11.2

The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include:

  • Cookies (or browser cookies). A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer or other device. You can use your browser settings to instruct your browser to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our Websites or use certain Services. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Websites or use our Services. You can still review the Websites or use our Services if you choose to set your browser to refuse all cookies. We use the following kinds of cookies:
    1. Session Cookies: Session cookies are stored in memory and are deleted once you close your web browser.
    2. Personalization Cookies:Personalization cookies are used for retaining persistent information about our users. Loss of the information stored in a personalization cookie may lessen the functionality of our Websites for users but should not prevent the Websites from working.
    3. Security Cookies:We use security cookies to authenticate users, prevent fraud, and protect user data from access by unauthorized parties.
    4. Tracking Cookies:We use tracking cookies to record and analyze user behavior.

We also use third party cookies, including tracking and advertising cookies. We provide information below about how you can configure the cookie options of your browser in the section titled “Choices You Have Over How We Use Your Personal Information” below.

  • Web Beacons. Certain pages on our Websites and available through our Services and our e-mails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit the Company, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).

Personal Information is not collected by us via cookies and other tracking technologies except as disclosed below. If you have previously provided Personal Information to us, cookies may be tied to such information.

12. Other Tracking Technologies

12.1

We advertise on Facebook (including Instagram), Google and Twitter. The third parties may use tracking technologies to collect information, for instance, when you click on our ads. We do not receive any Personal Information from these advertisers that would allow us to identify a specific user of our Websites or Services except as described below. Collected data includes:

  • The date and time that you access our Websites and Services;
  • The identification number of a cookie;
  • The device identification of your devices, if you use our applications on your devices such as tablets or smartphones; and
  • Technical information about your browser and your operating system.

12.2

Facebook Pixel and Facebook Custom Audiences from our Websites: Our Websites and Services may use the Facebook pixel to create custom audiences from our Websites and Services for more effective and targeted advertising on Facebook. Pixel tags are transparent images or short snippets of Javascript that we and some of our third-party providers use to understand how the users of our Websites and Services interact with our Websites and Services (and in some cases, other websites and services provided by third parties). In this way, we can create custom audiences to inform you and others of our products and services in a more targeted manner, measure the conversion rates of these audiences, and inform Facebook users, including audiences created on Facebook, Instagram, and Facebook’s Audience Network, with information about the Company and its products and services. This pixel, which is a piece of code for our Websites and our Services, allows Facebook to collect certain identifiable information, including contextual data, such as a person’s Facebook user ID or other custom data, about Facebook users on our site and allows us to track certain events on our Websites, such as when our customers purchase products after they have visited an advertisement. A one-way and non-personally identifiable checksum is created by your usage data, which can be transmitted to Facebook for analysis and marketing purposes. Facebook servers set a cookie as part of this process, and Facebook collects information about your activities on our Websites and Services (such as your surfing behavior, subpages visited, etc.). In addition, your IP address is stored and used for geographical identification. This collection of data is governed by Facebook’s privacy policy, https://www.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy, and the Company is not responsible for Facebook’s collection and handling of the Personal Information and other data of Facebook users, as we do not control Facebook’s privacy practices. We can merely choose which segment of Facebook users (segmented by such attributes as age or interests) should be shown our advertisements. You can learn more about Facebook Custom Audience pixels, and revoke your permission for this service, by visiting https://www.facebook.com/ads/website_custom_audiences/. You may also opt-out of the collection and use of information by Facebook for targeted advertising by accessing the Digital Advertising Alliance’s “Consumer Choice” Program: http://www.aboutads.info/choices.

12.3

Facebook Custom Audiences from Customer Lists: We sometimes provide to Facebook a list of names, phone numbers, and email addresses for customers who have purchased a particular product from us. If Facebook can determine that people on the list also have Facebook accounts, Facebook will use information about the people on our list to present Facebook ads that the Company purchases to other potential customers who possess similar characteristics to the people on the list we provided to Facebook. Facebook may use the information that it obtains about you for purposes such as advertising and market research. If you use Facebook, Instagram, or other Facebook services, you are subject to Facebook’s privacy policies. More information about Facebook’s privacy policy and how to opt out from Facebook’s practices is available above.

12.4

Google DoubleClick: Our Websites and Services use DoubleClick by Google. Use of DoubleClick allows Google and its partner sites to serve ads that we purchase from Google on other websites and services based on information it learns from your previous visits to our Websites or use of our Services. Third party cookies detect which advertisements have already appeared in your browser and whether you visited a website or a service because of an advertisement. This allows you to receive advertisements that are relevant to your interests. The data arising in this context can be transmitted by Google to a server in the United States for evaluation and stored there.

To opt out of the cookies provided by Google for DoubleClick, please visit: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated?hl=en.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser or device. Doing so, however, may prevent you from obtaining the full functionality of our Websites and our Services. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookies and relating to your use of our Websites, Services, and other websites and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the DoubleClick deactivation browser plug-in. As an alternative to the browser plug-in or within browsers on mobile devices, you can disable the “Personalized Advertising” button in Google Advertising Settings. In this case, Google will only display general advertising that has not been selected based on the information collected about you.

Please refer to Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy for more information.

12.5

Google AdWords: As a user of Google AdWords, we partner with Google to perform conversion tracking on some of the pages of our Websites which you may access through our Services. Google AdWords places a cookie on your computer or mobile device if you have accessed certain webpages on our Websites or through our Services via a Google advertisement. If you visit certain pages on our Websites or through our Services and the Google AdWords cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can track whether you have clicked on an advertisement and been referred to our page as a result. The information collected by means of this cookie allows us to obtain conversion statistics that help us with improving our Websites and our Services. We and other AdWords’ customers know, among other things, the total number of customers who have clicked on our advertisements and been redirected to a page on a website with a conversion tracking tag. But no AdWords customer receives any information by which it can personally identify visitors to its websites. If you do not want to participate in the tracking that we do using Google AdWords, you can prevent the placement of the applicable cookie by configuring your browser or device to prevent websites from setting cookies. You can also deactivate conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain googleadservices.com.

12.6

Google Advertising:Our Websites and Services use the Google remarketing or “similar target group” function on some pages. This technology allows us to place automatically generated advertisements oriented towards target groups after visitors visit our Websites and use our Services. Advertisements are oriented towards products and services that you clicked on during your last visit to our Websites or using our Services. Google uses cookies to analyze website usage, which forms the basis for tailoring interest-based advertisements. Google stores a small file with a sequence of numbers in the browsers of visitors to the Websites and other websites. This number is used to record visits to these websites and anonymized data on the use of these websites. If you have agreed to link your Google web and application accounts with your Google account, Google uses the data from your and other registered users together with Google Analytics data (described below) to create and define target groups for cross-device remarketing. If you wish to prevent this type of targeting, you may adjust the relevant settings under http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Google’s cookie usage can also be permanently deactivated under the following links for managing Google cookies.

You can find more information on Google Remarketing under Google’s data protection informationWe do not control Google, and we do not have control over the use of data that you share with Google.

12.7

Twitter Conversion Tracking:We use the Conversion Tracking service of Twitter Inc., (“Twitter”). We and Twitter track whether a visitor to our Websites or of our Services clicks on a link posted by Twitter. Twitter and the Company can determine whether such an action has taken place. In addition, we use Twitter’s Tailored Audiences service. This allows us to provide targeted advertisements to visitors to our Websites and users of our Services. To provide the Tailored Audiences service, we embed some functional code from Twitter that we have integrated into our Websites that your browser or device can execute. Tailored Audiences is also used to create targeting lists of potential customers that meet certain criteria, including geographical location, gender, age, and device types.

You can find more information about Twitter’s privacy policy in their data privacy statement (https://twitter.com/privacy?lang=en). You can adjust your privacy settings for tailored advertisements at this link: https://support.twitter.com/articles/20170405-your-privacy-controls-for-tailored-ads, and if you have a Twitter account, you can change the Twitter privacy settings for your account at https://twitter.com/account/settings. We do not control Twitter, and the Personal Information that is shared with Twitter is subject to Twitter’s privacy policy.

13. Google Analytics

13.1

Our Websites and Services use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand how our customers interact with our Websites and Services. Google Analytics collects Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, which are used to provide the analytic services and to identify from which country, state, or city visitors to our Websites and Services arrive. Google Analytics mainly relies on cookies to retain your information in persistent storage, and you may configure your browser or device to prohibit or disable cookies altogether or delete any individual cookie. Google Analytics transmits the information it obtains to Google, which stores it on its servers in the United States or around the world. Google will use this information for analyzing your use of our website, generating reports on website activity for us and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. We obtain data about the website from which visitors come to our Websites, which pages visitors visit, and how often and for what duration visitors visit particular pages on our Websites. Google may transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

When you use Google, you are subject to Google’s privacy policy. Further information about Google’s privacy policy may be obtained from http://www.google.com/privacy.html. We do not control Google, and the Personal Information that is shared with Google is subject to Google’s privacy policy.

14. Plug-Ins and Tools

14.1

Vimeo: Some of our Websites and Services include videos provided by the Vimeo video portal.

If you visit one of our pages featuring a Vimeo plugin, you will connect to Vimeo’s servers, and Vimeo servers will track which pages you have visited.

15. Authentication

15.1

Google reCAPTCHA: On some of our Websites and Services we use Google’s reCAPTCHA service to prevent automated programs from misusing our Websites and Services.

reCAPTCHA analyzes the usage behavior on our web pages (e.g. form submissions) to automatically determine whether the a human or automated program is submitting information. To do this, reCAPTCHA collects and analyzes various information (e.g. IP address, duration of the visit to our website, the date, the language that the browser is set to, browser plug-ins that have been installed, mouse movements of the user, and Javascript objects). Before or when you perform certain actions, such as when send a form, you may have to take an action, such as clicking an item, to confirm that you are a human rather than a program.

For more information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy, please visit https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/v3beta.html# and https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. We do not control Google, and the Personal Information that is shared with Google for the reCAPTCHA integration that we have on our Websites and Services is subject to Google’s privacy policy.

16. Social Media

16.1

Currently, we use the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, LinkedIn,  Twitter, and Instagram on some of our Websites and Services. (These plug-ins are sometimes referred to as “widgets”.) If you visit these Websites and social media plug-ins are provided on the web pages that you visit, no personal data are forwarded to the plug-in providers unless and until you click on a plug in. You can identify the providers of the plug-ins by their icons, marks, stylized initials, branding, or logos (e.g. the “f” of Facebook, the “g+” symbol of Google Plus, the camera icon of Instagram, the “in” symbol of LinkedIn, the stylized “p” in a red circle of Pinterest, and the bird symbol of Twitter). If you click on a plug in, you will directly communicate with the plug-in provider, which will receive a notification that you have accessed its website or services from our Websites or Services. By enabling the plug-in, your Personal Information and other data are sent to the plug-in provider and stored there. As plug-in providers often rely heavily on cookies to collect data and store it on your local device, you can delete cookies from your browser’s security settings prior to clicking a plug-in to limit the data that a plug-in provider receives about you. We do not control the providers of the social media plug ins, and their use of your Personal Information and other data is subject to their privacy policies. We provide links to these in the Section captioned “Third Party Services” below.

16.2

Facebook and Facebook Plugins (Like & Share Buttons): Our Websites and Services include links to Facebook and may include plugins for Facebook. The plugins are labeled with a Facebook logo or the addition “Facebook Social Plug-in” or “Facebook Social Plugin.” An overview of the Facebook plugins and their appearance can be found at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins.

We provide links to Facebook on certain pages of our Websites and through the Services. The links are identified by a stylized lowercase “f.” If you click on the link, you will be directed to a webpage that we maintain with Facebook and will be prompted to login if you are not already logged into your Facebook account. If you do not have a Facebook account, you will need to create an account before you will see Facebook content.

When you visit certain pages on our Websites or through our Services that have a Facebook plug-in, the Facebook plug-in creates a direct connection between your browser (or our mobile applications if you are using a mobile device) and a Facebook server. This connection allows Facebook to know that you have visited our Websites and Services and what your IP address is. If you are logged into your Facebook account and click on the Facebook “Like” button, you can link the content of our Websites and Services to your Facebook account. Facebook can then associate the visits that you make to our Websites and Services with your Facebook account. We do not control Facebook; as a result, we do not control how Facebook uses this content. For more information about Facebook’s data privacy policies, please see Facebook’s privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy. Your use of Facebook is governed by Facebook’s privacy policy.

If you do not want Facebook to link your visits to our Websites or use of our Services with your Facebook account, please do not log into your Facebook account when using our Websites and Services. You can prevent the loading of the Facebook plugins and the data processing procedures described above also with add-ons for your browser, for example, with the script blocker Privacy Badger, available at https://www.eff.org/privacybadger.

16.3

LinkedIn. Some pages on our Websites and Services contain integrated components of LinkedIn. With each request to a page on our Websites or Services in which a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in) is integrated, your browser or device is automatically prompted to download the corresponding LinkedIn component of LinkedIn. Further information about the LinkedIn plug-in may be accessed under https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. During the course of this process, LinkedIn receives data about the specific sub-pages of our Websites and portions of our Services that you have visited. If you are logged in with LinkedIn at the time you access these pages, LinkedIn detects with every visit to our Websites or Services by you—and for the entire duration of your stay on our Websites or using our Services—the specific sub-pages of our Websites and certain portions of our Services that you have visited. This information is collected through the LinkedIn integration with our Websites and Services and associated with your LinkedIn account. This happens whether or not you click on the LinkedIn button. If you click on one of the LinkedIn buttons integrated on our website, LinkedIn associates this information to your personal LinkedIn user account, if you have one, and stores the personal data.

If you do not want LinkedIn to receive this data, then you should make sure to log off from your LinkedIn account before visiting our Websites or using our Services.

LinkedIn allows you to unsubscribe from certain types of messages and advertisements and to manage advertising setting under https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls.

16.4

Twitter Plugin: Our Websites and Services include links to Twitter and certain functions of the Twitter service may have been integrated into our Websites and Services. If you click on the Twitter icon, you will connect to a web page that the Company maintains with Twitter. This page provides information about our products and services and allows you to, among other things, “follow” us using the Twitter service so that you will receive short promotional messages from us. We also post photos and videos on the Twitter service. When you use Twitter and “retweet” content, the content from the websites that you retweet are connected to your Twitter account and broadcast to other users. In doing so, data will also be transferred to Twitter.

Some of our Websites and Services may include Twitter plug-ins. These plug-ins are labeled with a Twitter logo, such as a blue bird. To learn more about Twitter plugins and how to identify them, please visit: https://about.twitter.com/de/resources/buttons.

When you access a page on our Websites or through the Services that contains a Twitter plug-in, your browser connects directly to a Twitter server. Twitter transmits content to the plug-in and to your browser, and content from Twitter is embedded into the page that you view on our Websites or Services. This integration provides Twitter with information that your browser or mobile application has accessed the corresponding page of our Websites or our Services, even if you do not have a Twitter account or are not currently logged in to Twitter. This information (including your IP address) is directly transmitted from your browser to a Twitter server and stored by Twitter.

If you have an account with Twitter and are logged in to it, Twitter can immediately associate information about your visit to our Websites or Services with information Twitter has from your Twitter account. If you interact with the Twitter plug-ins by, for instance, clicking on the “Twitter” icon, the information is also directly transmitted to Twitter’s servers and stored there. Twitter will publish this information on your Twitter account, and your contacts will receive notification of your activity.

If you have a Twitter account and wish to limit the collection of information about our Websites and Services and the aggregation of your user data with the information about you that Twitter maintains, please make sure that you log out of Twitter before visiting our Websites or using our Services.

You can prevent the loading of the Twitter plugins and restrict the data processing procedures described above also with add-ons for your browser, for example, with the script blocker Privacy Badger, available at https://www.eff.org/privacybadger.

We do not control Twitter and Twitter’s use of your Personal Information is subject to Twitter’s Privacy Policy. For more information on Twitter’s privacy policy, please go to https://twitter.com/privacy. Your use of Twitter is governed by Twitter’s privacy policy.

If you have a Twitter account, you can modify your privacy preferences in your account settings at https://twitter.com/account/settings.

16.5

Instagram Plug-Ins: Our Websites and Services link to Instagram (“Instagram”), which is a photo and video-sharing social network. An overview of the Instagram plugins and their appearance can be found at: http://blog.instagram.com/post/36222022872/introducing-instagram-badges. If you access pages on our Websites or through our Services that contain the Instagram icon, you will be referred to a page that the Company maintains on the Instagram website.

Certain pages of our Websites and portions of our Services may contain Instagram plug-ins. If you access a page on our Websites or through our Services that has an Instagram plug-in, your browser or device creates a connection to an Instagram server that interacts with the plug-in on the Website or presented by the Services by means of message in your browser or device. Information such as your IP address and which websites you have visited is then transmitted to Instagram servers. If you have an Instagram account and are logged into Instagram, Instagram will link the information described above to your personal Instagram user account. When you use the plug-in functions (for instance, if you click the “Instagram” icon), this information is also linked to your Instagram account. You can prevent this information being linked to your Instagram account by logging out of Instagram before you use the plug-in. If you do not want Instagram to add the information collected by your use of the Instagram plug-in on our Websites or Services to your Instagram account, you must either log out of Instagram prior to visiting our site or use an add-on or a script blocker to block the Instagram plug-in loading on our Websites or the device on which you are accessing the Services. Further information on the data collected and used by Instagram, your rights and privacy can be found in Instagram’s privacy policy located at https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875?helpref=page_content. We do not control Instagram. Instagram’s use of your Personal Information is subject to Facebook’s privacy policy for Instagram.
