IP Addresses

The IP address is sent with each request so that the server knows where to send its responses. Every internet user receives an Internet address from an Internet Service Provider (ISP) as soon as they access the Internet. The ISP knows which IP addresses are used when and by which Internet user. The ISP is legally obliged to save this information.

Cookies

We use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files stored by a user's Internet browser on their hard drive when they visit a website. Most cookies are so-called "session cookies". These cookies do not damage the Internet user's hard drive and do not contain viruses. This data cannot be associated with individual users.

Use Of MATOMO - Web Analytics

We use the software "Matomo" (www.matomo.org) on this website, a service provided by InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand. The software sets a cookie (a text file) on your research, with which your browser can be recognized. If subpages of our website are called up, the following data is saved:

The user's IP address, shortened by the last two bytes (anonymized)
The subpage accessed and the time of access
The page from which the user came to our website (referrer)
Which browser is used with which plugins, which operating system, and which screen resolution
The length of time spent on the website
The pages that are accessed from the accessed subpage

The data collected with Matomo are stored on our own servers. It will not be passed on to third parties.

The legal basis on which we process personal data using Matomo is Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR.

Purpose of Data Processing

We need the data to analyze the surfing behavior of the users and obtain information about the use of the website's individual components. This enables us to optimize the website and its user-friendliness continuously. Our legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR is based on these purposes. By anonymizing the IP address, we take into account users' interests in the protection of personal data. The data is never used to personally identify the user of the website and is not merged with other data.

The data will be deleted when they are no longer required for our purposes.

With a click of the mouse, you can set the cookie setting so that tracking is deactivated again or not at all.

If you have given your consent to DEMICON, Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"), will be used on the page you visit. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and saved there.

On the DEMICON website, Google Analytics has been expanded to include IP anonymization "_anonymizeIp ()" to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking) and thus exclude a direct personal reference.

DEMICON uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage.

The use of Google Analytics takes place in accordance with the requirements on which the German data protection authorities agreed with Google. Third-party information: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001.

Use Of Google AdWords

This website uses Google AdWords, an online advertising program from Google Inc. ("Google") and, in this context, also conversion tracking (visitor activity evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). With conversion tracking, Google Adwords places a cookie on your computer ("conversion cookie") if you have reached our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 90 days and are not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of ours and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that someone clicked on the ad and was redirected to our site.

Every AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot, therefore, be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information that is obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics. Only the total number of users who clicked on one of our advertisements and were forwarded to a page with a conversion tracking tag is recorded. However, DEMICON does not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. The processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR from the legitimate interest in targeted advertising and the analysis of this advertising's effect and efficiency.

You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways: a) by setting your browser software accordingly; in particular, by suppressing third-party cookies, you will not receive any advertisements from third-party providers; b) by deactivating the cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain "googleadservices.com" are blocked, https://adssettings.google.de/, whereby this setting is deleted when you Delete your cookies; c) by deactivating the interest-based advertisements of the providers who are part of the self-regulation campaign "About Ads" via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies; d) by permanent deactivation in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We want to point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this offer to their full extent.

Our Activities in Social Networks

So that we can communicate with you in social networks and provide information about our services, we are represented there with our own pages. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR with regard to the processing operations triggered by this, which concern personal data.

We are not the original provider of these pages but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered by the respective provider.

As a precaution, we, therefore, point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use can therefore have data protection risks for you, as it can be more difficult to safeguard your rights, e.g., to information, deletion, objection, etc. and the processing in the social networks often takes place directly for advertising purposes or to analyze user behavior by the provider without this can be influenced by us. If the provider creates user profiles, cookies are often used, or the user behavior is assigned directly to your own member profile of the social networks.

The described processing of personal data takes place in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to communicate with you in a contemporary manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective provider, the legal basis refers to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR in conjunction with Article 7 GDPR.

Since we do not have any access to the data stocks of the providers, we would like to point out that it is best to apply your rights (e.g., to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly to the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in the social networks and the possibility of making use of your right of objection or revocation (so-called opt-out) is listed below for the respective social network provider we use:

Social Media Plugins

2-Click Solution

Social plugins from the providers listed below are used on our website. You can recognize the plugins by the fact that they are marked with the corresponding logo.

We prevent the unconscious and unwanted collection and transmission of data to the service provider with a 2-click solution. In order to activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding switch. Only when the plugin is activated is the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider triggered. We do not collect any personal data ourselves using the social plugins or their use.

We have no influence on which data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. It must currently be assumed that a direct connection to the provider's services will be established and that at least your IP address and device-related information will be recorded and used. There is also the possibility that the service provider will try to save cookies on the computer used. Which specific data is recorded and how it is used, please refer to the data protection information of the respective service provider.

We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website:

Facebook plugin
