Analytics and third-party tools
When visiting our website, statistical analyses may be made of your surfing behaviour. This happens primarily through the use of cookies and analytics. The analysis of your surfing behaviour is usually anonymous, i.e. we will not be able to identify you from this data. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using specific tools. You will find detailed information on this in the following Privacy Policy notice. You can object to this analysis. In our Privacy Policy we will inform you about how to exercise your rights in this regard.
SSL or TLS Encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and for the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as site operator. You can recognise 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 bar. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.
Cookies
Some of our webpages use cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device's memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognise your browser when you next visit the site. You can configure your browser so that you are informed when a cookie is placed and you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions, or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use (such as the shopping cart) are set on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website owner has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the correct technical and optimised delivery of their services. If other cookies (such as those used to analyse your surfing behaviour) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this Privacy Policy.
Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in "server log files", which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
Browser type and browser version
Your operating system
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
The IP address
This data will not be combined with data from other sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfil a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.
Contact form
Should you send us questions via the contact form, we will collect the data entered on the form, including the contact details you provide, in order to answer your question and any follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your permission.
We will therefore process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal message sent to us by e-mail is sufficient. The legality of the processing of data which has already occurred before we receive your request remains unaffected by this.
We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until such time as you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any mandatory statutory provisions – especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods – remain unaffected by this provision.

The data processed and used in each instance will be deleted after the end of the use of the services offered on our website, unless CT Formpolster has a justified interest in the further processing and use of said data, which is not outweighed by your interests worthy of protection in the deletion of the data.
CT-formpolster.de additionally uses a certain technology to collect certain data on the use of this website. For example, it enables us to determine how many visitors access the website, the date and time of the visit, the duration of the visit, and to identify which pages have been visited.

Cookies determine the "first level domain name" (to use an example: if your e-mail address is "This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.", the cookie identifies the "xyz.com" part of your e-mail address) and the date and time of website access. Cookies themselves do not allow the visitor to be identified. A cookie is a small data packet, which is to your browser and stored on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies do not harm your computer. You can configure your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, to either have your computer block cookies or warn you whenever cookies are used.
