SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. 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 line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, third parties cannot read the data you transmit to us.

We use the OpenStreetMap (OSM) map service. The provider is the Open Street Map Foundation (OSMF), 132 Maney Hill Road, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, B72 1JU, United Kingdom.
When you visit a website on which OpenStreetMap is integrated, your IP address and other information about your behaviour on this website is passed on to the OSMF. OpenStreetMap may store cookies in your browser or use similar recognition technologies.
Furthermore, your location may be recorded if you have allowed this in your device settings, e.g. on your cell phone. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission.
