Most of such information is provided by you when you search, buy, post, participate in a contest or questionnaire, or communicate with our customer service. For example, you provide information when you search for a product on our website; place an order through Wilh. Steinberg Online Shop or through any other online store operated by us; provide information by registering on our website; follow us on or post on social media, communicate with us by phone, e-mail, or otherwise; complete a questionnaire or a contest entry form; provide and rate reviews; post on social media. As a result of those actions, you might supply us with such information as your name, address, email address, user name, password, birthday and phone numbers; credit card information; information of people to whom your purchases have been shipped, including addresses and phone number.

Automatic information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many websites, we use cookies and clear GIFs (web beacons) and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses Wilh. Steinberg Online Shop or advertisements and other content served by or on behalf of us on other websites. Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your device to the Internet; device and connection information such as browser type, version, and time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system, and platform; purchase history. We may also use browser data such as cookies, Flash cookies (also known as Flash Local Shared Objects), or similar data on certain parts of our website for fraud prevention and other purposes. During some visits we may use software tools such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page. We may also collect technical information to help us identify your device for fraud prevention and diagnostic purposes.

E-mail Communications: We may also use email addresses to contact visitors who communicate with us. For example, we send email to visitors who provide us with their email addresses for specific purposes such as receiving our email newsletters or being notified if they have won one of our contests. Each email newsletter always contains instructions on how to discontinue receipt of the emails from us. However, if a visitor at any time chooses to no longer receive such information and opt-out from any future mailings, they should simply click UNSUBSCRIBE to any of our e-mail sent to them or change their email marketing preferences in their Wilh. Steinberg Online Shop account if registered. We also use your email address for transactional purposes so that we can fulfil your order.

Third party links


In an attempt to provide increased value to our visitors, we may choose various third party websites to link to from our own website.
