Furthermore, we use cookies so that you may use our website. Cookies are text files which are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on your computer system when you visit a website. A cookie contains a characteristic string of characters which permits an unambiguous identification of the browser when the website is revisited.

2. Processing for analyzes, advertising and remarketing purposes
For the purposes of marketing and remarketing we use the tools explained in the following.

We only process your personal data if you have given your consent to this. Legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) a GDPR. You can withdraw given consent for the future by clicking “Cookie settings” under “Cookie Policy” and changing your settings.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google LLC (“Google”).

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files which are stored on your computer and facilitate an analysis of your use of the website.

The information generated by cookies about your use of the website e. g.

  • Browser type/version (for example: Firefox 59.0.2 (64 bit))
  • Operating system used (for example: Windows 10)
  • Referrer
  • IP address
  • Time of access

is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The IP-address that your Browser conveys within the scope of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google. The IP-anonymization is active on this website to anonymize the collected information by truncating your IP address. Only in exceptional cases the whole IP address will be first transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. 
Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing them other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

Browser plugin

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. We would like to point out, however, that in this case you may possibly not be able to use all functions of this website to the full. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google as well as the processing of these data by Google by downloading the browser plugin available at the following link and installing it: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Further information on the handling of user data at Google Analytics is provided by the data protection policy of Google: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

IP anonymisation

We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. As a result, your IP address is abbreviated by Google within the Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website in order to compile reports on the website activities and to provide services associated with the use of the website and the use of the internet to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager from Google on our website. The Google Tag Manager is a solution using which advertisers can manage web page tags via a user interface. The Google Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-free domain and does not collect any personal data. The Google Tag Manager service facilitates the triggering of other tags which for their part may collect data under certain circumstances. Google Tag Manager does not access these data. If a deactivation was made at the domain or cookie level, it continues to exist for all tracking tags which are implemented using Google Tag Manager.

Firstly, only our employees receive knowledge of your personal data. In addition, we share your personal data with other recipients insofar as permitted or prescribed by law who provide services for us in connection with our website. We restrict the forwarding of your personal data to that which is necessary.

In the following we set out the categories of recipients of your personal data:

For example, as part of our legal obligation, we report quality defects in our products (e.g. complaints and counterfeits) to the state authorities responsible for the companies of the Klosterfrau Group. We report your data collected by us in the context of non-interventional studies or application observations within the framework of our legal obligations to the respective competent authorities, to which there is a reporting obligation.
