What are the legal features of an online store in Germany/EU?

Question

Law in IT

We need to make an online store for Germany. What points should be taken into account, for example, the mandatory checkbox "I agree to the processing of personal data", the page with the conditions and so on. On European sites, such things are very often present, including full contacts of a legal entity. I think that this is not casual and there are mandatory requirements for sites in Europe. Am I right and where to dig, where to read? Google did not help, apparently I do not know what request to give him

1. There are legal aspects to using a photo. In 2015, a court in Hamm issued a verdict for product image misrepresentation. The company sold garden umbrellas on Amazon. In the photo, the umbrella stands beautifully on a concrete stand. But the stand was not included in the kit, but was sold separately. The buyer ordered an umbrella, but did not receive a stand. He sued the company for deceit and won. The court noted that the stand is part of the goods. It cannot be classified as an accessory - because without it the umbrella will not stand. How not to get into a similar situation
2. When working with Google Analytics, you must definitely do Datenschutzanpassung - embed anonymization of the IP address, sign an agreement. Here are the main points
3. Impressum - an analogue of imprint in ordinary books. Who owns the site, who is responsible for the content, etc.
4. Datenschutzerklärung aka Privat Policy - everything is chewed from the use of Coockie, to an explanation of what data is stored and what is transmitted (there is a widget from fb - we write about it)
This is the most important must have. Fines for them up to 150k euros. It is obligatory to indicate real data in Imressum.
