4. List of service providers

We maintain a list of all service providers which may work for our company within the context of a contract. The purpose of this list is to create transparency on the processing of your personal data. The lists shows the service providers which process or use personal data on our behalf according to contract. The list shows, among others, those manufacturers commissioned with delivery, the carriers commissioned with delivery, the companies commissioned to send our newsletters, and/or payment services commissioned to process payments. The service providers are named specifically if their main task is to collect, process and use personal data. Service providers whose primary task is not to process personal data, such as waste management companies for paper waste and electronic data carriers, are only named as service provider categories. The same applies to service providers only commissioned occasionally. You can object to having your data transmitted to the service providers on the list in specific cases along with an explanation. We will then review if your personal situation overrides your legitimate interest in excluding transmission. Please note, the list contains all of our service providers. However, this does not mean your data will generally be transmitted to all service providers. You will find the Willenbrock list of service providers here

5. Website

Our website uses cookies. You will find all information related to cookies here. You can change your cookie settings.

a. Google Analytics web analysis tool

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis tool of Google Ireland Limited, with registered office in Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called cookies. The information about your use of the website generated by the cookie is typically transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, by using IP anonymisation on this website, Google will truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other states which are party to the Treaty on the European Economic Area. The full IP address will only be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there in exceptions. Google will use this information on our behalf to analyse the use of the website, generate reports on website activities and to provide us with additional services related to website use and internet use.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can further prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing such data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can find more detailed information regarding the terms of use and data privacy at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/gb/.

b. Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager allows marketers to manage website tags through an interface. The Tag Manager itself which uses tags, however, does not use cookies and does not collect any personal data. The Tag Manager merely ensures other tags are triggered which then may collect data. Please refer to the privacy policies of the respective third-party services.

However, the Google Tag Manager does not use this data. If you have changed your settings or otherwise blocked cookies, this applies to all tracking tags used by the Google Tag Manager, meaning the tool does not change your cookie settings. Google may request your permission to transmit some product data (e.g. your account information) to other Google products to enable certain functions, e.g. to make it easier to add new conversion tracking tags for AdWords.

Furthermore, Google developers occasionally review information about product use to further optimise the product. However, Google will never transmit this type of data to other Google products without your consent.

For additional information, please refer to the Google Terms and the Google Privacy Policy for this product.

c. Adobe Typekit Web Fonts

This website uses so-called Web Fonts, provided by Adobe Typekit, to ensure a uniform display of fonts. When a web page is accessed, your browser adds the required web fonts in your browser cache in order to correctly display texts and fonts.

For this purpose the browser you are using must establish a connection to Adobe Typekit servers. This informs Adobe that our website was accessed from your IP address. Adobe Typekit Web Fonts are used in the interest of a uniform and appealing display of our online services.

Please always use these dialogue forms for your protection. When sending us unencrypted data in form of a standard, unsecured e-mail, sending your data over the internet holds the risk of unauthorised access and modification.
