8.1 Use of cookies/usage profile
We use cookies (small text files with configuration information). Cookies are small text files that are sent to your browser from our web server when you visit our internet sites and are kept on your computer for subsequent retrieval. We only use session cookies (also known as temporary cookies), i.e. those that are only stored temporarily for the duration of your visit to our internet sites.
These cookies are used, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of our websites and to continue to identify your computer during a visit to our internet presence when you switch from one of our websites to another of our websites, and to be able to determine the end of your visit. This lets us know which area of our websites and which other websites our users have visited. This usage data does not allow any indication of the user's identity. None of the anonymised usage data collected is merged with your personal data and all data is immediately deleted at the end of the statistical evaluation. The cookies are deleted at the end of the session as soon as you close your browser.
Most browsers are pre-configured to automatically accept cookies. However, you can deactivate the saving of cookies or configure your browser to notify you before cookies are stored. Users who do not accept cookies may not be able to access certain areas of our websites or only some of them.
The legal basis for the processing of the following data-processing operations is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in presenting a website to you that stores your personal settings and makes it easier for you to visit our website. To do so, it is important for us to find out how we can optimise our website by using different cookies.
8.3. Configuration of browser settings
Most browsers are pre-configured to accept cookies by default. However, you can configure your browser so that it only accepts certain cookies or even none at all. You can also delete the cookies that are already in your browser through your browser settings. Furthermore, you can set your browser to notify you before cookies are stored. As different browsers can vary in how they function, please use the help menu in your browser to determine configuration options.
If you would like to have a comprehensive overview of all third-party access on your internet browser, we recommend that you install a plug-in that has been specifically developed for that purpose.
8.4. Tracking and analysis tools
We use tracking and analysis tools to ensure the continuous optimisation and appropriate design of our website. By using tracking measures, we are also able to statistically record visitor use of our website and therefore continue developing our online offer for you based on the subsequent findings. Based on these interests, the use of the tracking and analysis tools described below is justified under Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR. The respective processing purposes and processed data can also be taken from the following description of tracking and analysis tools.
8.4.1 Econda site monitor
Solutions and technologies from econda GmbH, Zimmerstrasse 6, 76137 Karlsruhe, Germany, are used for demand-oriented configuration and to optimise this website by entering and saving anonymised data from which usage profiles are created through the use of pseudonyms. Cookies may be used for this purpose to enable an internet browser to be recognised. User profiles are not merged with personal data pertaining to the bearer of the pseudonym unless agreed to expressly by the visitor. IP addresses in particular are made unreadable immediately upon entry, so that the matching up of user profiles to IP addresses is not possible.
You can revoke the future collection and saving of your data at any time. To do so, click on this link: http://www.econda.de/econda/unternehmen/datenschutz/widerspruchscookie/ An opt-out cookie will then be stored on your end device. You must click on the link again if you delete your cookies.
We use Google Ads technology, specifically conversion tracking. Google conversion tracking is an analysis service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, US. If you click on an ad activated by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your PC. The cookies are valid for 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website before the cookie has expired, we and Google can recognise that you have clicked on a specific ad and were forwarded to this page. We receive a different cookie every time. It is therefore not possible to track cookies through our website.
The data collected with conversion cookies is used to compile conversion statistics for us using conversion tracking. In this process, we learn about the number of users who have clicked on our ad and were then forwarded to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can identify users personally.
If you do not wish to take part in conversion tracking, you can prevent this by changing a corresponding setting in your browser so as to generally prevent the installation of cookies, for example. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to only block cookies from the “googleadservices.com” web address.
Our website uses the Facebook pixel offered by Facebook Inc. 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, US (“Facebook”). This enables us to track the behaviour of users after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. This process is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help optimise advertising measures.
The data collected is anonymous to us, therefore we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of users. Nevertheless, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection can be made with the respective user profile and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in line with Facebook's data usage policy. You can allow Facebook and its partners to activate ads on and outside Facebook. A cookie can also be stored on your computer for this purpose. If you object to the use of cookies on your computer, you can set your internet browser so that in future, no more cookies can be stored on your computer and any already stored there are deleted. However, switching off all cookies may mean that some functions on our website can no longer be carried out.
You can find out more about the protection of your data in Facebook's data privacy notice at: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
You can also deactivate the Custom Audiences remarketing function under settings for advertising at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. To do so, you must be logged onto Facebook.
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
In case IP-anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated within the area of Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases the whole IP address will be first transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The IP-anonymisation is active on this website. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing them other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
