They are used on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f (overriding legitimate interests) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The legitimate interests are in particular the monitoring of the technical performance of the website as well as our interest in the economic use of partner sales channels. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. They can therefore not be deactivated via our Consent Management System and by you as a website user. Among others, we use the following technically necessary cookies:

• Cookiebot (CookieConsent [x5]): Enables users to individually control their data transfer.

Preference Cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region that you are in. They are used on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (your consent). The data processing only begins when you have given the corresponding opt-in.

Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags through one interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not collect any personal data. The tool takes care of triggering other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/tag-manager/use-policy/

The following cookies are used on this website:

However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Please note that this data may be transferred outside the European Union and the European Economic Area and to a country that does not offer an adequate level of data protection. If the data is transferred to the USA, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes without you possibly being entitled to legal remedies.

The legal basis for the processing of your data in this case is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. With regard to the transfer of third countries, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer needed for the processing purposes, but at the latest after 1 year.

These services, technologies and cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third party advertisers. They are used on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (your consent). The data processing only begins when you have given the corresponding opt-in. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future (see privacy settings).  The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on the consent before its withdrawal.

3.4.1.     Google AdWords

This website uses AdWords by Google, Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google") to re-engage visitors that are likely to convert to customers based on the visitor’s online behavior across websites.

We use scripts from Google Adwords to create remarketing lists or similar target groups in order to personalize our online advertising. Google links sessions on our website (first-party cookie) to one of Google’s ad cookies on users’ browsers (third-party cookie). If you later perform a search on google.com using the same browser, you may see customized ads based on your previous sessions on our platform. Google may use the data collected in conjunction with the data they have about you to personalize advertising on their own network. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data as part of Google AdWords. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can see which of our advertisements in the Google advertising network are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data, and in particular we cannot identify our users on the basis of this information.

If you do not wish to use Google’s remarketing function, you can deactivate it by changing the corresponding settings under http://www.google.com/settings/ads.

3.4.2.     Google DoubleClick

This website uses Google DoubleClick by Google, Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google") to record and report the user’s actions on the website after viewing or clicking on one of the provider’s ads, with the purpose of measuring the effectiveness of an advertisement and displaying targeted advertisements to the user.

Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once. In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later calls up the advertiser’s website with the same browser and buys something there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google’s server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have called up the relevant part of our website or clicked on the ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider learns your IP address and stores it.

You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways: a) by setting your browser software accordingly – suppressing third-party cookies will result in you not receiving third-party ads; b) by disabling cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com (https://www.google.de/settings/ads) whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the self-regulatory campaign “About Ads" via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; d) by permanently deactivating them in your browsers Firefox, Internet explorer or Google Chrome under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this offer to their full extent.

For further information regarding the processing by Google please see section 3.3.1.

• YouTube (YSC, yt.innertube::nextId [x2], yt.innertube::requests [x2]): Registers a unique ID to keep statistics of the videos from YouTube that the user has watched.

The website contains services that optimize user-friendliness and measure the reach of the website.

The creation of personal user profiles takes place exclusively in exceptional cases and provided that you have given your consent.
The web tracking services are regularly provided by service providers who process the pseudonymous user profiles only in accordance with our instructions and not for their own purposes. This is ensured by means of data processing agreements. If the service providers are established outside the European Union or the European Economic Area (hereinafter referred to as “EU or EEA"), a so-called third country transfer takes place.

However, since we have no control over the data collected by third parties and its processing by them we are unable to make any binding statements pertaining to the purpose and scope of the processing of your data.

5. WHO COMES INTO POSSESSION OF MY PERSONAL DATA?

Within our company those who need access to your information for the purposes described in section 4 will be given access to it. Service providers contracted by us may also be given access to your information (“contract data processors”, e.g. data centers, mailing services for newsletters, web tracking). They are bound by our directives and must provide for data security and the confidential treatment of your information under the contract data processing agreements we have concluded with them.

No sharing of information with other recipients such as advertising partners, providers of social media services or credit institutions (“third parties”) takes place.

6. IS MY PERSONAL DATA PROCESSED OUTSIDE OF THE EU OR EEA (‘TRANSFER TO A THIRD COUNTRY’)?

The use of Google Analytics as described in section 3.3. above causes personal data to be transferred to a third country since the data centers of Google Inc. are located outside of the European Union and the European Economic Area (“EU or EEA”). Such transfers of personal data to third countries may result in your personal information being transmitted to a country which does not provide for the same standard of data protection as the EU or EEA. For this case, respective EU Standard Contractual Clauses have been signed. You can request a copy of these safeguards by contacting the addresses indicated in section 1 above.

7. WHAT DATA PRIVACY RIGHTS DO I HAVE?

You have the right to request access to your personal data that is currently stored by us. If this data is incorrect or not up to date, you have the right to request rectification.

You also have the right to request a copy of the personal data provided by you in a structured, commonly-used, machine-readable format (right to data portability).

If you have given your consent to the processing of your personal information for specific purposes, you can withdraw that consent at any time for the future. Your notice of revocation is to be addressed to us by writing to the contact address indicated in section 1.

Pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR, you also have the right for reasons relating to your specific situation to raise an objection to the processing of your data that is done on the basis of Art. 6 para.1 lit.f GDPR. You also have the right to lodge an objection to the processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes. The same applies to automated processes involving the use of individual cookies, unless they are required for providing the functionality of our website.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. The authority responsible for us is:

Commission nationale pour la protection des données
1, avenue du Rock’n’Roll
L-4361 Esch-sur-Alzette

10. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We take technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data and keep it confidential. We take extensive technical and organizational security measures, which are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress, to prevent manipulation or loss or misuse of your personal data. This includes, among other things, the use of recognized encryption methods (SSL or TLS).
However, we would like to point out that, due to the structure of the Internet, it is possible that the rules of data protection and the above-mentioned security measures are not observed by other persons or institutions that are not in our area of responsibility. In particular, data disclosed in unencrypted form – e.g. if this is done by e-mail – can be read by third parties. We have no technical influence on this. It is the user’s responsibility to protect the data he or she provides against misuse by encrypting it or in any other way.
