Cookies and right to object to direct mail:

Cookies are small files that are stored on users’ computers. Different information can be stored within the cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit within an online offer. Temporary cookies, or “session cookies” or “transient cookies”, are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online offer and closes his browser. In such a cookie e.g. the content of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status can be saved. Cookies are referred to as “permanent” or “persistent” and remain saved even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status is saved if the users visit it after several days. Such a cookie can also be used to store the interests of users, and used for range measurement or marketing purposes. A “third-party cookie” refers to cookies that are offered by providers other than the person responsible for operating the online offer (otherwise, if they are only their cookies, we speak of “first-party cookies”).

We can use temporary and permanent cookies and clarify this in the context of our data protection declaration.

If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they have to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online offer.

However, the shipping service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them themselves or to pass the data on to third parties.

 

Newsletter – measuring success:

The newsletters contain a so-called “web beacon”, i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened or, if we use a shipping service provider, from their server.

The statistical surveys also include determining whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our aim nor, if used, that of the shipping service provider to observe individual users.

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

We use the online marketing process Google “AdWords” to place ads in the Google advertising network (e.g., in search results, in videos, on websites, etc.) so that they are displayed to users who have a presumed interest in the ads. This allows us to display ads for and within our online offer in a more targeted manner in order to only present users with ads that potentially correspond to their interests. If a user e.g. Displaying advertisements for products in which he was interested in other online offers is referred to as “remarketing”. For these purposes, when our and other websites on which the Google advertising network is active, Google directly executes a code from Google and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also as ” Web Beacons ”) in the website. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file is saved (comparable technologies can be used instead of cookies). This file notes which websites the user has visited, what content he is interested in and which offers the user has clicked on, as well as technical information on the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information on the use of the online offer.

We also receive an individual “conversion cookie”. The information obtained with the help of cookies is used by Google to create conversion statistics for us. However, we only learn the anonymous total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

The data of the users are processed pseudonymously within the Google advertising network. I.e. Google does not store and process the user’s name or email address, but processes the relevant cookie-related data within pseudonymous user profiles. I.e. From Google’s perspective, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie holder, regardless of who this cookie holder is. This does not apply if a user has expressly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization.

The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We strive to only use content, provided by respective providers who only use the IP address to deliver the content.

The “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website.
