4. Data collection on our website

Cookies
We use cookies on our website that are either set by us or by third parties. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and saved by your browser. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. There are different types of cookies that are used for different purposes. Some cookies ensure that our services function properly or that you are recognised on your device after successful registration (“necessary cookies”). These cookies make it easier for you to visit our website and use the services provided. Other cookies are used to analyse user preferences and improve our offerings (“extended cookies”). These may be used for purposes such as tracking (e.g. interest- or behaviour-based profiling), remarketing, visit action evaluation, conversion measurement, reach measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of returning visitors), audience building and cross-device tracking. Non-essential cookies are only used with your consent. When you visit our website for the first time, a pop-up (“cookie banner”) will appear describing the individual cookies in more detail. You can allow or reject cookies according to your preferences and change your settings at any time. Please note that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. We therefore accept no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the content displayed. Depending on your browser settings, the following data may be processed when cookies are used: usage data (e.g. visited websites, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses), location data (data indicating the location of an end user’s device). If personal data is processed when using “necessary” cookies, this is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our legitimate interest in quality assurance and the technically flawless presentation of the website. The processing of personal data through the use of “extended cookies” is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Server log files
When you visit our website, the provider automatically collects technical data, such as browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of access and IP address. This data is stored for security reasons but is not merged with other data sources.
Contact form
If you contact us via the form, we store your details solely for the purpose of processing your enquiry. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data will not be shared without your consent.

Google Maps
Our website uses the map service Google Maps. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. To use Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to and stored on Google servers in the United States. We have no influence over this data transfer. The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings and easy location of our premises. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where consent is requested (e.g. via a cookie or consent tool), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be revoked at any time.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our website, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (parent company: Google LLC, USA). Cookies are used (see “Cookies” above) to create pseudonymised user profiles. The information generated by cookies (e.g. browser type/version, operating system, referrer URL, IP address, time of server request) is transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. This data is used to analyse website usage, compile reports and optimise our website. Your IP address is not merged with other Google data and is anonymised via IP masking. Data is only shared with third parties where legally required or processed by Google on our behalf. Processing takes place exclusively with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can disable cookies in your browser, which may result in limited website functionality. You can also prevent the collection and processing of data generated by cookies (including your IP address) by installing a browser add-on.

We use the Meta Pixel from Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. (provider of Facebook and Instagram).

Technical data such as IP address, device type, time of access and click behaviour may be processed. Processing only takes place if you have expressly consented in advance (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Please note that Meta may link this data to your user profile and use it for its own purposes. We have no influence over this. You can adjust settings for interest-based advertising directly in your Facebook or Instagram account. Further information: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.
