Automatic storage of access data

Whenever a user accesses one of our web pages, the data associated with such access is automatically stored in a log file. This refers to general information, such as the referral page (the page from which the file was requested), the name of the file requested, date and time of the visit, the data volume transmitted, the protocol that was used and some internal identifiers sent by the internet browser and, if applicable, information on the operating system.

This general information is anonymous, i.e. it is not stored together with any personal data concerning you we may already have and is not attributed to such data in any other way. The information is analysed purely for statistical purposes and used to improve the contents and features of the website (point (f) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR. These data are not forwarded to third parties, neither for commercial nor for non-commercial purposes.

Cookies
Furthermore, this website also uses so-called cookies. A cookie is a small text file with an identifier that is transmitted to the user’s computer when the user visits our website, together with the information that was actually requested and is stored on the user’s computer. The file is kept available there for later access and serves to identify the user.

Cookies do not pose a danger to the computer as they are simple files and not executable programmes. Cookies do not contain any personal data, meaning that your privacy is protected. Depending on the settings made by the user in his/her internet browser, the browser will automatically accept cookies. However, these settings can be changed to deactivate the storage of cookies or to request the browser to issue a warning every time a cookie is placed. However, if the use of cookies is deactivated, some website features may no longer be available or limited.

Our website uses temporary cookies (so-called session cookies) that are only valid for the duration of a so-called session and that are automatically deleted as soon as the browser is closed. Our website also uses persistent cookies that are stored even after the session ends. We also link to other websites, which might also use cookies.

Use of the Google Analytics analysis tool

We use Google Analytics tool of Google LLC. This service, which uses cookies, helps us to analyse the way our webpages are used. The information generated by the cookie, such as your anonymised IP address, is, for this purpose, transmitted to a Google LLC. server in the US, and stored and analysed on our behalf. On this website, Google Analytics uses the code “gat._anonymizeIp()”, ensuring that IP addresses are only recorded anonymously. Usually, your IP address is anonymised by Google LLC. shortening your IP address within the European Union or other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. In exceptional cases, the full IP address will be transmitted to a Google LLC. server in the US and anonymised there. Your IP address that is transmitted in this process is not associated with other Google LLC. data. In the scope of the Google Analytics marketing function, Remarketing and performance reports use demographic characteristics and interests. These purpose of these procedures is to gain information on user behaviour and to thus adjust marketing measures better to the interests of the respective users. In the scope of Remarketing, personalised advertisements may be displayed on other websites based on the user’s internet behaviour on our website. The advertisements may contain products that the user previously looked at on our website. If you agreed that your Google web and app browser cache may be linked to your Google account and that information from your Google account is used to personalise advertisement, Google will use these data for Remarketing measures independent of the device you are using. You may at any time object to your data being recorded by Google Analytics, and have the following options to do so:

Most browsers are configured by default to accept cookies. You can, however, adjust the settings of your browser to refuse cookies. In this case you may not be able to use all the features of the website, though. You need to change the settings of every browser you use individually.
You can further prevent Google Inc. from recording and processing these data by downloading and installing the browser ad-on available from: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
Alternatively, or if you are using a browser on a mobile device, please click the following link: deactivate Google Analytics. This link places an opt-out cookie on your device that deactivates GoogleAnalytics for our web pages on the browser you are currently using. If you delete the cookies in your browser, you need to click this link again.

More information on the terms and privacy policy are available from: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/ .

Google Remarketing

The Remarketing technology of Google Ireland Limited (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) helps to re-adress users, who have already visited our website, with interest-based marketing on the websites within the Google Partner Network. Such advertisements may contain products that the user previously looked at on the adviqo website (Remarketing). For this purpose, our website contains Google Remarketing tracking pixels that record user behaviour on the website (e.g. consultants clicked), the technical details of the website access (e.g. the browser used, the IP address) and purchasing behaviour (e.g. consultants last clicked) without reference to the identity of the user and then transmit such information to Google. Google uses cookies to be able to recognise and classify users. If users have agreed that their Google web and app browser cache is linked to their Google account and that Google may use information from their Google account to personalise advertisement, Google will use the data of the registered users, together with data Google collects itself, to compile and define custom audiences for Remarketing measures independent of the device that is used. In order to support this feature, Google Analytics records authenticated IDs for these users. These personal data of Google are temporarily combined with our Google Analytics data in order to compile custom audiences.

For more information and information on how to deactivate this type of advertising, please go to http://www.google.com/settings/u/0/ads/anonymous?hl=en.

Google Maps

We use Google Maps (API) on our website, a service operated by Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Maps is an online service that shows interactive maps, visualising geographical information. This service shows you our location, making it easier to find us. As soon as you access one of the web pages that includes a map from Google Maps, information on how you use our website (e.g. your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This happens even if you are not logged into a Google user account or do not have a Google account. When you are logged into Google, your data will be attributed to your account. If you do not wish your data to be attributed to your Google profile, you have to log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even the data of users that are not logged in) as user profiles and analyses them. This analysis is based in particular on point (f) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR and Google’s legitimate interest to show personalised advertisements, to conduct market research and/or to customise its website to meet the users’ needs.  You have the right to object to such user profiles being compiled, which you can exercise by addressing Google directly. The Google website offers detailed information on data protection in connection with the use of Google Maps (“Google Privacy Policy”): https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=de

Google Fonts

We use Google Fonts, a service provided by Google LLC. (“Google”). These web fonts are incorporated via a server call that is usually addressed to a Google server in the US. This shows to the server which of our websites you visited. Google furthermore stores the IP address of the browser on the device belonging to the visitor of these websites. More information is provided in the privacy policy of Google, which is available at:

www.google.com/fonts#AboutPlace:about https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
