Cookie Guidelines of Leichtfried GmbH & Co. KG (henceforth referred to as “Leichtfried Loden”), Zeltweg (as of 15.11.2020)

a) General information on the use of cookies

On various pages, we use cookies and pixels to optimize your experience on our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions. These are small text or image files that are stored on your computer or integrated into our website. These help to identify a user’s browsing behaviour and allow parts of the website or certain information to be adapted to your interests.

When using cookies/pixels, we distinguish between:

Necessary cookies (First Party cookies only):

These cookies are necessary to maintain communication, necessary functions and/or to provide information. These are set automatically and deleted after the end of the browser session or the scheduled time.

Essential cookies (First Party Cookies and Third Party Cookies):

These cookies remain on your computer for the time provided and ensure that Leichtfried Loden recognizes your computer the next time you visit the site and the settings and information you have provided, which saves you from filling out forms with your data again. These cookies are set when using the offered functionality or contain only general anonymous information about your access to the website (not to the content of the website), in order to later provide Leichtfried Loden additional information for statistical purposes about these accesses or to enable Leichtfried Loden to analyse navigation behavior (anonymous) on the website and thus make improvements.

Advertising cookies/pixels (Third Party Cookies)

These are cookies that are used to tailor our offer and services to your needs, interests and preferences, and to provide you with customized promotional offers. These will only be used after your consent, unless we are entitled to use them without consent.

b) Cookies/Pixels Used by Leichtfried Loden

In the following list we give you a comprehensive description of all cookies/pixels where personal data are used and what options you have.

  • Newsletter

If you sign up for our free newsletter, the data you enter for this purpose: your e-mail address, name and – optionally – your date of birth, will be transmitted. At the same time, we will store the IP address of the internet connection from which you accessed our website, as well as the date and time of your registration. As part of the registration process, we will obtain your consent to receiving the newsletter, describe the content in detail and refer to this data protection declaration. We use the data collected here exclusively for sending the newsletter – in particular, it will not be forwarded to third parties.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to receiving the newsletter at any time going forward in accordance with Art. 7 sec. 3 GDPR. To do so, you only need to inform us of your cancellation or use the unsubscribe link contained in each newsletter.

For newsletter mailing, we use MailChimp, a service of The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 512 Means Street, Suite 404, Atlanta, GA 30318, USA, hereinafter referred to only as “The Rocket Science Group”.

By certifying the EU-US Privacy Shield, The Rocket Science Group guarantees that EU data protection requirements are also adhered to when processing data in the US. In addition, The Rocket Science Group offers further data protection information under http://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/.

If you register to receive our newsletter, the data requested during the registration process, such as your email address and, optionally, your name and address, will be processed by The Rocket Science Group. In addition, your IP address, as well as the date and time of your registration are stored. As part of the further registration process, your consent to the sending of the newsletter is obtained, the content is specifically described and reference is made to this data protection declaration.

The newsletter, sent through The Rocket Science Group, contains a so-called tracking pixel, also called a “web beacon”. With the help of this tracking pixel, we can evaluate whether and when you have read our newsletter and whether you have followed the further links contained in the newsletter. In addition to other technical data, such as the data of your computer system and your IP address, the data processed is stored so that we can optimize our newsletter offerings and respond to the wishes of our subscribers. The data will therefore increase the quality and attractiveness of our newsletter offerings.

  • Contact Enquiries/ Contact Options

If you contact us via contact-form or e-mail, the data you provide will be used to process your request. The provision of the data is necessary for processing and responding to your request – without this provision, we cannot answer your request or at most to a limited extent.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted when your request has been answered or resolved and the deletion does not conflict with any legal retention requirements, such as in the event of any subsequent contract processing.

  • Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics in our website. This is a web analysis service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred only as “Google”.

By certifying the EU-US Privacy Shield, Google guarantees that the EU’s data protection requirements will also be complied with when processing data in the US.

The Google Analytics service is used to analyse the usage behaviour of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website.

Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visiting our website, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. With this feature, Google is already shortening its IP address within the EU or the EEA.

The data collected in this manner is again used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of the visits to our website as well as the related usage activities. This data may also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the internet.

Google states it will not connect your IP address to other data. In addition, Google provides you with further data protection information under https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners, e.g., on possible options to prevent the use of data.

In addition, Google offers a so-called deactivation add-on under https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de, along with further information. This add-on can be installed on most commonly used internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when accessing our website. The add-on informs the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that information about visiting our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services. Whether and which other web analysis services are used by us can of course also be found out in this data protection declaration.

  • Google AdWords with conversion tracking

In our website we use the advertising component Google AdWords and the so-called conversion tracking. This is a service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred only as “Google”.

By certifying the EU-US Privacy Shield, Google guarantees that EU data protection requirements are also adhered to when processing data in the US.

We use conversion tracking to target our offers. The legal basis is Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website.

If you click on an ad placed by Google, the conversion tracking used by us stores a cookie on your device. These so-called conversion cookies have an expiry of 30 days and are not for your personal identification.

If the cookie is still valid and you visit a certain page of our website, both we and Google can evaluate that you have clicked on one of our ads placed on Google and that you have subsequently been redirected to our website.

Based on the information obtained in this way, Google creates a statistic about visits to our website. In addition, we receive information about the number of users who have clicked on our ad(s) as well as about the pages of our website that are subsequently accessed. However, neither we nor third parties who also use Google AdWords will be able to identify you in this way.

You can also prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings of your internet browser. At the same time, you can delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on your specific internet browser. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your internet browser or contact its manufacturer for support.

  • Facebook Remarketing / Retargeting

Our pages include remarketing tags of the social network Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, hereinafter referred only as “Facebook”. When you visit our site, a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server is established via the remarketing tags. Facebook receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. This allows Facebook to assign the visit to our pages to your user account. We can use the information obtained in this way for the display of Facebook ads. We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the pages, do not receive any knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or their use by Facebook. For more information, see Facebook’s privacy statement at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy . If you do not want data collection via Custom Audience, you can deactivate Custom Audiences.

c) Revocation and Opposition Options

You can revoke your consent at any time and also object to the use with regard to those cookies/pixels that do not require consent, insofar as these are not necessary or deactivation is technically possible. However, we would like to point out that in the event of an objection, not all functions of the website can be made fully available. You have several options to object to the use of cookies/pixels or to revoke a consent already given.

Thus, most common browsers offer the possibility to prevent the use of cookies.

Browser extensions, such as Ghostery, allow you to deactivate individual cookies and control which cookies are set and which are not. The installation is simple, fast and is available for all major browsers.

In the case of “third party cookies”, the service providers used often offer deactivation options themselves.
