E) Usage of cookies

If you only use our website for information purposes, i.e. if you do not register for any service or otherwise provide us with information – such as through a contact form – we shall only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you would therefore like to visit our website, we shall collect the data specified below, which are necessary for us on a technical level in order to display the website to you and to ensure its stability and security pursuant to Article 6(1), subparagraph 1(f) EU GDPR:     

• IP address
• data and time of the query
• time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
• content of the request
• access status / http status code
• the quantity of data transferred
• the website from which the request originated
• the browser used
• the operating system and its interface
• the language and version of the browser software

In addition to the data specified above, first and third party cookies will be stored on your computer when using our website; these are small text files, which are saved on your hard disk and allocated to the browser used by you. The operator that uses a cookie (this is done both by us and by the third parties specified below) obtains certain information from it. We require these cookies in the first instance in order to be able to recognise you as a website user and secondly to make our website more user-friendly. Finally, we use cookies for marketing purposes in order to analyse your usage and, if required, to provide you with targeted advertising.  

A basic distinction may be drawn between first party cookies, third party cookies and third party requests.

• First party cookies are saved by us or our website in your browser in order to offer you the best possible experience as a user. These include in particular functional cookies, such as for instance basket cookies.
• Third party cookies are saved by a third party provider in your browser. These normally include tracking or marketing tools, which assess your usage and also offer the third party provider the opportunity to recognise you on other websites you visit. In principal, practices such as for instance “retarget marketing” are based on the operation of these types of cookie.
• Third party requests mean all requests that you as a user of the pages submit to a third party through our website – for example if you use social network plugins or avail yourself of the services of a payment provider. In such cases, although we shall not save any cookies in your browser, it cannot be excluded that personal data may be transmitted to these third party providers as a result of the interaction. For this reason, we also inform you in detail in our Privacy Statement of the tools & applications used by us.

Our website(s) use(s) the following types of cookie, the scope and functioning of which are explained below: 

• Temporary cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These include in particular session cookies, which save a so-called session ID with which various queries from your browser can be allocated to the overall session. This makes it possible to recognise your computer again if you return to our website. These session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.
• Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a particular period of time, which may differ from cookie to cookie. However, you can delete cookies yourself in your browser settings at any time.

You can change your browser settings in such a manner as, for instance, to refuse to accept third party cookies or all cookies. Should you do so, we must however inform you that you may not be able to use all functions of our website.  
We also use cookies in order to be able to identify you on subsequent visits if you have an account with us – otherwise you will have to log in again each time you visit.  

F) Processing of your PD

The PD collected through the website will be processed in the main electronically. When doing so all necessary security precautions will be taken in order to minimise the risk of data destruction or loss (including accidental loss, unauthorised access, unlawful processing and processing that does not occur in accordance with the purposes for which the data were collected as stated in the General Data Protection Regulation).
However, as the data may be transmitted over electronic networks, the measures indicated cannot entirely limit/exclude the risk of unauthorised access to or processing of data. We therefore recommend that you check regularly whether your PC has software that offers appropriate protection for online transmissions (incoming and outgoing) of data (e.g. up-to-date antivirus software), and your internet provider has taken appropriate security precautions in order to ensure the secure online transmission of your data (e.g. firewall and protection against spam).
Any personal data beyond the information saved by cookies will only be processed by us if you voluntarily disclose such data to us, for example if you register with us, enter into a contractual relationship with us or otherwise establish contact with us. The relevant data will be comprised exclusively of contact data and information concerning the reason why you contacted us.  
We shall only use the personal data provided by you insofar as necessary in order to fulfil the relevant purpose of processing (e.g. registration, dispatch of the newsletter, order processing, sending information material and advertising, processing a prize competition, answering a question or enabling access to certain information) and permitted by law (in particular pursuant to Article 6 EU GDPR) (e.g. sending advertising and information material to existing customers).
Your data will be processed for the purpose of operating our website and for the timely provision of information specific to the undertaking as well as presenting our range of goods and services (marketing). Any further usage of your data shall only occur with your express prior consent. You may revoke your consent at any time, as specified in detail below.

G) Mandatory or voluntary provision of data requested

With the exception of data relating to your browsing activity – the provision and collection of which is regulated by our Cookie Policy – any data that is collected through our website in order to answer your enquiries, to provide information and for marketing purposes as well as to analyse your spending behaviour and preferences is provided at your own discretion and on a voluntary and optional basis. If you do not provide any data, this will not restrict your usage of the website. However, as a result it may not be possible for KE KELIT to answer your queries and requests for information or to send material, up-to-date information, newsletters and invitations to events organised by KE KELIT or its business partners.
