Web analytics using pseudonymised user profiles
We use web analytics tools for various purposes on our website. You can find information on the web analytics tools we use below, including a description of the data processing in question, the purposes of that processing and how you can prevent the web analytics tool from collecting and processing your data. Please note that placing opt-out cookies can only prevent the collection and processing of your data by web analytics tools to a limited extent. You can find more information about this in the section on cookies.

Web analytics tool: Adobe Analytics (Omniture)
In order to carry out marketing and market research and tailor our website (and potentially newsletter) appropriately, we use analytics cookies and/or JavaScript to collect and process usage data relating to your visit to our website and your use of links in the newsletter (if applicable). Your usage data is collected and a usage profile is generated from this data on a pseudonymised basis, using a cookie ID. Your IP address is either not recorded or is anonymised immediately after recording as part of this.
We use the Adobe Analytics service provided by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Ltd., 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Park, Dublin 24, Ireland ("Adobe") to collect the usage data and generate the usage profiles. The information relating to your use of our website is transferred to Adobe servers, analysed and solely returned to us as cumulative data. This data allows us to identify trends in how the website is generally used.
We do not conflate the resultant usage profiles with your name or any other details that could disclose your identity, such as your e-mail address. We are permitted to process data in this context by law (article 6(1f) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679). The usage data is stored by the service used for a maximum duration of 37 months from the date on which it was collected.

Opt-out: Please use Adobe's opt-out website if you wish to prevent your usage data being collected. You can find information about how Adobe Analytics cookies work and the opt-out option via the following link: http://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/opt-out.html.

Web analytics tool: Adobe Test & Target
In order to tailor our website (and newsletter) appropriately, we collect and process usage data relating to your visit to our website using analytics cookies and/or JavaScript. Your usage data is collected and a usage profile generated from this data on a pseudonymised basis using a cookie ID.
We use the Adobe Test & Target service provided by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Ltd., 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Park, Dublin 24, Ireland ("Adobe") to collect your usage data and generate the usage profiles.
Adobe Test & Target works on the basis of A/B tests. This means that the person using our website is shown a different version of the website from the original (e.g. with altered design and content). Comparing both versions provides us with information about which version of our website is preferred by users. When Adobe Test & Target is used, the only information relating to you that is processed cannot be used to identify you. IP anonymisation is also activated, meaning that your IP address is shortened before Adobe Test & Target carries out any further processing. We do not conflate the usage profiles resulting from this with your name or any other details that could disclose your identity, such as your e-mail address.
We are permitted to process data in this context by law (article 6(1f) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679). The usage data is stored by the service used for a maximum duration of 37 months from the date on which it was collected.

Web analytics tool: ChannelSight
You can purchase a large number of our products directly via the corresponding hyperlinks to cooperating dealers' online stores ("Go to dealer's website"). We use tracking pixels and cookies (i.e. conversion tracking) to log when you are redirected to the respective product page in the dealer's online store, as well as whether or not you purchase the product in the dealer's online store. The usage data collected in this way is used to gauge the appeal of the "Go to dealer's website" function and, where applicable, for commission settlement purposes with the dealer's online store (i.e. affiliate marketing). Sometimes dealers' online stores pay us a commission when we successfully redirect prospective buyers and customers to them.
We use the service provider ChannelSight Ltd., Suite 3, Anglesea House, Carysfort Ave., Blackrock, Co. Dublin, Ireland (www.channelsight.com) for tracking purposes. The information relating to your use of the "Go to dealer's website" function is transmitted to ChannelSight servers, analysed and solely returned to us as cumulative data, which illustrates trends relating to use of the "Go to dealer's website" function.
Please note that the aforementioned tracking is directly connected to the "Go to dealer's website" function. By using the "Go to dealer's website" button on our website, you give your consent to tracking for the indicated purposes, and in particular to the associated data collection by ChannelSight and the dealer, as well as the transfer of data from ChannelSight and the dealer to us. We are permitted to process your information in this context with your consent (article 6(1a) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679). The usage data is deleted once it is no longer required for commission settlement and analysis.

Opt-out: If you no longer want tracking to take place, delete the cookies placed by our website (via the settings in your internet browser) and do not use the "Go to dealer's website" button again. You can manually visit the respective dealer's online store by entering their address in your browser or by using a search engine.

We use service provider Mouseflow ApS, Flaesketorvet 68, 1711 Copenhagen, Denmark for the purpose of collecting this usage data.
We do not conflate the resultant usage profiles with your name or any other details that could disclose your identity, such as your e-mail address.

Sharing content on social networks
Content from our website can be shared on social networks using integrated social media buttons. All social media buttons that facilitate the sharing of content are integrated using simple hyperlinks rather than social plugins developed by social network providers. This ensures that your details are not automatically transmitted to social network servers as soon as you access our website. In addition, when you share content from our website we only transmit the information to the social network that is required to share the relevant content. We do not transfer personal data in this context.
At the same time, simple links to our websites on social networks can be found as well. If you follow a link from our website to a social network, or if you log in to your social network in order to share content from our website, your data is processed by the provider of the social network in question. For information about the purpose and scope of data collection, further processing and use by the social network provider, as well as your associated rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the Data Protection Information made available by the respective provider.

Dealer search using Google Maps
One feature available to you as a user of our website is a map showing cooperating dealers in your area. We use Google Maps to display this map. Google Maps is a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. You can find details on how personal data is processed when Google Maps is used via the following link: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
If you wish to display cooperating dealers in your area you will need to specify a location, either by entering your location manually or having it determined by the geolocation function on your internet browser automatically. Personal data is not processed if you enter this information manually, provided you do not specify your home address. Automatic location identification using the geolocation function on an internet browser requires your IP address to be processed. We are permitted to process your information in this context with your consent (article 6(1a) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679), which your internet browser requests when you access the map. We do not store your IP address in this context.

The service providers we use to implement and operate our website are:
• Service provider for hosting services
• Service provider for programming services
• Service provider for sales and marketing services
