2.3. Google Certification
In some cases, our tracking technology is used in Google Features such as Ad Words. To enable this, Google verified some of the tracking domains our clients use. They are listed below:
3. If you come in contact with our technology as an end user
Tracking technology of Ingenious Partner Management Platform | User of cookies
Under their contract with us, our customers use the tracking technology we have developed to create the connection between a click by you on an advertisement, (or the display of an advertisement (touch point) in your web browser) and an action by you (e.g. a purchase in the online shop or signing up to receive a newsletter). At every touch point, your browser sends an HTTP request to Ingenious server which transmits specific information. This information includes the URL of the website where the advertising is placed (referrer URL), the browser identification (user agent) of your end device (including data on the type of device and the operating system), the IP address of the end device (this IP address is anonymised by us prior to storage), HTTP header (data package with various technical data automatically transmitted by your browser), the time of the request and, if already stored on the end device, the cookie and its entire contents.
A cookie is a small piece of data exchanged between your browser and the server. In it, information relevant to the web application, e.g. the contents of a virtual shopping basket, can be stored and transmitted.
The tracking technology stores cookies on your end device in order to document actions. In the cookie, information on the most recent touch points is stored (i.e. when a specific piece of advertising was displayed or clicked on an end device). A cookie ID created by us is also stored in the cookie. Data on the touch points that have occurred and information on your actions are stored with this cookie ID. The touch points stored can, where appropriate, be assembled to form a user journey.
If there is an action-request, the order number and the shopping basket value of your order are usually also transmitted and stored by us. In addition, the following data may be transmitted and saved: your customer ID, new customer attribute, your age and gender and the information you have provided in a customer survey.
The information transmitted to us and the cookies serve the sole purpose of properly assessing the success of an advertisement and the corresponding invoice. This purpose is justified on the ground of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.
If you do not want cookies to be stored in your browser, you can prevent this by changing the corresponding browser settings. Under extras/internet options, you can deactivate the storing of cookies, restrict it to certain websites, or set your browser in such a way that it informs you every time a cookie is sent. However, you must be aware that in this case you will have to expect a limited presentation of the online services and limited user guidance. You can also delete cookies at any time. In this case, the information deposited there will be removed from your end device.
The collecting and processing of tracking data can also be deactivated by clicking on this tracking opt-out link:
When there is a click on the tracking opt-out link, a special cookie is written that deactivates tracking in the web browser currently in use on the end device. However, tracking will be reactivated if you delete the tracking opt-out cookie.
The following outline informs you which specific cookies are used by our tracking technology:
a. Domain: <Tracking domain of the customer>
Purpose: This cookie is written when an advertisement is displayed. This cookie contains a cookie ID and a list with information on the most recent view touch points, consisting of time, referrer URL and Admedia code (unique identification of the advertising containing information on distribution channels, publisher, publisher’s website and advertising).
b. Domain: <Tracking domain of the customer>
Purpose: This cookie is written when there is a click on an advertisement. This cookie includes a cookie ID and a list with information on the most recent click touch points, consisting of time, referrer URL, ID of the page in the customer’s shop system and Admedia code (unique identification of the advertising containing information on distribution channels, publisher, publisher’s website and advertising).
c. Domain: <Tracking domain of the customer>
Purpose: This cookie is written when there is a click on the opt-out link in order to deactivate tracking for the web browser currently being used on this end device.
III. Google Analytics, special add-ons
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (referred to below as “Google”)). In this connection, pseudonymised use profiles are created and cookies are used. The data on your use of this website created by the cookie such as
referrer URL (the page visited before ours),
are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google observes the data protection provisions of the “US-Privacy-Shield” and is registered with the “US Privacy Shield” programme of the US Department of Commerce. We have also concluded a data processing contract with Google for the use of Google Analytics. In this contract Google undertakes to process data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and to ensure that the rights of the persons concerned are protected.
The data is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide additional services connected with use of the website and the internet for the purposes of market research and design of these internet pages in conformity with user preferences.
The data may also be transferred to third parties where this is required by law or where third parties are contracted to process these data. In no case will your IP address be amalgamated with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymised; hence, assignment to a user is not possible (anonymizeIp).
You can prevent installation of the cookies by making a corresponding setting in your browser software. However, we advise you that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions on this website to the full extent.
You can also prevent recording of the data relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) that are created by the cookie, as well as the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing a Browser-Add-on.
As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially in the case of browsers on mobile end devices, you can also prevent data collection by Google Analytics by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie will be installed that prevents recording of your data on future visits to this website. The opt-out cookie only works in this browser and for our website and is saved on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will have to re-install the opt-out cookie.
You can find further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics at e.g. Google Analytics Help.
The tracking measures carried out by Google Analytics are conducted on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. Our aim is to ensure that the design of our website conforms to user preferences and to provide ongoing optimisation of the site. We also use Google Analytics to record statistics on the use of our website. In addition, we use the data to optimise the presentation of advertising content. These interests are legitimate in the meaning of the above-named regulation.
The tool Google Tag Manager of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (referred to below as “Google”)) is used on our website. We use Google Tag Manager to manage the tools on which we provide information in this privacy statement. Hence you are requested to read the information about the specific tools for more detail.
The Tag Manager tool itself (that implements the tags) is a cookieless domain. The tool causes the activation of other tags that in turn may record data. Google Tag Manager does not access these data. If a deactivation is carried out at the domain or cookie level, this applies to all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
You will find further information on Google Tag Manager in the guidelines for the use of this product.
In addition, we have concluded a data processing contract with Google for the use of Google Tag Manager. In this contract Google undertakes to process data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and to ensure that the rights of the persons concerned are protected.
