Cookies are data records that are sent by the web server or servers belonging to third parties to the user’s web browser and stored there for later retrieval. Cookies can be small files or other types of information storage. We usually use “session cookies” which are only stored for the duration of the current visit to our online presence (for example, to enable the storage of your login status and thus the use of our online offer in general). In a session cookie, a randomly generated unique identification number is stored, a so-called session ID. In addition, a cookie contains information about its origin and the retention period. These cookies cannot save any other data. Session cookies will be deleted once you have finished using our online offer and have for example logged out or closed the browser.

This offer uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files, that are stored on users’ computers and which allow an analysis of the use of the website through them. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by the users is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
However, in the case of the activation of IP anonymization on this website, the IP address of the users of Google will be abridged within Member States of the European Union or in other Member States of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the US and abbreviated there. IP anonymization is active on this website. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website by the users to compile reports on the website activities and to provide other services related to the website usage and the internet usage for the website operator.
The IP address provided by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. The users can prevent the storage of the cookies by a corresponding setting of their browser software. However, this offer advises users that in this case, you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website. In addition, users may prevent Google’s processing of the data (including your IP address) generated by the cookie and the use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economically efficient operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. GDPR) we use the marketing and remarketing services (“Google Marketing Services “) of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, (” Google “).
Google Marketing Services allows us to better target advertisements for and on our website so that we only present ads to users that potentially match their interests. If a user e.g. is shown ads for products he’s been interested in on other websites this is called remarketing. For these purposes, when our and other websites using Google Marketing Services are directly accessed, a Google code will be executed by Google and so-called (re) marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also called “Web Beacons “) are incorporated into the website. Through these, the user is assigned an individual cookie, i. e. a small file is saved (instead of cookies, comparable technologies can also be used). The cookies can be set by different domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. In this file it is logged which web pages the user visited, for what content he showed interest and what offers he clicked, as well as technical information about the browser and operating system, referring web pages, visit time and other information on the use of an online offer. The IP address of the users is also recorded, whereby in the context of Google Analytics we declare that the IP address is truncated within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases is it transmitted to a Google server in the US and truncated there. The IP address will not be merged with data of the user within other offers from Google. The above information may also be linked by Google with such information from other sources. If the user then visits other websites, they can display, the ads tailored to him according to his interests.
The data of the users are processed pseudonymously in the context of the Google marketing services. That means Google stores and processes e.g. not the name or e-mail address of the users, but processes the relevant data cookie-related within the pseudonymous user profiles. That means from the perspective of Google, that the ads are not managed and displayed to a specifically identified person, but to the cookie owner, regardless of who that cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has explicitly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected about users through Google Marketing Services is transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers in the United States of America.
As part of the Google marketing services we use, is, among others, the online advertising program “Google AdWords”. In the case of Google AdWords, each advertiser receives a different “conversion cookie”. Cookies cannot be tracked through AdWords advertisers’ websites. The information collected through the cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Advertisers will see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not receive information that enables personally identifying users.
Also, we may use the service “Google Optimizer”. Google Optimizer allows us to understand how various changes to a website (such as changes to the input fields, the design, etc.) effect the use of the website in so-called “A / B testings”. Cookies are stored on users’ devices for these purposes. Only pseudonymous data of the users are processed.
Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and efficient operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f. GDPR) we use social plugins (“plugins”) of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The plugins can represent interaction elements or content (e.g. videos, graphics or text contributions) and can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on blue tile, the terms “Like”, “Like” or a “thumbs up” sign) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. The list and appearance of Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee of compliance with European privacy legislation (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).
When a user accesses a feature of this online offering that includes such a plugin, their device establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to the device of the user and incorporated by it into the online offer. In this context, user profiles can be created from the processed data. For that reason we have no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore inform users according to our level of knowledge.
By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the online offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example, press the Like button or leave a comment, the information is transmitted from your device directly to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out and save their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.
If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about him via this online offer and link it to his member data stored on Facebook, he must log out of Facebook and delete his cookies before using our online offer. Other settings and inconsistencies regarding the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or via the US-American site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU page http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ . The settings are platform independent, i.e. they are adopted for all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
When a user accesses one of our pages containing such a function, his browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective provider. We have no influence on the extent of the data collected by the respective provider with this function.
Through the integration of the function, the provider receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of our website. If the user is logged in to the provider (i.e., for example to Facebook), the provider can assign the visit to the respective account of the user. When users interact with the functions / plugins, for example, by clicking the Like or Recommendation button or share content via the corresponding function, this is transmitted directly from your browser to the provider and stored there. If a user is not a member of the respective provider, there is still the possibility that the provider can find and store his IP address. If a user is a member of the respective provider and does not want the provider to collect data about him via our website and link it with his member data stored at the provider, he must log out from such provider prior to visiting our website.
Within our online offer functions of the service Twitter may be integrated. These features are available through Twitter Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. By using Twitter and the “Re-Tweet” feature, the web pages you visit will be linked to your Twitter account and shared with other users. This data is also transmitted to Twitter. We point out that we as the provider of the pages are not aware of the content of the transmitted data and their use by Twitter. You can find the Privacy Statement from Twitter at http://twitter.com/privacy. You can change your privacy settings on Twitter in the Account Settings at http://twitter.com/account/settings.
If our customers use the payment services of third parties (for example, PayPal or Sofortüberweisung), the terms and conditions and the privacy notices of the respective third party providers, which are retrievable on the respective websites, or transactional applications, apply.
Users have the right, upon request, to obtain without charge, information about the personal data that we have stored about them.
In addition, users have the right to correct inaccurate data, limit the processing of data and require the deletion of their personal data, if applicable, to assert their rights to data portability and, in the event of assumed unlawful processing, to file a complaint with the appropriate regulatory authority.
Likewise, users can revoke consent with effect for the future.
The data stored with us are deleted by us as soon as they are no longer necessary for their purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory storage requirements. In the event that the users’ data are not deleted because their retention is legally required, their processing will be restricted. That means the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, for data of users which must be retained due to commercial law or tax law requirements.
According to legal requirements such storage takes place for 6 years according to § 257 Abs. 1 HGB (trading books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual accounts, trade letters, accounting documents, etc.) as well as for 10 years according to § 147 Abs. 1 AO (books, records, management reports, accounting documents, commercial and business letters, documents relevant for taxation, etc.). HGB = German Commercial Code; AO = German General Tax Code.
Users may object to the processing of their personal data in accordance with legal provisions at any time. Such objection may in particular be made against processing for direct marketing purposes.
In order to give you access to the Adpressi site as a publisher and to use our services as a website operator or advertiser, we can request information about your company and its organs. If and to the extent Adpressi is responsible for the transfer of personal data, Adpressi respects the purpose of the applicable data protection laws. We may request personal data for the purpose of invoicing and advertising and in order to implement your monthly online advertising campaign or to market one or more websites. This data will only be collected if you have explicitly consented to it, participated in it and received sufficient information.
