SSL and/or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
4. Recording of data on this website
Server log files
The provider of this website and its pages (Cloudflare, see section 2) automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser communicates to us automatically. The information comprises:
- The type and version of browser used (user agent)
- Referrer URL
- The requested address (URL)
- Date and time of the request
- The IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the technically error free depiction and the optimization of the operator’s website. In order to achieve this, server log files must be recorded.
Contact form and guided inquiry
If you send us information through the contact form or the guided inquiry (“inquiry”), the data you enter (e.g., name, contact details, your message or details about your request) is transmitted to a Cloudflare Pages Function and forwarded to us by e-mail from there. The e-mail is sent through the mail server of All-Inkl.com – Neue Medien Münnich, Inh. René Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany (hereinafter referred to as “All-Inkl”). Your entries are not stored in a database or any other storage on this website; afterwards they are held in our e-mail inbox.
To protect against spam, the forms contain a hidden field (honeypot) that holds no personal data, and the Cloudflare Turnstile service (see section 5).
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The data remains in our inbox until you ask us to delete it or the purpose for storing it no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
Inquiry by e-mail or telephone
If you contact us by e-mail or telephone, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent. This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time. The data you send us remains with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
5. Consent management (Cookie settings) and spam protection
Consent management (Cookie settings)
On your first visit, a notice asks whether you agree to statistics (Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager) and marketing (Google Ads conversion measurement). Necessary functions are always active. We use our own tool for this; no external provider is involved.
Your choice is stored in your browser’s local storage (localStorage) under the key mgc-consent. The entry contains the version of the notice, the time of your decision and your two choices (statistics, marketing). No cookie is set and no identifier of your person is stored.
The purpose is to remember your decision and to be able to prove it. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7(1) GDPR (obligation to demonstrate consent) and § 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG (strictly necessary). The entry remains stored until you delete your browser data or the version of the notice changes and we ask you again.
You can change or revoke your choice at any time via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of every page. The change takes effect immediately; revoking is as easy as giving consent. When you revoke consent, we delete the cookies set on this website by Google Analytics or Google Ads; you can also delete cookies in your browser at any time. As long as you have not consented, nothing is loaded from Google.
Cloudflare Turnstile (spam protection)
To protect the contact form and the guided inquiry from spam and abuse, we use Cloudflare Turnstile. The provider is Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. The associated script is loaded from challenges.cloudflare.com only once you start using a form. According to Cloudflare, Turnstile sets no cookies for tracking purposes; only the information technically required for the check is processed. The verification token generated by Turnstile is checked server-side by our Cloudflare Pages Function before the e-mail is sent. In this process, technical data such as your IP address and browser characteristics may be transmitted to Cloudflare.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in protection against spam and abuse (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and § 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG (strictly necessary). Cloudflare is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (see section 2).
6. Analytics tools and advertising (only with your consent)
The following services are loaded exclusively if you have agreed to the category “Statistics” or “Marketing” in the “Cookie settings”. In doing so, we pass your consent decision to Google via Google Consent Mode (version 2).

Google Analytics allows us to analyze the use of the website. In particular, pages viewed, device and browser, approximate location and events such as the submission of a form are recorded. After your consent, Google typically sets cookies (e.g., _ga and _ga_*) in your browser for this purpose; they are stored for up to 2 years unless you delete them earlier or withdraw your consent. User- and event-level data stored in Google Analytics is deleted automatically after 14 months.
This service is used on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You can revoke your consent at any time via “Cookie settings” in the footer.
Data transmission to the US is based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (see above) and additionally on the Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission. Details can be found here: https://business.safety.google/adscontrollerterms/sccs/.
You can additionally prevent collection by Google Analytics by installing the browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.
Google Ads conversion tracking
With your consent to the category “Marketing”, we use Google Ads conversion measurement. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This allows us to recognize whether an inquiry was made through our website after a click on an ad. For this, Google sets cookies (e.g., _gcl_*) that are stored for up to 90 days unless you delete them earlier or withdraw your consent.
This service is used on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You can revoke your consent at any time via “Cookie settings” in the footer.
More information can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. For the data protection framework, see the information on Google Tag Manager above.
