The European Commission offers an Online Dispute Resolution (‘ODR’) platform on webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr.
Information according to § 36 Consumer Dispute Resolution Act upday GmbH & Co KG does at the moment not take part in a voluntary dispute resolution before a German arbitration body. There is no legal obligation to do so.
The functions of our application; Scope of these terms of use
With upday we offer an application which aggregates news contents from the internet for you in several ways (hereinafter the “App”). The goal of our App is to aggregate those articles for you, which best correspond to your interests content-wise:
The selection of the content to be aggregated is mainly based on topic preferences actively set by you as well as, in this context, on your use of the App. If, for example, you are interested in the topic of “sports”, you will be able to select this topic in order to later receive articles regarding this topic in aggregated form. If specific, content-related centres of interest can be derived from your use of the App in the course of time, for example, if you particularly read a great deal of articles regarding the topic “science”, the App will automatically aggregate an increased number of articles for you regarding this topic.
Aside from the determined or derived preferences described above, the App also offers you an aggregation of news content which is of general relevance (current events or the like).
Furthermore, we will aggregate specific articles for you, which we ourselves have selected. All aggregated articles will be presented with a headline, a short summary as well as with a possible selection of images. If you click on one of these representations the article will be shown to you in full and in unchanged form in the app, however, this article will be delivered directly from the source website. For this purpose the App has a browser function, which shows the web content of the provider of the article.
We reserve the right to change, modify, substitute or remove without notice any information on the App from time to time.
The legal provisions for the download of the App or the activation of the preinstalled service on the “Zero-page” homescreen (hereinafter “Download" and "Activation” respectively) of the app, its use and the services of the App, especially the aggregation of articles, can be derived from these terms of use as well as from the privacy statement of the App. As a precautionary measure we would like to clarify in this context that the App and the services connected to the App and provided by the App are exclusively provided by upday GmbH & Co. KG. This means that, for example, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. as manufacturer of your terminal device is not the provider. Thus (as a non-exhaustive example), Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. would not be lawfully responsible for the App, especially not for the collection and processing of data (including any data transmissions to third parties), which lie within the control and responsibility of upday GmbH & Co. KG. Accordingly, the manufacturer of your terminal device cannot be made liable for the Download of the App, its use and the services of the App, nor for the collection, processing and transmission of data, which is carried out by upday GmbH & Co. KG.
In order to be able to use the App to the full extent, certain technical minimum requirements must be met:
You will need an internet connection for the terminal device in question for the Download of the App via an app-store, your installation, Activation and later use of the App.
A key requirement for the proper use of the App is that the terminal device which is used, is compatible with the system requirements, and that the terminal device has the compatible version of the operating system intended for the App. The technical framework conditions for the use of the App, including the storage space required for the Download/Activation, must comply with the requirements referred to in the download area or by the provider of the operating system of your terminal device. We recommend using the current versions of the necessary software. Regular updates of your mobile device may be necessary.
When retrieving data via the internet, which takes place when using our App, additional connection costs may arise for you depending on your mobile contract. Such costs depend on the respective provisions of the contract with your mobile provider.
In consideration of you agreeing to abide by these terms of use, we grant you the right to install the computer programme underlying the App, with which the App was downloaded, onto your terminal device, to activate and to use it on your terminal device as well as to establish the copies of the computer programme necessary for this purpose. These rights are not sublicensable and not transferable. Further or extensive rights of use to the computer programme are not granted.
The use of the App is exclusively permitted for your own private and non-commercial purposes. For contents which are not aggregated, but editorially prepared by us, we will grant you the non-exclusive right to retrieve these contents in the App and to generate the copies necessary for this purpose on the terminal device used by you. Further or extensive rights of use to these contents are not granted. Thus, it is specifically not permitted to generate further copies of the contents, which have been editorially prepared by us, to process or rearrange them, to publish or exploit the result, to pass them on to third parties or to otherwise distribute them, to make them publically accessible or to send them to third parties.
The App also contains components, which are licensed by third parties under open source licenses. A list of these components, the relevant open source licenses as well as the license texts and other necessary information can be found here.
You acknowledge that all intellectual property rights in the App and the accompanying documents anywhere in the world belong to us or our licensors, that rights in the App are licensed (not sold) to you, and that you have no rights in, or to, the App or the documents other than the right to use each of them in accordance with these terms of use.
You acknowledge that you have no right to have access to the App in source-code form. Upday is our registered trade mark. Other product and company names mentioned on the App may be the trademarks or registered trade marks of their respective owners.
You agree that in using the App you will not: - use the App for any unlawful purpose; - use the App in any way that interrupts, damages, impairs or renders the App less efficient; - transfer files that contain viruses, trojans or other harmful programs; - access or attempt to access the accounts of other users or to penetrate or attempt to penetrate the App security measures; and/or - use the App in such a way that adversely affects our name, reputation or goodwill.
We reserve the right to suspend, restrict or terminate your access to the App at any time without notice if we have reasonable grounds to believe you have breached any of the restrictions or obligations contained in these terms of use. This shall not limit our right to take any other action against you that we consider appropriate to defend our rights or those of any other person.
If we take legal action against you for any breach of these terms of use and a court makes an award in our favour you will be responsible for all costs allowable by the Courts.
We use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the data on the App is accurate and to correct any errors or omissions as soon as practicable after being notified of them. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties and representations (whether express or implied) as to the accuracy of any information contained on the App. We do not guarantee that the App will be fault free and do not accept liability for any errors or omissions.
Due to the nature of electronic transmission of data over the internet, and the number of users by whom data is posted on to the App, any liability we may have for any losses or claims arising from an inability to access the App, or from any use of the App or reliance on the data transmitted using the App, is excluded to the fullest extent permissible by law.
Nothing in these terms and conditions shall limit our liability for: (i) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (ii) our fraud or wilful default; and (iii) any other liability which cannot by law be limited or excluded. In no event shall we be liable for any indirect loss, consequential loss, loss of profit, data, revenue, business opportunity, anticipated savings, goodwill or reputation whether in contract, tort or otherwise arising out of or in connection with this agreement or use of the App save where such liability cannot be excluded by law.
Third Party Links in the App
Where the App contains links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your information only. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the contents of those sites or resources.
All information pertaining to cookies and the collection, processing and use of personal data or in connection with the App can be found in the privacy statement of the App.
For the contractual relationship regarding the use of the App, including these terms of use, the law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply under exclusion of the UN Sales Convention (CISG) and the German and European International Private Law. If you as a consumer have concluded the contract, the mandatory consumer protection provisions shall also apply, which are applicable in the country of your habitual residence. You and we both agree that the court of Berlin, Germany will have exclusive jurisdiction. upday GmbH & Co KG does at the moment not take part in a voluntary dispute resolution before a German arbitration body. There is no legal obligation to do so.
Should individual provisions of these terms of use, including this provision, be completely or partially ineffective, the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or parts of such provisions shall remain unaffected. In place of the ineffective or missing provisions the respective legal provisions shall apply.
You hereby acknowledge and agree that the application that is included herein, and any service and content provided to you through such application, are being provided to you by Symphony Media GmbH & Co. KG (“Symphony”) and not by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”). You further acknowledge and agree that your download, installation and use of any such application, service and content are governed by Symphony's terms of use, license agreement, privacy policy, or other such agreements and that any information and personal data you provide to such third party service providers' will be subject to such third party service providers' privacy policy. to the extent permitted under applicable laws, Samsung is not responsible for any privacy or any other practices of such third party service providers', and expressly disclaims any liability in connection with any such applications, services, contents or your use thereof.

Several parts of upday are also referred to as “online services”. This also applies when we mention the website or, as the case may be, the app. Our services are intended for the general public and not for children.

As soon as you use upday, our system will automatically collect information from your computer system. The data which may be collected during this process is, among others: - Information on the browser type and version - The operation system used - Mobile device ID - Date and time of access - Web analytics data / pseudonym user profile (Cookie ID, Ad ID etc.) - Websites that brought the user to our website - Websites visited by the user from our website
In addition, we process the following personal data in case a contractual relationship between you and us exists, or when you have otherwise forwarded the data to us: - Login information with password
4. Legitimate Basis and Processing Purposes
We process your data exclusively on the basis of one or more of the applicable legal regulations. Pursuant to GDPR, personal data can be processed on the basis of a contract or on the implementation of pre-contractual measures—subject to compliance—on the basis of legitimate interests or a law, and for the protection of essential or public interests. Registration is required in order for us to provide certain content or services on our website. Every user can register themselves for free at upday by specifying their first name, last name, email address, and a password, after which your registration data is sent to us. The collection and processing of this data is carried out in line with the licence agreement between us and the user, Art. 6, § 1 b GDPR. We’ll also use the email address we collected in the course of your registration or in the context of contract management, to inform you about similar products or services as well as previously existing subscriptions or general information on upday. In this case, email address processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests in requests for our products and services (Art. 6, § 1 f GDPR). In addition, we use your email address to send you our newsletter, if you’ve clearly indicated your agreement to receiving newsletter content or, as the case may be, publicity. To this effect we process your email address in order to send you the newsletter, as requested (Art. 6, § 1 f GDPR). You can always object, either in writing or per email, to the usage of your email address for such purposes taking effect in the future: 65, Axel-Springer-Str., Berlin, 10888, privacy@upday.com. No costs will be charged other than the transmission costs according to the base rate. On the Internet, every device needs to have a clear address for the transferral of data. This is called the IP address. Preliminary storage of the IP address is technically required in order to transfer the website to the computer of the user. In doing so, we abridge IP addresses before processing, thus, any later processing will take place anonymised. Any further storage or processing related to the unabridged IP addresses will not take effect. In addition, our servers save your IP address for 14 days for the purpose of your safety. During processing operations, which are determined by one or several of the previously mentioned legislative bases, processing will take place when it’s necessary for the purpose of preserving legitimate interests, unless these legitimate interests are overridden on the basis of a comprehensive weighing of your interests, and your fundamental rights and freedoms (Art. 6, § 1 f GDPR). A legitimate interest can be assumed when the person concerned is a customer of the controller. The processing of personal data and our legitimate interest therein and, in particular, the execution of our business operations, shall be in favour of the welfare of our employees and our shareholders. Our legitimate interest in offering you custom products, informing you on our products, improvements, and quality features, as well as continuing to improve our services and products, through which we’re also able to increase our sales, is the legal basis for the purpose of Big Data processing, online behavioural advertising, web/app analysis, and advertisement ranking (gathering different selection criteria for suitable advertising). For more detail on web analytics services see section 8. You can object to data processing on the basis of legitimate interests at any time (see section 12). In case the data is processed for any other purpose than as determined by data collection, a compatibility assessment will be carried out (see Art. 6, § 4 GDPR). Subsequent processing is only permitted if the original purpose is compatible with the new purpose, or when allowed by reason of a special legal basis. Recognised compatible purposes are, among others, enforcement, exercising or defence of claims subject to civil law, insofar as no overriding interest of the person concerned exists. We will inform you in case of a change in purpose. A new data collection will take place on the grounds of a new legal basis if the new purpose is incompatible with the purpose as determined by data collection. We will inform you on the change in purpose, should this be the case.
5. Data Processing Location
We will not transfer your personal data to countries outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) except when, in certain cases, it is permitted by the GDPR. Whether or not third parties with whom you have a contractual relationship (e.g. Facebook, if you have a Facebook account) transfer data to countries outside of the European Economic Area is not something we have any knowledge of, nor something we’re able to influence. We also process data in countries outside of the European Economic Area. To guarantee the protection of your personal rights, also in the context of these particular data transfers, we make sure to handle the contractual relationships with recipients in third party countries in compliance with the arrangement of standard contract clauses of the EU commission, corresponding to Art. 46 § 2 C, GDPR. These are available at all times via the following link: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:31995L0046. Alternatively, you can request the documents using the contact information below. With the launch of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield on 12/07/2016, the European Commission decided that, in view of these regulations, an appropriate level of personal data protection exists (adequacy decision, Art. 45, GDPR). Further information—also on certification of the service provider we deployed—you can find on https://www.privacyshield.gov. We only use US service providers who are certified according to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield.
In certain cases we also collect data because you provided your consent in the transferral of the data to us. As you will know, apps are provided for download on third party websites on a regular basis (such as iTunes, Google, etc.). When, according to the applicable terms of use, one of those upday GmbH & Co. KG providers becomes your contractual partner for the acquisition of the app, we will process the data allocated to us by the third party provider, the volume of which will be determined by the contractual agreement, so that you can download the app to your mobile end device.
References for the use of the apps Our app makes use of the following authorisations, with the purposes listed behind it, so that it can obtain access to certain features of your mobile end device: • Location – We process information about your location, including location information based on IP address, and if activated on your mobile device, by use of Global Positioning System (GPS). You can switch off the GPS functionality on your mobile device, if you do not wish to share your GPS location with upday. We require access to your location in order to display regional news and provide you with location-based services, such as advertising and other personalized content. Facebook Connect You can login to upday via a Facebook account. Facebook Connect is offered by Facebook Ireland Limited, 5-7 Hanover Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland. The usage of Facebook Connect underlies the data protection stipulations and terms of use, as defined by Facebook. When you decide to register through your Facebook account, you will first be directed to Facebook. Once there, Facebook will ask you to login or to register with Facebook. The request to login will be skipped if you are already logged in to Facebook. Please note that we do not receive any login information during these steps. When registering through Facebook Connect, your Facebook profile data and the “public information” as defined by Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation) from your profile will be transferred to us. This regards data which you have made available to the public or which you have unblocked for the respective application. “Public” in the context of Facebook, means that anybody can see this data, also outside of Facebook. This includes your name, your profile and cover picture, your gender, networks, username (Facebook URL) and user identification number (Facebook ID). Vice versa, we may also transfer data to your Facebook profile. When you register with us through Facebook Connect, we will collect and process the data transferred to us for the purpose of your registration.
7. Transferring Your Data to Third Parties
We only transfer your personal data to third parties when this transfer is required in order to fulfil our contractual obligations to you, and when this takes place with or in collaboration with another provider (e.g. in case of co-operations), when we are otherwise legally entitled or required to transfer your data, or when you have given us your consent. In order to provide our services, certain departments within our organisation can be informed of selected pieces of personal data. This includes employees working in bookkeeping, product management, marketing, and IT. In certain cases we also commission and deploy external service providers or connected companies in order to process data as instructed by us. We employ service providers for the purpose of processing. They are bound by strict contractual stipulations which are in compliance with the GDPR. They are not permitted to use your data for any other purposes. The processors provide the following services to us: registration service(s), content recommendation, hosting, customer service, survey and commentary service(s), maintenance and support service(s), and web/app analysis. The data transferral to processors takes place in accordance with Art. 28, § 1 GDPR, and alternatively on the basis of our legitimate interests in economic and technical gain with the deployment of specialised contractual processors, Art. 6 § 1 f GDPR. We will transfer data to public authorities provided that we’re obliged by law or when this is allowed for reasons of data protection, for instance the police or the department of public prosecution (Art. 6, § 1 c GDPR). This data transferral is for the purpose of our legitimate interests in fighting abuse, the prosecution of criminal offence, and the protection, enforcement, and execution of claims, as long as these are not overridden by your interest in, and fundamental right to, protection of your personal data, Art. 6 § 1 f GDPR.

8. Web/App Analysis Services
We deploy services which collect and interpret data for us from the website and the app in order to continuously improve and update our content in line with users’ interests, in addition to displaying behavioural online advertising. In case these service providers aren’t data controllers themselves, as defined by data protection regulations, they will always process the pseudonymised user data as bound by instructions based on a contractual processing agreement. You can deactivate future individual analysis services at any time. Below you can learn in more detail about the analysis services deployed by us:
AppNexus We use AppNexus to help us display behavioural advertising. AppNexus is an advertising service provider and a mediation platform operator (AppNexus, 28 W. 23rd Street, New York, New York, 10010, USA). AppNexus collects and stores information about your activity, which enables the analysis of your user behaviour. These profiles are used to display advertising which specifically reflects your interests. Should you not want this, you may deactivate behavioural advertising here: https://www.appnexus.com/en/company/platform-privacy-policy.

Crashlytics Crashlytics is an analysis tool which is offered and run by Crashlytics Inc., based in Cambridge MA, USA. Crashlytics produces so-called crash reports. Crash reports outline operational dysfunctions or malfunctions of the app, they outline when and in what context the malfunctions occurred, how many users were affected, etc. We use these reports to learn about operational dysfunctions or malfunctions and in order to, in the interest of our users, react in a faster, more goal orientated and efficient manner, and to technically improve the app. For this purpose, Crashlytics, in conjunction with your upday app ID—which you can remove at any time—, records data in relation to the crash and general data on the IT environment (in particular the end device used, the mobile network operator, and the operating system). Any personal or pseudonymous data will be deleted by Crahslytics after no more than seven days. This information tells Crashlytics, and subsequently us, if and how the app functions and is used, including, in particular, any operational dysfunctions or malfunctions. More information on the privacy policy applied by Crashlytics is available here: https://try.crashlytics.com/terms/privacy-policy.pdf.
Google AdSense We integrated Google AdSense on this website. Google Adsense is an online service which enables us to advertise on third party websites. Google Adsense is based on algorithms that select advertisements displayed on third party websites which are suited to the respective websites’ content. Google AdSense allows interest-based targeting of the internet user, which is converted by generating individual user profiles. The operating company of Google AdSense component is Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The goal of the Google AdSense component is the integration of advertisements on our website. Google AdSense places a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. Through placing cookies, Alphabet Inc. is able to analyse our website usage. Each time one of the pages of our website into which a Google AdSense component is incorporated, is accessed, the internet browser on the IT system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component, to transfer data to Alphabet Inc for the purpose of online advertising and to calculate the respective commission fees. In the context of this technical procedure, Alphabet Inc. acquires knowledge on personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which enables Alphabet Inc. to trace the origin and the clicks of the visitor, and subsequently calculate the according commission fees. The person concerned can, at any time, permanently prohibit the placement of cookies by our website, as explained above, by adjusting internet browser settings. In addition, the adjusted internet browser settings would also prohibit Alphabet Inc. to place a cookie on the IT system of the person concerned. Furthermore, any cookies which were previously placed by Alphabet Inc. can, at any time, be deleted via the internet browser or other software programmes. Google AdSense uses so-called web beacons. A web beacon is a miniature graphic image which is incorporated into a website to enable the creation of a log file record and a log file analysis, which in turn serves to conduct statistical analysis. Alphabet Inc. can, by means of the incorporated web beacon, record if and when a website has been accessed by a person concerned and which links the person concerned clicked on. Web beacons help to, among other things, determine the visitor flow of a website. Via Google AdSense, personal data and information including the IP address, which is necessary to select the displayed advertisement and determine the according commission fees, are transferred to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. The personal data are stored and processed in the United States of America. Under certain circumstances, Alphabet Inc. will transfer the personal data, which was collected by means of the described technical procedures, to third parties. Google AdSense is explained in more detail here: https://www.google.co.uk/intl/de/adsense/start/.
Google AdWords We integrated AdWords into this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service which allows advertisers to include ads in Google search engine results as well as in Google advertising networks. Google AdWords enables advertisers to determine certain keywords in advance, by means of which an ad in the Google search engine results will be shown in case the user’s search results are relevant in relation to these keywords. In the Google advertising network, ads are distributed across websites with relevant subjects by an automated algorithm and in consideration of the previously determined keywords. The operating company of Google AdWords is Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The goal of Google Adwords is to publicise our website through placing interest-based advertising on the websites of third parties and in Google search engine results, in addition to placing third party ads on our website. Google will place a so-called Conversion Cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned, should the person concerned have accessed our website via a Google ad. A conversion cookie will lose its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the person concerned. By means of the conversion cookie, provided that the cookie is still valid, it will be determined if any subpages or, for example, the shopping basket of an online shop system on our website, have been accessed. The conversion cookie helps us, and Google, to determine if a person concerned that ended up on our website via an AdWords ad, has generated sales in terms of completing or cancelling the purchase of product(s). The data and information collected through the application of a conversion cookie is used by Google to create visitor statistics for our website. These visitor statistics are in turn used by us, to determine the total number of users which were brought to us via AdWords ads. That is to say, to determine the success or the failure of the respective AdWords ads and to optimise our future AdWords ads. Neither our company nor any other Google AdWords clients receive information from Google which can be used to identify the person concerned. Personal information is stored by means of the conversion cookie, for instance the websites visited by the person concerned. Personal data, which includes the IP address and the internet connection used by the person concerned, is stored during each visit to our website and transferred to Google in the United States of America. Google in the United States of America stores this personal data. Under certain circumstances Google will transfer the personal data collected by means of the described technical procedures, to third parties. The person concerned can, at any time, permanently prohibit the placement of cookies by our website, as explained above, by adjusting the internet browser settings. In addition, the adjusted internet browser settings would also prohibit Google to place a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. Furthermore, any cookies which were previously placed by Google AdWords can, at any time, be deleted via the internet browser or other software programmes. Furthermore, the person concerned can object to the interest-based advertising placed by Google. In order to do this, the person concerned must access the following page: https://adssettings.google.co.uk , in each internet browser used and implement the desired adjustments. Please go to the following page for further information and to read about the data protection policies applied by Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl
Google Analytics We have integrated Google Analytics (with the anonymisation feature) on this website. Google Analytics is a Web Analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, storing, and analysation of behavioural data of visitors to our website. A web analysation service determines, among other things, which website brought a person concerned to the current website (the so-called referrer), which subpages have been accessed on the website, or how often and for how long a subpage was visited. Web analysis is predominantly used to optimise a website and for a cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising. The operating company of Google Analytics Component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. We use the extension “_gat._anonymizeIp”, for web analysis via Google Analytics. With the use of this extension, Google abridges and anonymises the IP address of the person concerned´s internet connection when our website is accessed from a Member State of the European Union or another contractual state within the European Economic Area. The goal of the Google Analytics component is the analysis of the visitor flow on our website. Google uses the acquired data and information to evaluate the usage of our website, among other things, and to create online reports which illustrate the activity on our websites, and to fulfil other services connected to our website. Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. Cookies have already been explained above. The placement of cookies allows Google to analyse the usage of our website. Each time one of the pages of our website, into which a Google Analytics component is incorporated, is accessed, the internet browser on the IT system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component, to transfer data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. In the context of this technical procedure, Google acquires knowledge on personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, through which Google can trace the origin and the clicks of the visitor, and subsequently calculate the according commission fees. Cookies store personal data, for instance the time and the place of access, and the amount of visits to our website by the person concerned. For each visit to our website, the respective personal data, which includes the IP address and the internet connection used by the person concerned, is transferred to Google in the United States of America.

Google DoubleClick We integrated components of Google DoubleClick into this website. DoubleClick is a brand of Google which predominantly markets special online marketing solutions to advertising agencies and publishing houses. The operating company of Google DoubleClick is Google Inc., Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. Each time the website is accessed, and also for clicks and other activities, Google DoubleClick transfers data to the DoubleClick server. Each data transferral prompts a cookie request for the browser of the person concerned. When the browser accepts the request, DoubleClick will place a cookie on the IT system of the person concerned. Cookies have already been explained above. The goal of cookies is to optimize and implement advertising. The cookie is used, among other things, to place and display advertisements as well as to create or improve advertising campaigns. In addition, the cookie helps to avoid multiple placements of the same advertising. DoubleClick uses a cookie ID, which is necessary to carry out technical procedures. The cookie ID is used, for instance, to display an advertisement in a browser. The cookie also helps DoubleClick to determine which advertisements have already been implemented into a browser, this in turn prevents repetition of the advertisement. Moreover, the cookie enables DoubleClick to create conversions. A conversion has taken place when a user clicks on a DoubleClick advertisement and subsequently, in the same browser, completes a purchase on the website of the advertiser. A DoubleClick cookie does not collect personal data. A DoubleClick cookie can, however, collect additional campaign identification. Campaign identification refers to the identification of a campaign with which the user has previously been connected. Each time one of the pages of our website into which a DoubleClick component has been incorporated, is accessed, the internet browser on the IT system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective DoubleClick component, to transfer data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and to calculate the respective commission fees. By means of this technical procedure, Google acquires knowledge on data through which Google can calculate the according commission fees. Google can retrace, among other things, when the person concerned clicked on certain links on our website. The person concerned can, at any time, permanently prohibit the placement of cookies by our website, as explained above, by adjusting the internet browser settings. In addition, the adjusted internet browser settings would also prohibit Google to place a cookie on the IT system of the person concerned. Furthermore, any cookies which were previously placed by Google can, at any time, be deleted via the internet browser or other software programmes.

Embedding refers to the implementation or integration of certain third party content, for instance text, video or image data, which has been provided by an external website and subsequently appears on one’s own website. For this procedure, a so-called embed code is used. An embed-code is HMTL code which has been integrated by the website operator into a website. By default, if a website operator integrated an embed code, the external content of the other website will be displayed as soon as a website is visited. In order to display the third party content, the external content is loaded directly from the other website. Getty Images provides more information on content embedding here: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/resources/embed.
