WHY DO WE HAVE A COOKIE POLICY?
This Cookie Policy sits in line with our obligations set out in New York’s common law and privacy requirements and the EU`s Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (“PECD”). In accordance with them, we need to inform you about the cookies we use and obtain your consent when using certain types of cookies, namely functional, performance, analytical, and advertising cookies (“Optional Cookies”).
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small text file that is sent to your device’s hard drive by a website. Each time you return to the same website, your browser retrieves and sends the relevant cookie(s) to the website’s server. Cookies can be divided into the following two broad categories:
Essential or necessary cookies. These cookies are essential or necessary to ensure that a website works properly and is secure so that you can navigate a website and use its features. Without these cookies, certain features of a website would not function, and thus you would not be able to use certain services.
Optional Cookies. These cookies are non-essential for the website to function and require your consent. When it comes to optional cookies, the following distinctions are made:
● Functional cookies, sometimes called convenience cookies. These cookies allow a website to remember the options a user has made and other personalization options you have selected when browsing.
● Analysis and performance cookies, which are used to monitor and improve the function and service of a website. Those can track down problems when using a website, facilitate online surveys, record visitor numbers, and provide analytics metrics.
● Advertising cookies or targeting cookies. They are used to deliver customized advertising to the user.
THE COOKIES WE USE
We utilize the below-mentioned cookies to provide users with an improved user experience.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google. Google Analytics uses a specific form of cookie, which is stored on your device and enables an analysis of your use of our website. The cookies set by Google Analytics for measurement are different for each visitor (i.e., there is not a single Google Analytics cookie ID that is used on all sites using Google Analytics). The information about your use of our website generated by the cookie is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google uses this information on our behalf to analyze your use of this website in order to compile reports on website activities and provide additional services related to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other data.
In the configuration of Google Analytics, we ensured that Google receives this data as a processor and is therefore not allowed to use this data for its own purposes. In relation to the data transfer into the USA Google’s processing agreement for Google Analytics, can be read here. You can disable tracking by Google Analytics with future effect by downloading and installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for your current web browser following this link.
Godaddy Analytics
Our website uses the analysis service “Godaddy Analytics” from GoDaddy. Through Godaddy Analytics, various user data is collected for optimization and marketing purposes, stored, processed, and summarized in statistical reports in anonymized form. This includes login data, time zone setting, operating system and platform, information about visits, including URL, session duration, and number of pages viewed per session, search terms, information about what you searched for or viewed on my website, website response time, and conversion rates.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of Godaddy Analytics cookies for reading out information on your device, is subject to your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in our cookie consent tool.
SourceBuster JS
We use SourceBuster JS, a locally hosted web analysis service.SourceBuster uses a specific form of cookie, which is stored on your device and enables an analysis of your use of our website. The cookies set by SourceBuster for measurement are different for each visitor (i.e. there is not a single cookie ID that is used on all sites using SourceBuster). The information about your use of our website generated by the cookie is not transmitted to a third party. We use this information to analyze your use of our website in order to compile reports on website activities and provide additional services related to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of our use of SourceBuster is not merged with other data. The legal basis for the processing is your consent.
Pixel Cookies and Tags
We use so-called Pixel Cookies and Tags (“Pixel Cookies”). A Pixel Cookie is an advertising tool and typically consists of a JavaScript code snippet that allows us to understand and track visitors’ activity on our website. For this purpose, Pixel Cookies collect and process information about visitors of our website and the device used (so-called event data).
Event data collected through Pixel Cookies is used for targeting our advertisements and improving ad delivery and personalized advertising. For this purpose, the event data collected on our website by means of Pixel Cookies is transmitted to the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie and, in part, also stored on your device. However, this only happens with your consent, and we and the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie are considered joint controllers. Nonetheless, for the subsequent processing of the transmitted event data, the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie is the sole controller.
For more information about how the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie processes personal data, including the legal basis on which they rely on and how you can exercise your rights, please refer to the following Privacy Policies: Facebook and Instagram.
Google Ads
We use Google Ads, an online advertising service provided by Google. Google Ads enables us to show advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be shown on the basis of user data available to Google (e.g., location data and interests) (target group targeting).
With the help of Google Ads, we can evaluate this data quantitatively, for example, which search terms have led to the display of our advertisements and how many ads have resulted in corresponding clicks. The use of this service is based on your consent.
Google Ads Remarketing
We also use the remarketing functions of Google Ads. Google Ads Remarketing allows us to assign people who interact with our advertisements and website to specific target groups and to display interest-based advertising to them within the Google advertising network.
Further, the advertising target groups created by us using Google Ads Remarketing can be linked to Google’s cross-device functions. This means that interest-based, personalized advertising (that is, advertising that has been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., a tablet or PC). The use of this service is based on your consent.
Google Conversion Tracking
We also use Google Conversion Tracking. With the help of Google conversion tracking, we and Google can recognize whether the user has performed certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website were clicked how often and which products were viewed or purchased particularly frequently. This information is used to create conversion statistics. We also learn the total number of users who clicked on our ads and what actions they took. We do not receive any information with which we can personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification. The use of this service is based on your consent.
