optimise the loading speed. In this respect, program libraries of Google servers are called. The CDN (Content delivery network) of Google is used. If you used jQuery on a different page of Google before, your browser will use the copy stored in your cache. If this does not apply, it must be downloaded, which means that data from your browser will reach Google!Inc. (“Google”). Your data will be transmitted to the USA. For more details, see: https://developers.google.com/speed/libraries/#jquery and the data protection provisions of google.de.

b) Other third-party contents

Other third-party contents, such as RSS feeds or graphics, are integrated from other websites. This always requires that the providers of these contents (hereinafter: “Third-Party Providers”) perceive the users’ IP addresses. Without the IP address, they would be unable to send the contents to the respective user’s browser. The IP address is therefore required to present these contents. We strive to only use such contents the providers of which only use the IP address for delivering the contents. However, we cannot influence it if the Third-Party Providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. We inform the users of this as far as we are aware of it.
