You should always treat your access information confidentially and close the browser window when you have finished communicating with us, especially if you share the computer with others.

Storage of Access Data in Server Log Files

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. We only store access data in so-called server log files, such as the name of the requested file, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider. This data is exclusively evaluated to ensure the smooth operation of the site and to improve our offer and does not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person.

Data Collection and Use for Contract Processing and When Opening a Customer Account

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order, when contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email) or when opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data provided by you for contract processing and handling your inquiries. This also includes your email address and your phone number, which are passed on to our shipping service providers for contract processing. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after the expiry of tax and commercial retention periods, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further data use that is legally permitted and about which we inform you below.

Data Transfer for Contract Fulfillment

For contract fulfillment, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the order process, we pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to payment service providers commissioned by us or to the selected payment service. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you open an account there. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the order process. The privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies in this respect.

Use of Google (Universal) Analytics and Google Analytics 4 for Web Analysis

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics and Google Analytics 4, web analytics services provided by Google Inc. (www.google.de).

Further Implemented Google Advertising Features

The Google Analytics code implemented on this website supports display advertising. Within the framework of Google Analytics for display advertising, remarketing is activated on this website. Grillfürst GmbH ads are shown on websites by third-party providers, including Google. Grillfürst GmbH and third-party providers, including Google, use cookies for this purpose. The combined use of first-party cookies (e.g., Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (e.g., DoubleClick cookies) allows for targeted ad targeting, ad optimization, and ad serving based on your previous visits to this website. You can deactivate Google Analytics for display advertising with the ad settings manager and customize ads in the Google Display Network. Furthermore, this site uses Google Analytics reports on performance based on demographic characteristics and interests, which store demographic characteristics such as age and gender in a cookie. This data cannot be traced back to a specific person and can be deactivated at any time via the ad settings (link: https://www.google.de/settings/ads).

Google reCAPTCHA

On this website, we also use the reCAPTCHA function of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). This function primarily serves to distinguish whether an input is made by a natural person or is improperly made by machine and automated processing. The service involves sending the IP address and, if applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google and is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in determining individual responsibility on the Internet and avoiding abuse and spam.

Furthermore, this website uses external fonts, Google Fonts. Google Fonts is a service of Google Inc. ("Google"). The integration of these web fonts takes place through a server call, usually a Google server.

In the context of using Google reCAPTCHA, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

In the event of the transfer of personal data to Google LLC. based in the USA, Google LLC. has certified itself for the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield", which ensures compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.

Use of Facebook Plugins

Our website uses so-called social plugins ("plugins") of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). The plugins are marked with a Facebook logo or the addition "Social Plugin from Facebook" or "Facebook Social Plugin".

When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can directly assign your visit to our website to your Facebook profile. If you interact with the plugins, for example, by clicking the "Like" button or leaving a comment, this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on your Facebook profile and displayed to your Facebook friends.

For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Facebook, as well as your related rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook's data protection notices: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php

If you do not want Facebook to directly assign the data collected via our website to your Facebook profile, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the loading of Facebook plugins with add-ons for your browser, e.g., with a "Facebook Blocker" or script blocker.

Use of the Facebook Pixel (Facebook Custom Audiences)

We use the so-called "Facebook Pixel" from Facebook Inc. ("Facebook") on our website. This enables interest-based advertisements ("Facebook Ads") to be displayed to users of our website when they visit the Facebook social network or other websites that also use this procedure. Through the Facebook Pixel, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Facebook server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our current knowledge:
By integrating the Facebook Pixel, Facebook receives the information that you have clicked on an advertisement from us or have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider may obtain and store your IP address and other identification features.

By using the Facebook Pixel, we aim to show Facebook Ads only to Facebook users who have shown interest in our website. With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we want to ensure that our Facebook Ads are relevant to users' potential interests and do not appear bothersome. Furthermore, the Facebook Pixel allows us to track the effectiveness of Facebook Ads for statistical purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook Ad. The legal basis for using the Facebook Pixel is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

You can object to the use of the Facebook Pixel at any time by using the following opt-out option: You can deactivate the Facebook Pixel here.

Third-party information: Facebook Inc., 1601 S California Ave, Palo Alto, California 94304, USA, http://www.facebook.com/policy.php

Bing Ads

This website uses Bing Ads, a service of Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA – Bing Ads Conversion Tracking. When you click on one of our ads on Bing or on selected websites in the Bing advertising network, a temporary cookie is stored on your computer. If you then land on a conversion page on our site, it will be registered – recognizable to Microsoft Bing and us – that you previously clicked on the ad. This is used to create conversion statistics, i.e., to record how many users reach a conversion page after clicking on an ad, meaning they complete an ordering process. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, via browser settings that generally deactivate the automatic setting of cookies. The use of Bing Ads is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. You can object to the use of the Facebook Pixel at any time by using the following opt-out option: You can deactivate Bing tracking here:
