We use these to evaluate your user behavior. For this, the data mentioned in the section "Areas of the AVL DiTEST Website" and the following information are linked to your e-mail address and an individual ID: (i) email delivered or not; (ii) email opened or not; (iii) timestamps; (iv) links clicked; (v) content viewed.

Cookies help to improve your experience with our website by helping you resume where you left off, remembering your login, your preferences, and or providing you with various tailored functions, such as showing you content targeted to your interests. We use information derived from cookies to improve the navigation structure of the AVL DiTEST websites and optimize their user-friendliness (legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). A large part of the AVL DiTEST websites may also be viewed without cookies.
To constantly improve and optimize our AVL DiTEST product and service offerings, we are using web tracking technologies. For this we are using Google Analytics, a Web analytics tool offered by Google Inc. ("Google", www.google.com) that provides statistics and tracks web traffic.
Google Analytics requires the placing of "cookies" on the device from which you access the web pages. These cookies enable us to analyze the use of our web pages by you. In addition, for the purpose of identifying trends and improving our online offer, usage data such as the page last visited, the browser used, date, time, etc. are being evaluated. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the web pages are usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-USFramework.
AVL DiTEST uses Google's services by enabling the IP anonymization feature. This leads to Google storing the user's IP address only in a shortened format, resulting in anonymization / masking. The anonymization or masking of the IP takes place after the IP addresses arrive in the Google Analytics data collection network, but before any storage or processing of the data takes place. For more information, see: IP Anonymization in Google Analytics.
On behalf of AVL DiTEST, Google will use the information obtained from cookies to evaluate the use of the web pages by you, to compile reports on web page activity and to provide other services related to web page activity and internet usage to AVL DiTEST. This is our legitimate interest in data processing. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
In addition, data submitted to Google via the Google Analytics service is linked by Google with third-party cookies associated with visits to other websites, such as when an advertiser uses their Google Analytics data to create more relevant ads, or would like to more accurately analyze their traffic. More about this can be found under the explanatory page about Google Analyticsprovided by Google.
You may prevent the cookie generated information (including your IP address) from being collected, transmitted to Google and processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link (effective only for the device on which you install the browser plug-in): http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout(not for mobile devices).
