Cookie usage

General
Cookies are small text files that are saved on your computer when an Online Offer is accessed. In case you access this Online Offer another time, your browser sends the cookies‘ content back to the respective seller and, thus, allows the re-identification of the terminal device. Reading the cookies allows us to design our Online Offers optimally for you and makes it easier for you to use them.

Deactivation and deletion of cookies
When visiting my internet pages you will be asked in a cookie layer pop up whether you wish to allow the cookies which are set on our page or if you wish to deactivate them in the settings.
In case you decide to block cookies, an opt out cookie is set in your browser. This cookie exclusively serves the purpose of assigning your objection. Deactivating cookies may disable individual functions of our internet pages. Please note that an opt out cookie may, for technical reasons, only be set with the actual browser. In case you delete cookies or use a different browser or a different terminal device, you must opt out again.

Your browser allows you to delete any cookies at all times. To do so, please consult your browser’s help functions. This might, however, lead to individual functions no longer being available.

Overview of cookies used by me
In this section, please find an overview of the cookies we use.

Analytical cookies
We use analytical cookies to record the usage behavior (e.g. ad banners clicked on, search queries put in) of our users and to evaluate it statistically.

Advertisement cookies
We also use cookies for advertisement purposes. The usage behavior profiles created with such cookies (e.g. ad banners clicked on, visited subpages, search queries entered) are used to show you advertisements or offers that are tailored to your interests („interest based advertisement“).

Conversion cookies
Our conversion tracking partners set a cookie on your computer („conversion cookie“) in case you entered our website through an advertisement of the respective partner. These cookies generally lose their validity after 30 days. In case the cookie has not yet expired, we and the respective conversion tracking partner can see that a particular user clicked the ad and was forwarded to our page. Information gathered through the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics and to determine the total number of users who clicked the respective ad and were referred to a page provided with a conversion tracking tag.

Tracking cookies in connection with social plugins
Some pages of our Online Offers integrate contents and services from other providers (e.g. Facebook, Twitter) who may in turn use cookies and active components. We are unable to influence the processing of personal data done by these providers. Find more details on social plugins in the Social Plugins section.

Web analysis
We need statistical information about the usage of our Online Offers to design them to be more user-friendly, to perform range measurements and market research.
For this purpose, we use the web analysis tools described in this section.
The usage profiles created by these tools using analysis cookies or by evaluating log files are not brought together with personal data. The tools either do not use user IP addresses at all or shorten them immediately after gathering them.
The tool sellers process data only as processors subject to our directives and not for their own purposes.
In the following please find information on each tool seller and how you are able to object to the collection and processing of data by the tool.
Be advised that with regard to tools which use opt out cookies, the opt out function is related to that individual device or browser. In case you use several terminal devices or browsers you must opt out on every device and with every browser used.
Beyond this, you can avoid the forming of usage profiles by generally deactivating cookie usage. Please refer to the section Deactivate and delete cookies.

Google Analytics uses „cookies“, which are text files placed on your computer to help the website analyse how visitors use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States . Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

You may object to the collection or processing of your data by using the following link to download and install a browser plugin: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

Or you may object to the collection or processing of your data by using the following links:

Social Plugins

In our Online Offers we use so-called social plugins from various social networks. They are individually described in this section.

When using plugins, your internet browser creates a direct connection to the respective social networks’ server. This way, the respective provider receives the information that your internet browser accessed from the respective site of our Online Offers – even if you do not have a user account with this provider or are currently not logged into your account. Log files (including the IP address) are, in this case, directly transmitted from your internet browser to a server of the respective provider and might be stored there. The provider or its server may be located outside the EU or the EEA (e.g. in the United States).

The plugins are standalone extensions by social network providers. For this reason, we are unable to influence the scope of data collected and stored by them.

Purpose and scope of the collection, the continued processing and usage of data by the social network as well as your respective rights and setting options to protect your privacy can be found by consulting the respective social network’s data protection notices.

In case you do not wish social network providers to receive and, if applicable, store or use data, you should not use the respective plugins.

121 By using the so-called two click solution (provided by Heise Medien GmbH & Co. KG) we protect your visit to our web pages from being logged and processed by social network providers by default. When using a page of our internet presence which contains such plugins, these are initially deactivated. Only when you click on the respective button, the plugins are activated.

Facebook plugins

Facebook is operated under www.facebook.com by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, and under www.facebook.de by Facebook Ireland Limited, Hanover Reach, 5-7 Hanover Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland („Facebook“).

YouTube

Our Online Offers use the YouTube video platform which is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave. San Bruno, CA 94066, USA („YouTube”). YouTube is a platform which allows the playback of audio and video files.

When you access a respective site of our Online Offers that contains an embedded YouTube player, this creates a connection to YouTube so that the video or audio file can be transmitted and played back. In doing so, data is transferred to YouTube as a data processor. We are not responsible for the processing of such data by YouTube.

Additional information on the scope and purpose of collected data, on further processing and usage of data by YouTube, on your rights and the privacy options available to be chosen by you, can be found in YouTube’s data protection notice.

Usage of retargeting tools

For the purpose of optimizing our online marketing we use so-called retargeting technologies. This is to design a more interesting Online Offer for you, which is tailored to your needs. To do so, we use the tools listed below.

The usage profiles compiled with help of advertisement cookies or third party advertisement cookies, so-called web beacons (invisible graphics which are also called pixels or counting pixels) or comparable technologies, are not brought together with personal data.

The tools are used by the providers to show our users in our Online Offers and in third party offers interest-based advertisements and to control the frequency in which       users see certain advertisements. The provider of the respective tool is responsible for the data processing in connection with the tools. The tool providers eventually transfer information to third parties for abovementioned reasons.

The tools either do not process user IP addresses at all or shorten them immediately after collecting the data.

With each tool you can find information on the tool provider as well as information on how to object to the data collection by this tool.

Be advised that with regard to tools which use opt out cookies, the opt out function is related to that individual device or browser. In case you use several terminal devices or browsers you must opt out on every device and with every browser used.

Beyond this, you can avoid the forming of usage profiles by generally deactivating cookie usage. Please refer to the section Deactivate and delete cookies.

Further information on interest-based advertising may be found on the consumer portal http://www.meine-cookies.org. The following link to the portal additionally enables you to view the activation status of certain tools provided by different providers and to object to the collection and processing of your data by these tools: http://www.meine-cookies.org/cookies_verwalten/praeferenzmanager-beta.html.
