Such data may be any information provided, such as name, address, email address, including payment information or online identifiers, as well as browsing behavior. 2. Collecting Data from Webpage Visitors a) Usage Data Each time you visit to our webpages, even if it is for informational purposes only, i.e., whenever you visit our webpages without logging in or registering an account, or knowingly transmit information to us (for example, when registering for a newsletter), we collect the following data, which are transmitted by your browser to enable you to visit our webpages (usage data): IP address date and time of request duration of website visit time difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) content of the request (exact website) access status/http status code data volume transferred in each case website where the request comes from browser, language of browser, browser software version operating system For IT security reasons, we store the IP address in our IT system log files for 7 days from the date the webpages were visited to identify and prevent (distributed) denial of service attacks. IP addresses are anonymized after 7 days by removing the last 8 bits of the IP addresses. The legal basis for processing such data is our legitimate interest in the security of our webpages (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR). b) Cookies When you visit our webpages or our online shop, cookies are stored on the device you use to access our website. Such cookies enable the systems of Native Instruments to recognize your browser and offer various personalized services. Cookies are small text files (alphanumeric identifiers) that are stored on your terminal when you visit a webpage. The information stored is sent back to the respective servers during a repeat visit. We use first-party cookies and third-party cookies, which may either be session cookies or temporary cookies. Once the browser session has ended, session cookies are automatically deleted from your hard drive. These cookies store a so-called session ID to assign various requests from your browser to a common session. We use this type of cookie for the shopping cart feature as well as for the user and license data. Using such cookies is a technical prerequisite for assigning all activities during multiple webpage visits to your account. Temporary cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, or after 36 months maximum. The feedback given by cookies to the servers concerned in various browser sessions enables us to recognize repeat visitors to our website or to maintain the language settings selected for multiple website visits. A connection to customer accounts (if any) and thus possible identification is only made if the "Remember Me" feature is selected during log-in so we may provide a personalized shopping experience. The processing of data associated with the setting of the cookies required is based on our legitimate interest in providing the respective service requested (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR). Third-party cookies are set by servers other than our servers, i.e., the website you visit. However, browsers do not render first-party cookies accessible across domains. When visiting our webpages or online shop, third-party cookies are used by some third party companies. A list of such third party companies and the third-party cookies they use is available here. Further details are provided below in this Privacy Policy. By using such cookies, also known as "tracking cookies", visits to various webpages can be assigned to a specific person. It is thus possible to get a good idea of the interests of this particular person and adapt the webpages accordingly (personalization, e.g., by providing customized advertisements). We only set such third-party tracking cookies, provided you have given us your consent via our cookie settings (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR). You may change or revoke your consent in the cookie settings provided in the footer of each webpage under “Manage cookies” at any time with future effect. Furthermore, you may also configure your browser in the browser settings in such a way to object to the use of specific types of cookies or to block them from the outset. You may visit our webpages if you have blocked the setting of cookies or have not consented to them. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not use our webpages to the full extent and may in particular not do any shopping by virtual shopping cart for technical reasons (see above). c) Third-Party Web Analytics (aa) AB Tasty We use the AB Tasty web analytics service provided by AB TASTY SAS, 17-19 Rue Michel-le-Comte, 75003 Paris, France ("AB Tasty") for so-called A/B tests to improve our webpages.
