  1. Legal Basis

We use cookies in accordance with the German Act on Data Protection in Digital Services (TDDDG) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Pursuant to Section 25 of the TDDDG, storing information on your device or accessing information already stored on your device is permitted only with your consent; however, consent is not required if such storage or access is strictly necessary to provide a digital service explicitly requested by you.

Where the use of cookies involves the processing of personal data, the relevant provisions of the GDPR also apply.

  1. Consent and Cookie Banner

When you first visit this website, a cookie banner will be displayed. Non-essential cookies will only be used after you have provided your consent by clicking the “Accept” button on the banner.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie settings; such withdrawal applies to future use.

Pre-ticked checkboxes or implied consent do not constitute valid consent.

  1. Cookie Categories

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function, including page navigation, secure access, and the proper operation of the checkout process. Under Section 25(2) of the TDDDG, consent is not required for the use of these cookies.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalized experiences. They are used only with your consent.

Analytical Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. They are used only with your consent.

Third-Party Cookies — Stripe

Stripe may set cookies on your device during payment processing. Stripe uses these cookies for payment processing, fraud prevention, and security purposes.

Stripe’s cookies include both strictly necessary cookies and functional cookies. Stripe’s essential cookies are used for authentication, fraud prevention, and security; functional cookies may be used to analyze and improve services. Stripe acts as an independent controller regarding certain aspects of its cookie usage. For more information, please refer to Stripe’s Cookie Policy.

  1. Cookie Retention Periods

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies do not have a fixed maximum lifespan. They are retained only for the reasonable duration necessary to fulfill their purposes. Session cookies expire when the browser is closed.

Analytics and Functional Cookies

For non-essential cookies, we set a maximum retention period of 13 months from the date they are set. This practice aligns with recommendations from German and European data protection authorities (including the German Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and the French CNIL) and follows established GDPR standards.

Validity of Consent

Your consent is valid for a maximum of 6 months. After this period, the cookie banner will reappear to request fresh consent, unless you modify your preferences in the meantime.

Third-Party Cookies (Stripe)

The lifespan of cookies set by Stripe is determined by Stripe. For example, the __stripe_mid cookie is valid for one year, whereas the __stripe_sid cookie is a session cookie that expires after 30 minutes. Retention periods applicable to Stripe cookies are outlined in Stripe’s own Cookie Policy.
