Third Party Cookies

Use of Fair Analytics

Purpose and legal basis

The Fair Analytics tracking service is used on our website. No cookies are set in the process. Rather, Fair Analytics retrieves the IP address of the website visitor as well as information about the terminal device and browser used (e.g. the user’s device type, the operating system used, the screen resolution of the terminal device, and the user’s time zone). Furthermore, information about the use of the website is collected. Examples of this are web pages called up, length of stay on the website, the scroll position and clicks of the user. On this basis, a pseudonymous profile is formed about the use of the website, whereby the IP address is not stored permanently. 

The use of Fair Analytics serves the purpose of collecting information about the use of our website, in order to be able to better tailor the offer on our website to the interests of the visitors or to generally improve it on the basis of statistical evaluations.

The legal basis for this processing is your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Note on the italic text: Please note that as the responsible party, you are responsible for ensuring that there is a valid legal basis for the data processing carried out using Fair Analytics. If you are based in the EU, this is likely to be the consent of the respective website visitor. You can obtain the consent of the website visitor using a consent management tool. Please check the relevant laws that apply to the specific data processing (e.g. in the areas of data protection and telemedia) before using Fair Analytics, and adjust the information accordingly if necessary. 

Recipient of the data

The recipient of the data is our order processor Fair Analytics, Kolb & Neuhauser GbR, with whom we have concluded a corresponding order processing agreement.

Storage duration

Your data will only be processed in this context as long as the corresponding consent has been given.

Third country transfer

The data collected by Fair Analytics is not transferred to a third country.

Note: Please adjust this information accordingly if you yourself or, if applicable, your other service providers transfer the relevant data to a third country.

Provision prescribed or required

The provision of your personal data is voluntary, based solely on your consent. Without existing consent, we will not use the tracking service Fair Analytics.

Revocation of consent

You can revoke your consent to the use of Fair Analytics at any time with effect for the future. You can make this change in our Consent Tool. If you revoke your consent, we will immediately stop collecting data about the use of our website using Fair Analytics. 

Note: If necessary, please also adjust the place where the website visitor can revoke consent.

Profiling

With the help of the Fair Analytics tracking tool, the behavior of website visitors can be evaluated and interests analyzed in order to further improve our website and optimize it according to the actual interests of visitors. For this purpose, we create a pseudonymous user profile.

Note: As of 01.12.2021, the new Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG) will apply in Germany. Although Fair Analytics does not use cookies and completely anonymizes all personal user data, according to a legal opinion commissioned by us, you must obtain the consent of the users. The basis here is Section 25 of the TTDSG, according to which “access to information that is already stored in the terminal equipment” already requires the consent of the user.

Please adjust the term “Privacy Policy” accordingly if you use a different term. If necessary, please also adjust the place where the website visitor can revoke his or her consent.

Sample text: This website uses the Fair Analytics tracking tool, the purpose of which is to analyze website traffic. On this basis, we can further optimize our website. You can find more information about this in our privacy policy. In our Consent Tool, you can view your corresponding consent at any time and revoke it with just one click with effect for the future. We would be pleased if you would help us to further improve our offer for you by your consent to the processing of the data collected exclusively pseudonymously.
