NEWSLETTER SIGN-UP If you sign up for a newsletter, we will use your e-mail address to send the respective issue of our newsletter, through which we regularly provide information to you about interesting topics. In order to ensure your proper sign-up to the newsletter — that is to say, in order to prevent unauthorized sign-ups on behalf of third parties —, after your initial newsletter sign-up we will, as part of a double-opt-in procedure, send you a confirmation e-mail in which we ask you to confirm that you have signed up.

Cookies are stored on the hard drive of the user’s computer and do not cause any damage there. The cookies of the Website contain personal data about the user. Cookies save the user of the Website the trouble of, for example, having to re-enter data, simplify the transmission of specific content and help AUTO1.com in identifying particularly popular areas of the Website. This enables AUTO1.com, among other things, to adjust the contents of the Website exactly to the needs of its users. The legal basis for this processing activity is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The user may, at any time, prevent this Website from placing any cookies by making a corresponding adjustment to the settings of the internet browser used, and thereby permanently objecting to the placing of cookies. Furthermore, any cookies that have already been placed may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all the commonly-used internet browsers. If the user deactivates the placing of cookies in the internet browser used, potentially not all functions of this Website will be usable to their full extent. 8. GOOGLE ANALYTICS This Website uses Google Analytics. Google Analytics is a web-analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, compilation and analysis of data regarding the behavior of visitors to webpages. A web-analysis service collects, among other things, data as to the question from which webpage a Data Subject has arrived on a webpage (known as a referrer), which sub-sites of the website were accessed or how often and for which length of stay a sub-site was viewed. A web analysis is primarily used to optimize a webpage and to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising. The operating company of the Google-Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. For web analysis via Google Analytics AUTO1.com uses the suffix “_gat._anonymizeIp”. By means of this suffix, the IP address of the internet connection of the Data Subject is truncated and anonymized by Google if our Website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The purpose of the Google-Analytics component is the analysis of the flow of visitors on the Website. Google uses the data and information collected, among other things, to analyze the use of the Website in order to compile online reports for us that show the activities on the Website and to provide additional services connected to the use of the Website. Google Analytics uses what is known as “cookies”, i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of how you have used the website. Each time that one of the individual pages of this Website — which is operated by the controller responsible for the processing and on which a Google-Analytics component has been integrated —is accessed, the internet browser on the IT system of the Data Subject is automatically induced by the respective Google-Analytics component to transmit data to Google for purposes of online analysis. In the context of this technical process, Google will learn of personal data — such as the IP address of the Data Subject —, which enables Google, among other things, to trace the provenance of the visitors and clicks and as a result to allow commissions to be invoiced. By means of the cookie, personal data — for example the time of access, the place from which our Website was accessed, and the number of times that the Data Subject visited our Website — is stored. Each time our Website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the Data Subject, is transferred to Google in the US. This personal data is stored by Google in the US. Google potentially transmits this personal data, which was collected via the technical process, to third parties. As has already been set out above, the Data Subject may, at any time, prevent our Website from placing any cookies by making a corresponding adjustment to the settings of the internet browser used, and thereby permanently object to the placing of cookies. Such an adjustment to the settings of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the IT system of the Data Subject. In addition, a cookie that has already been placed by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs. Besides, the Data Subject has the option of objecting to the collection of the data produced by Google Analytics and related to the use of this Website as well as of objecting to the processing of such data by Google and of preventing such collection and processing. In order to do this, the Data Subject needs to download a browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on lets Google Analytics know via JavaScript that no data and information about the visits of webpages may be transmitted to Google Analytics. Google considers the installation of the browser add-on to constitute an objection. If the IT system of the Data Subject is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, then the Data Subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is deinstalled or deactivated by the Data Subject or by any other person who is attributable to the Data Subject’s sphere of control, there is an option of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on. For more information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google please see https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html abgerufen werden. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/ .The legal basis for this processing activity is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. 9. GOOGLE TAG MANAGER This Website uses Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. Tags are small code elements which serve, among other things, to measure traffic and visitor behavior. Google Tag Manager only implements tags. No cookies are used, and hence no personal data is collected, as part of that process. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn potentially collect data. Google Tag Manager does not, however, access this data. If a deactivation was effected at the level of the domain or cookie, it remains in place for all tracking tags provided that they are implemented with Google Tag Manager. 10. AMAZON CLOUDFRONT This Website uses Amazon CloudFront, a CDN (content delivery network) of Amazon Web Services, Inc. (hereinafter “Amazon”). Using a CDN shortens the loading time of the Website. Amazon operates numerous servers in Europe (including in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and Milan, Italy) in order to be able to send our data to you as quickly as possible. However, in technical terms it cannot be ruled out that your browser may access a server outside the EU (e.g. because you access this Website from outside the EU, or for some other reason). In such a case, data is sent from your browser directly to the respective country and/or region (North and South America, Asia, Australia). For more information on Amazon CloudFront see https://aws.amazon.com/de/cloudfront/. You can find the Amazon privacy policy at https://aws.amazon.com/de/privacy/?nc1=f_pr. 11. CRAZYEGG.COM This Website uses the tracking tool CrazyEgg.com in order to record randomly selected individual visits (only with an anonymized IP address). Using cookies, this tracking tool allows an analysis of the way in which you use the Website (e.g. what content is being clicked on). To that end, a user profile is displayed visually. The tool creates user profiles using pseudonyms.The legal basis for this processing activity is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. You may at any time object to the processing of the data generated by CrazyEgg.com by following the instructions at http://www.crazyegg.com/opt-out. For further information on data protection at CrazyEgg.com please see http://www.crazyegg.com/privacy. 12.
