Use of the Awin partner program
We use the "Awin" partner program of AWIN AG (Eichhornstraße 3, 10785 Berlin; "Awin").
If you click on an advertisement with a partner link, Awin will place a cookie for conversion tracking on your computer. The cookies serve the purpose of correct billing as part of the partner program by recording the success of an advertisement. The cookies recognize that you have clicked on the ad and the origin of the order from the advertiser can be traced. Awin also uses so-called fingerprinting. This allows the device you are using to be recognized. Among other things, Awin can recognize that the partner link on this website has been clicked or viewed. Among other things, Awin records your transaction data (such as order value, product type, sales channel, use of a voucher) and your user name in the form of an individual sequence of numbers, so that no identity is recognizable, but contains information about the specific user actions and the user's device used.
