Cookie statement

 

  1. Web analytics

We need statistical information about the use of our online offerings in order to make them easier to use, to conduct large-scale measurements, and to conduct market research.

In this regard, we use the web analytics tools described in this section.

User profiles created by these tools using analytics cookies or analyzing log files do not contain personal data. The tools either do not use IP addresses at all or immediately restrict them to data collection.

The tools provide processed data only to processors that are subject to our directives and not for our own purposes.

Below you will find information about what each tool offers and how you can refuse to collect and process data through that tool.

  1. Social plugins

In our online offers we use the so-called social plugins from different social networks; these are described individually in this section.

While using plugins, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of that social network. This provider receives information that your browser has accessed from our Online Offers site, even if you do not have a user account with that provider or are not currently logged into your account. The log files (including IP addresses) are, in this case, transmitted directly by your browser to that provider and can be stored there. Your provider or servers may be located outside the EU or the EEA (for example, in the United States).

Plugins are individual extensions provided by social networking providers. For this reason, we cannot influence the extent of the data collected and stored by them.

You can find the purpose and scope of the social network’s continued collection, processing and use of your data, as well as your privacy rights and settings, by consulting the social network’s data protection notifications.

If you don’t want social network providers to receive and, if necessary, store or use your data, you shouldn’t use those plugins.

By using the so-called two-click solution (provided by Heise Medien GmbH & Co. KG) we protect you from the implicit recording and processing of your visit on our web pages by social networking providers. When using our website, which contains such plugins, they are initially disabled. Plugins will only be activated when you click the provided button.
