4. Cookies

We use so-called cookies in some areas of our website. Such file elements enable the identification of your computer as a technical unit while you visit in order to facilitate your use of our services - even during repeat visits.

However, your Internet browser generally gives you the option to edit your settings so that you are informed of the occurrence of cookies so that you can accept or reject them, as well as the option delete existing cookies.

Please refer to your Internet browser's help function to learn how to change these settings. Please note that some features of our website may not work if you have disabled the use of cookies.

Cookies do not allow a server to read private data from your computer or data stored by another server. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses.

We base the use of cookies on art. 6 par. 1 (f) GDPR: they are processed to improve the functioning of our website. It is therefore necessary to protect our legitimate interests.

5. Use of hCaptcha

We use the hCaptcha security service (hereinafter "hCaptcha") on our website. This service is provided by Intuition Machines, Inc., a Delaware US Corporation ("IMI"). hCaptcha is used to check whether user actions on our online service (such as submitting a login or contact form) meet our security requirements. To do this, hCaptcha analyzes the behavior of the website or mobile app visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website or mobile app visitor enters a part of the website or app with hCaptcha enabled. For the analysis, hCaptcha evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor has been on the website or app, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis will be forwarded to IMI. hCaptcha analysis in the "invisible mode" may take place completely in the background. Website or app visitors are not advised that such an analysis is taking place if the user is not shown a challenge.

Data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR: the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the website visitor is party (for example, the website terms) or in order to take steps at the request of the website visitor prior to entering into a contract. Our online service (including our website, mobile apps, and any other apps or other forms of access offered by us) needs to ensure that it is interacting with a human, not a bot, and that activities performed by the user are not related to fraud or abuse.

In addition, processing may also be based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR:
our online service has a legitimate interest in protecting the service from abusive automated crawling, spam, and other forms of abuse that can harm our service or other users of our service. IMI acts as a "data processor" acting on behalf of its customers as defined under the GDPR, and a "service provider" for the purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

6. Use of marketing cookies

We use Loopa Automate marketing and remarketing services ('Marketing Services' for short) from Signifi Media Pty Ltd, Suite 168, 580 Hay Street, Perth, 6000, Australia.

Marketing Services use cookies from the third parties listed below, which are stored on your computer and allow us to better target ads for and on our website, to show users only ads that may of interest to them. For example, if a user sees ads for products he has been interested in on other websites, this is referred to as 're-marketing.' For these purposes, when our and other websites on which Marketing Services are active are accessed, a code is immediately executed and so-called (re)marketing tags are integrated into the website.

Further data protection regulations of the Marketing Service Loopa and Signifi Media can be found under the following links:

7. Use of Google Marketing Services

We use the marketing and remarketing services ("Google Marketing Services" for short) of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Marketing Services use cookies that are stored on your computer and allow us to target ads for and on our site to show users only ads that may be of interest to them. For example, if a user sees ads for products he has been interested in on other websites, this is referred to as "re-marketing". For these purposes, when our and other websites on which Google marketing services are active are called up, a Google code is executed directly by Google and so-called (re)marketing tags are integrated into the website.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the US and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other countries that are contracting parties to the Agreement in the European Economic Area. The data of users are processed pseudonymously within the framework of Google marketing services. This means that Google does not store and process, for example, the names or email addresses of users, but processes the relevant data cookie-related within pseudonymous user profiles. This means from Google's point of view, 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 permitted Google to process the data without this pseudonymisation. The information collected by Google marketing services about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google's servers in the USA.

One of the Google marketing services we use is the online advertising program "Google AdWords". In the case of Google AdWords, each AdWords customer receives a different "conversion cookie". Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the website of Adwords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for the Adwords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Adwords customers can find out the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and been redirected to the page with a conversion tracking tag. However, advertisers do not obtain any information that can be used to personally identify users.

We may use the Google marketing service "DoubleClick" to integrate third-party advertisements. AdSense uses cookies to enable Google and its partner sites to serve ads based on users' visits to this site or other sites on the Internet.

We can also use the "Google Tag Manager" to integrate and manage Google analysis and marketing services into our website.

For more information about Google's use of data for marketing purposes, please see the overview page: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads, Google's privacy policy is available at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy

If you wish to object to interest-based advertising by Google marketing services, you can use the setting and opt-out options provided by Google: https://www.google.com/ads/preferences.

We base the use of the aforementioned marketing services on Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) GDPR.

8. Use of Matomo (formerly Piwik)

We use Matomo, an open source software for statistical analysis of user access.

Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files stored on your computer. These enable the analysis of your website use. The IP address of the users is shortened before it is stored, so that pseudonymous user profiles are created from the processed data.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this online offer is stored on our server and not passed on to third parties.

In addition, you can prevent Matomo from doing so by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie is then set which prevents further collection of your data when you visit this website.

We base the use of the aforementioned analysis tool on Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR: the processing takes place for the analysis of the usage behaviour and is therefore necessary to protect our legitimate interests.

We base the use of the aforementioned marketing services on Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) GDPR.

9. Use of Cloudflare

We use a Content Delivery Network (CDN), offered by Cloudflare, Inc. 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. Cloudflare is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European privacy legislation (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TORzAAO&status=Active)

A CDN is a service with the help of which contents of our online offer, in particular large media files, such as graphics or scripts, are delivered faster with the help of regionally distributed servers connected via the Internet. User data is processed solely for the aforementioned purposes and to maintain the security and functionality of the CDN.

We base the use of the aforementioned notification function on Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR: the processing takes place for the demand-oriented design of our website and is therefore necessary to protect our legitimate interests.

10. Use of Vimeo

We use the service of the third-party provider Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA, to display videos.

In order to display this content, it is necessary for third-party providers to become aware of the IP address.

Further information can be found in the third party's Privacy Policy at https://vimeo.com/privacy.

We base the use of the above-mentioned feature on Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR: the processing is carried out in order to design our website in line with users' needs and is therefore necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests.

11. Storage duration

The data stored by us will be deleted as soon as you revoke any consent or if the data is no longer required for its intended use and the deletion is not contrary to any legitimate interests or legal storage obligations.
