Data collection on our website SSL and TLS encryption For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. An encrypted connection can be recognized by the change from “http://” to “https://” in the URL bar of your browser and by the lock icon in your browser bar. When SSL or TSL encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. Cookies The web pages use so-called “cookies.” These do not damage your computer and do not carry viruses. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. They serve to make our website more user-friendly, more effective, and more secure. Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies.” They are automatically erased at the end of your session. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit. Your browser allows you to change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie and only permit it in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain circumstances or generally, and activate the automatic erasure of cookies when the browser is closed. Important: Deactivating cookies may restrict the functionality of this website. Cookies that are necessary to run the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you want to use (such as the download collection) are stored on the basis of art. 6 (1) f of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the purposes of error-free and optimized provision of their services. The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither prescribed by law nor required by contract. However, the functionality of our website is not ensured if such data are not stored. If other cookies (e.g. cookies to analyze your surfing behavior) are stored, they require your voluntary consent. When you visit our site for the first time, you can already set your cookie preferences. These can be changed at any time afterwards by clicking on "Configure Cookies" in the footer of the page, simply by selecting or deselecting the desired checkboxes and saving the settings. If you delete your browser history, the settings must be made again. You can find out exactly which cookies we use and for what purpose as well as further information here. Server log files The provider of the site automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are: a) Access log First line of request Required time (in microseconds) to serve the request Connection status after response is finished b) Error log Time stamp Error type Process ID Client (only the IP of the upstream load balancer, not the actual IP) Error code Error description Affected resource The server log files are retained for 90 days. This data will not be conflated with other data sources. The basis for data processing is art. 6 (1) a+f of the GDPR. The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither prescribed by law nor required by contract. However, without the IP address and cookie identifier, the service and the functionality of our website is not guaranteed. In addition, individual services may be limited or unavailable. If you do not agree to this, we ask that you leave the site. Contact form The data entered in the contact form is only processed based on your consent (art. 6 (1) a of the GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request its erasure, revoke your consent to processing, or the purpose for data processing no longer exists (e.g. after your request has been processed). This does not affect mandatory legal provisions – especially periods of retention. Your personal data is provided on a voluntary basis.

Only a counting mechanism is activated when the message is opened without reference to the contact/recipient and no personal data are processed. If you do not wish to be analyzed by zimpel, you must cancel your subscription to the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in each newsletter message.

Web analysis / Google Analytics This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google processes your data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield. Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google Analytics cookies are stored based on art. 6 (1) f of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to improve their website and advertising. a) IP anonymization We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of this website’s operator to analyze your use of the website so that reports about website activity can be compiled and other services related to website and internet use can be performed for the website operator. The IP address transmitted from your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be conflated with other Google data. b) Browser Plug-In You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use all the features of this website to the fullest possible extent.

This allows reports to be created that contain information on the age, gender and interests of visitors to the site. This data comes from interest-related advertising by Google and from visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can disable this feature at any time through the ad preference settings in your Google Account or generally opt-out of Google Analytics collecting your information as described in the "Objection to data collection" section. f) Google Analytics Remarketing Our website uses Google Analytics Remarketing functions in connection with the cross-device functions of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This function makes it possible to link the advertising target group generated with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google Ads and Google Doubleclick. This way, personalized advertisements based on your interests that were tailored to you based on your previous usage and surfing behavior can also be displayed on another one of your devices (e.g. Tablet or PC). If you have given Google the corresponding consent, Google links your online and app browser history with your Google account for this purpose. This way, the same personalized advertisements can be placed on every device on which you have signed in with your Google account. To support this function, Google Analytics identifies Google-authenticated user IDs that are temporarily linked with our Google Analytics data in order to define and generate target groups for cross-device advertising. You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google account. To do so, follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/ The data collected in your Google account is aggregated exclusively on the basis of your consent, which you can give to Google and also revoke (Art 6 (1) letter a GDPR). For data collection activities that are not consolidated in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or object to such consolidation), the data is collected based on Art. 6 (1) letter f GDPR. The legitimate interests are based on the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymous analysis of website visitors for the purpose of direct advertising. You can find further information and the data protection provisions in Google's data protection declaration under: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/. g) Google ads, signals, and conversion tracking This website uses Google Ads. Ads is an online advertising program of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”). We use conversion tracking in connection with Google Ads. If you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the user's computer by their internet browser. These cookies expire after 30 days and do not serve to personally identify the user. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can see that the user clicked on the advertisement and was routed to this webpage. Every Google Ads customer receives another cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Ads customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookies serves to generate anonymous conversion statistics for Ads customers that have decided in favor of conversion tracking. We learn the total number of users that have clicked on our advertisement and were routed to a webpage containing a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information with which we can personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking you can reject this usage by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie over your internet browser under user settings. Then you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Conversion cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) letter f GDPR.
