Online product configurators

Our highlight products can be configured via the website. The items consist of several (in part optional) components, which are offered in many different colours. All individual parts offered are available from stock in Cologne.

This is how it works:

Selecting and configuring a “Wow” product is easy. Go to the navigation item “Shop” and select the sub-item “Product configuration”. There, you can decide on the product of your choice by clicking on the tile and are automatically taken to the configurator.

Each colour of the individual components can be selected individually. The dots on the left correspond to the colours available for the product.

The inventory is updated depending on the selection and availability of components. If gift wrapping is not included, it can be chosen separately.

Two-factor authentication:

REFLECTS Login Area - Personal Data and Two-Factor Authentication

What is two-factor authentication?

Activate two-factor authentication to ensure additional protection for your webshop access and account with two independent components. When logging in with 2FA activated, the login must be verified by a one-time password from a compatible app or a password manager (existing software on your system). Many users are familiar with this function from online banking. The option can be activated under “Personal Profile”.

REFLECTS Login Area - Activate Two-Factor Authentication

Here’s how:

The first step is to scan the QR code with your 2FA app or enter the code below it and you will receive a 6-digit one-time password in your app that updates every 30 seconds.

In the second step, enter the newly generated 6-digit one-time password to check that the 2FA has been set up correctly. You can then click on the blue button to verify your one-time password and activate 2FA.

As soon as you want to log in, alongside your email address and password, you will also be asked for a one-time password, which is generated via your 2FA app.

REFLECTS Forgotten password Procedure

Forgotten password:

If you have forgotten your password, you can set a new password under “Login” by clicking on “Forgotten password”.
When you enter your email address, you will receive an email with a link that is valid for two hours. You can set up a new password via this link. If you do not use the link within two hours, you must request a new link.
Your data security is important to us. Therefore, we have chosen this process to set the new password via a link.

Technically necessary cookies do not require consent. All data is anonymized and encrypted.

Are cookies generally bad?

Not in general, but a distinction must be made here: Cookies are a common means deployed on the web to provide or improve offers for users. The functions of cookies are manifold. For example, there are cookies that are necessary for the proper function of an online shop, e.g. for the language selection of a website or the login status.

Some cookies are used to identify (anonymized) and track a user. This sounds strange at first, but it is essential for the website operator. Only in this way can it be determined how many customers visit the shop and which pages they access. This is the so-called statistical web tracking.
In addition, cookies are used for web services that generate personalized advertising for users. In the process, data is passed on to third parties. It is important to differentiate between these cookies.

Types of cookies:

  • Technically necessary cookies: Technically necessary cookies ensure the basic function of a web shop, such as the shopping basket function in the online shop or saving your watch lists. In addition, a cookie saves your cookie settings so that you are not asked again each time you visit the website. Our technically necessary cookies include:
  • Session: We use session cookies to enable you to use the basic function of the webshop. These cookies are deleted again after closing the webshop.
    CRSF protection:CRSF protection prevents hackers from performing actions in the online shop on your behalf.
    Time zone: Your time zone is recorded to determine your geographical location. No specific addresses are determined in the process.
  • Statistics cookies: SStatistics cookies help us, as a website operator, to understand how visitors interact with our website. The information we collect is evaluated anonymously. From this, we derive necessary changes to the website that should lead to enhanced user-friendliness. No data will be passed on to third parties.
  • Our main web tracking via the Matomo service is located in-house on our proprietary servers. No data will be passed on to third parties. All data is anonymised and encrypted. In addition, we use Google Analytics with the activation of IP anonymisation.
  • Marketing cookies: Marketing cookies are used to serve personalised advertisements. User behaviour, i.e. products clicked on in the shop, is analysed and stored by cookies. When you leave the website and continue to browse the web, e.g. the products you have viewed will be displayed to you in the form of advertising. In the process, data is transmitted to third parties. We do not actively use this type of cookie, but through the use of integrated YouTube videos, third-party cookies from Google/YouTube are included on our website.
