Cookies

"Cookies" are small files that are stored on users' computers. Different information can be stored within the cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit to an online service. Temporary cookies, or "session cookies" or "transient cookies", are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online service and closes their browser. The content of a shopping cart in an online store or a login status can be stored in such a cookie, for example. Cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed are referred to as "permanent" or "persistent". For example, the login status can be saved if the user visits the website after several days. The interests of users can also be stored in such a cookie and used for reach measurement or marketing purposes. "Third-party cookies" are cookies that are offered by providers other than the controller who operates the online service (otherwise, if they are only their cookies, they are referred to as "first-party cookies").

We may use temporary and permanent cookies and explain this in our privacy policy.

  • Session cookie from the CMS system
  • Tracking cookie from Matamo (opt-out if activated)
  • Cookie notice

If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Saved cookies can be deleted in the browser's system settings. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online offer.

6. plugins and tools

YouTube / Google Maps

We do not embed YouTube videos and Google Maps directly. As soon as you start a YouTube video on our website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, YouTube can store various cookies on your end device after starting a video. With the help of these cookies, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to our website. This information is used, among other things, to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent fraud attempts. The cookies remain on your end device until you delete them.

After starting a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no influence.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Adobe Analytics (Omniture) / Adobe Marketing Cloud

Industrial Automation has integrated components of the company Adobe on this website. Adobe Analytics (Omniture) or the Adobe Marketing Cloud (hereinafter referred to as "Omniture") is a tool that enables more efficient online marketing and web analysis. Omniture is part of the Adobe Marketing Cloud. The Adobe Marketing Cloud enables real-time analysis of visitor flows on websites. The real-time analyses include project reports and allow ad-hoc analysis of website visitors. Customer interactions are presented in a way that provides the controller with a better overview of the online activities of the users of this website by displaying the data in simple and interactive dashboards and converting them into reports. This enables the controller to receive information in real time and to identify problems more quickly.

The operating company of these services is Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Republic of Ireland.

Omniture places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject (cookies have already been explained in advance; the relevant information can be found above). Industrial Automation uses a server setting to ensure that the tracking data records transmitted to the Adobe data center are anonymized before geolocalization. Anonymization is implemented by replacing the last part of the IP address. Industrial Automation has made settings on the server side that allow the IP address of the data subject to be anonymized independently of each other before processing for geolocation and reach measurement. Adobe will use the data and information obtained via our website on behalf of the controller to evaluate the user behavior of the data subject. Adobe will also use the data to create reports on user activities on our behalf and to provide other services for our company in connection with the use of our website. The IP address of the data subject is not merged with other personal data by Adobe.
