§ 5 Use of cookies

Cookies are small amounts of data that are transmitted from the Internet to your computer together with the data actually requested. This data is stored there and kept ready for later retrieval. DVV Media uses the following types of cookies for dvvmedia.com:

1. Session-Cookies:
   These are cookies that are only stored on your computer for the duration of an Internet session. These cookies are deleted after the session ends, i.e. after you leave the website or when you close the browser window.
   
   
2. Login cookies:
   In addition, a cookie is also used for user authentication. Different cookies can be used for this purpose: By default, cookies are used that are generated only for the respective session. They store information about the user name, user rights and the validity of the session.
   
   
3. Google-Re/Marketing Services:
   

   We use the marketing and remarketing services (hereinafter "Google Marketing Services") of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter "Google"). The legal basis for the processing is § 25 para.1 TTDSG.
   
   The Google Marketing Services allow us to display advertisements for and on our website in a more targeted manner in order to present users only with ads that potentially match their interests. If, for example, a user is shown ads for products he or she was interested in on other websites, this is referred to as "remarketing". For these purposes, when our website and other websites on which Google Marketing Services are active are called up, a code is executed directly by Google and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also referred to as "web beacons") are integrated into the website. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user's device (comparable technologies can also be used instead of cookies). The cookies can be set by various domains, including google.com, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. This file records which websites the user has visited, which content he is interested in and which offers he has clicked on, as well as technical information on the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information on the use of the online offer. The IP address of the user is also recorded, whereby we inform Google Analytics that the IP address is shortened within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases is transferred in full to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address is not merged with user data within other Google offerings. The aforementioned information may also be linked on the part of Google with such information from other sources. If the user subsequently visits other websites, he can be shown ads tailored to his interests.
   
   The user's data is processed pseudonymously within the framework of Google Marketing Services. This means that Google does not store and process the name or e-mail address of the user, for example, but processes the relevant data on a cookie basis within pseudonymous user profiles. This means that from Google's point of view, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie holder regardless of who this cookie holder is. This does not apply if a user has explicitly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The data collected by Google Marketing Services about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google servers in the USA.
   
   We may integrate third-party advertisements based on the Google Marketing Services Google Ad Manager. Google Ad Manager uses cookies that enable Google and its partner websites to serve ads based on users' visits to our website or other websites on the Internet.
   
   We may include third-party advertisements based on Google's "AdSense" marketing services. AdSense uses cookies to enable Google and its partner websites to serve ads based on users' visits to our website or other websites on the Internet.
   
   We may also use Google Tag Manager to integrate and manage Google's analytics and marketing services on our websites.
   
   For more information about Google's use of data for marketing purposes, please visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en, and Google's privacy policy can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. If you wish to object to interest-based advertising by Google Marketing Services, you can use the settings and opt-out options provided by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated?hl=en).

4. Google Analytics Cookies (data collection for optimization purposes):
   

   We use Google Analytics, a function of Google Analytics, including Google signals and the User ID function, after you have given your consent. You can revoke this consent at any time in the cookie settings. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google") and uses cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The legal basis for the processing is § 25 para.1 TTDSG.
   
   The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, since we have activated IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and only shortened there.
   
   Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. This website uses the Google Analytics reports on demographic characteristics, in which data from interest-based advertising from Google and visitor data from third-party providers (e.g. age, gender and interests) are used. This data can be deactivated at any time via the ad settings. Users' personal data is deleted or anonymized after 14 months.

In general, you also have the option of deleting cookies via the corresponding browser function and setting there how your browser should proceed with cookies. However, it should be noted that the use of the services may be impaired if cookies are generally rejected.

§ 6 Google Re-Captcha

In order to ensure sufficient data security when submitting forms, we use in certain cases the service reCAPTCHA of the company Google Inc. This serves primarily to distinguish whether the input is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing. The service includes the sending of the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. This is absolutely necessary information for the operation of our website in the sense of § 25 para.2 no. 2 TTDSG. The deviating data protection regulations of Google Inc. apply here. Further information on the data protection guidelines of Google Inc. can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Cookies are small text files that are stored locally in the cache of the website visitor's Internet browser. Cookies make it possible to recognize the Internet browser. The data collected with Matomo will not be used to personally identify the visitor to this website without the express consent of the person concerned and will not be merged with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym.
