Like many other websites, we also use ‘cookies’. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically provides us with certain data such as IP address, browser used, operating system and your connection to the Internet.

Cookies cannot be used to launch programs or transfer viruses to a computer. By using the information contained in cookies, we can make it easier for you to navigate the site and ensure that our web pages are displayed correctly.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (hereinafter: Google). Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, i.e. text files placed on your computer to enable an analysis of how you use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is normally transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. Due to the activation of IP anonymization on these web pages, Google will truncate your IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other countries to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. The full IP address is only sent to and shortened by Google servers in the US in exceptional cases. On behalf of the operators of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activities and providing other services relating to use of the website and Internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the scope of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google.

The purpose of the data processing is to evaluate website usage and to compile reports on activities on the website. Additional associated services are then to be provided on the basis of the use of the website and the Internet. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.

You may prevent cookies from being stored via the appropriate browser settings; however, please note that in this event you may not be able to use all of the functions of this website to the full extent. In addition, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: Browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics.

Embedded YouTube videos

We embed YouTube videos on some of our web pages. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. Visiting a page with the YouTube plugin establishes a connection to YouTube servers. During this process, YouTube is informed of which pages you are visiting. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your surfing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by first logging out of your YouTube account.

When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.

If you have deactivated the storage of cookies for the Google Ad program, you do not need to expect any such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you wish to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser.

More information on data protection at YouTube can be found in the provider's privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Social Plugins

We offer you the option of using ‘social media buttons’ on our website. These buttons are integrated within the website as a graphic that contains a link to the corresponding website of the button provider. By clicking on the graphic, you will thus be redirected to the services of the provider in question. Only then will your data be sent to the respective providers. If you do not click on the graphic, there is no exchange between you and the providers of the social media buttons. Information on the collection and use of your data on social networks can be found in the terms of use of the respective providers.

Google AdWords

Our website uses Google conversion tracking. If you have accessed our website via an ad placed by Google, Google AdWords will store a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across AdWords customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can reject the storing of a cookie required for this - i.e. via a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies or by setting your browser in such a way that cookies from the domain "googleleadservices.com" are blocked.

Please note that you may not delete the opt-out cookies if you do not want any analysis data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must store the respective opt-out cookie again.

Our website gives you the option of registering for our newsletter and thus always being kept in the loop. To register for this service, we need your email address, your first and last name as well as your consent. By registering, you give us permission to send you information and promotional material in connection with the Stollen Lucerne Data Center. We store the collected data and your consent in the customer database as well as directly in the newsletter tool SendGrid. You have the option of revoking this at any time via the unsubscribe link in the newsletter.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy so that it always meets the current legal requirements or to reflect changes to our services in it, e.g. when new services are introduced. The new Privacy Policy then applies for your next visit.
