Cookies (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, f EU-GDPR) Our website uses so-called cookies in several places. They serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and safer. Cookies are small text files that are stored and saved on your end device. Due to our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-GDPR) we set technically necessary cookies, which are necessary for the operation of the website and to ensure its functionality. In addition, with your consent, we also set further cookies. These cookies enable us to analyse how users use our websites. This enables us to design the website content according to the needs of our visitors. Cookies also enable us to measure the effectiveness of a particular advertisement and to place it, for example, depending on the thematic interests of the user. The legal basis for this is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU-GDPR). We use the following cookies: First-party cookies: These cookies are directly controlled by Leadec Holding BV & Co. KG. Depending on the purpose, they remain permanently stored (so-called persistent cookies, e.g., implementation of opt-out) – even after the session has ended – or are deleted when the browser is closed (so-called session cookies, which are only valid for the duration of the browser session). Third-party cookies: These cookies are controlled by third-party providers. Third-party providers are providers that display banner ads, especially for Leadec Holding BV & Co. KG, on other websites. They use cookies, e.g., to transmit the information that a banner displayed by you has led to a sale (e.g., conversion tracking). So-called temporary/permanent cookies, which are automatically deleted after a given time (usually six months), are used here. These temporary or permanent cookies are stored on your device and are deleted automatically after the given time has elapsed. The cookies from our partner firms also only contain pseudonymized data, usually even anonymous data. They allow our partners to track the products you viewed, whether any products were purchased, the products that were searched for, etc. Some of our advertising partners also record, in addition to information on the webpages, information on the pages you visited previously or the products, e.g., you were interested in. In this way, it is possible to display personalized ads. These pseudonymized data are never merged with your personal data. Before setting these cookies and putting such tools into operation, we will always ask you for your consent in advance within the framework of our cookie banner.

Google Ads Conversion (formerly Google AdWords Conversion) This website uses the online advertising program Google Ads from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). As part of Google Ads, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Google delivers these ads through so-called ad servers. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the internet browser of the user's computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of the user. If the user visits certain pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was directed to this page. Each Google Ad customer receives a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookies is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Each of the customers obtains information about the total number of users who clicked on the customer’s ad and were directed to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, the customers do not receive any information allowing them to identify users personally.

Google Maps is a web service that shows interactive maps to visually present geographical information. When using Google Maps, you will see our site and the information will make travel to our office easier. Information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is already transferred to and stored by Google servers in the USA when visiting subpages where the map provided by Google Maps is embedded.

When you are logged into Google, your data will be assigned to your account directly. If you do not wish Google to make this assignment to your profile, you must log out before activating this button. Google stores your data as a usage profile (also for users who are not logged in) and analyzes it. This analysis is carried out in particular pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on the legitimate interest of Google to display personalized advertisements, market research and/or user-oriented design of its website. You have a right to object to creating this user profile; however, you will have to contact Google to exercise this right.

GDPR) we use content or services from third party providers on our website. This always requires that the third-party providers of this content receive the IP address of the users, since without the IP address they could not send the content to their browser. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content. We attempt to use only the contents whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the contents. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. Pixel tags can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. This information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may include technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting time and other information about the use of our online services, as well as be linked to such information from other sources.

With the help of "consentmanager" you have the possibility to give your consent for certain functionalities of our website, e.g. for the purpose of integrating external elements, statistical analysis, measurement and personalized advertising. With the help of “consentmanager” you can grant or reject your consent for all functions or give your consent for individual purposes or individual functions. The settings you have made can also be changed afterwards.

By using “consentmanager”, personal data and information from the end devices used, such as the IP address, are processed. For the storage of the settings a necessary cookie is set, which is technically necessary for the operation of the website. Legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) in connection with Art. 6 para. 3 p. 1 lit. a) in connection with Art. 7 para. 1 GDPR and alternatively Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. We use the "consentmanager" tool to fulfil our legal obligations (e.g. obligation to provide evidence). Our legitimate interests in processing lie in the storage of user settings and preferences with regard to the use of cookies and other functionalities. "Consentmanager" stores your data as long as your user settings are active, maximum for 2 years. After two years after making the user settings, the consent will be asked again. The user settings made are then saved again for this period. You can object to the processing. You have the right to object to reasons arising from your particular situation. To object, please send an email to dataprivacy.DE@leadec-services.com. Integration of videos through YouTube We are using videos from the “YouTube” platform from the provider Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland, on our website. The videos were embedded with a privacy-enhanced mode. When embedding videos with the privacy-enhanced mode cookies that record user behavior for personalizing video playback will not be set. However, the privacy-enhanced mode only applies to the recording of user behavior, not to the serving of ads. When you visit our site, a device ID is created in the local storage of your web browser and stored even after the session ends; when you visit our website you also connect to the Google DoubleClick network. Additional data processing operations may also be triggered when you start the video. We do not have any influence over this. When you are logged into Google, your data will be directly allocated to your account. If you do not wish YouTube to create a link to your profile, you have to log out before activating the video. YouTube stores your data as a user profile and uses it for advertising and marketing purposes and/or for designing its website based on user needs. Such an analysis is used in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide user-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network of your activities on our website. You have the right to opt-out of such a user profile being created; however, you have to contact YouTube to exercise your rights. Opt-out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated Please see Google’s privacy policy for more information about the purpose and extent of the data collected and their processing through YouTube.

However, in regard to processing of your personal data we jointly share responsibility with Facebook in relation to all customers, interested parties and users.

However, we nevertheless make our best efforts to take all required measures to protect your data. Please note that Facebook has assumed the primary responsibility for processing insight data. We as the fan page operator do not make any decisions regarding the processing of insight data. Furthermore, we point out that your data may be processed outside of the European Union.

In addition, your data may be processed for market research and advertising purpose. User profiles may be created based on factors such as your user behavior and the resulting interests. For example, this allows placing of ads that presumably match your interests within and outside of the platforms. Generally, cookies are stored on your device for this purpose.
