Privacy Policy
We have created this privacy policy (version 14.08.2019-211099920) to explain, in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the Data Protection Act (DSG), what information we collect, how we use the data, and what choices visitors to this website have.
Unfortunately, these explanations tend to be quite technical. However, we have done our best to describe the most important aspects as clearly and simply as possible.
AUTOMATIC DATA STORAGE
When you visit websites, certain information is automatically created and stored, including on this website.
For example, when you visit our website, our web server (the computer hosting this website) automatically stores data such as:
- the address (URL) of the visited page
- browser and browser version
- the operating system used
- the address (URL) of the previously visited page (Referrer URL)
- the hostname and IP address of the device accessing the website
- the date and time
- in files (web server log files).
Typically, web server log files are stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted, unless there is a legal reason to retain them, such as an ongoing criminal investigation.
COOKIES
Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data. Below, we explain what cookies are and why we use them, to make this privacy policy easier to understand.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Whenever you browse the internet, you use a browser. Well-known browsers include Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge. Most websites store small text files in your browser. These files are called cookies.
One thing is clear: cookies are really useful helpers. Almost every website uses cookies. More precisely, we are referring to HTTP cookies, as there are other types of cookies for different purposes. HTTP cookies are small files stored on your computer by our website. These cookie files are automatically placed in the 'brain' of your browser, called the cookie folder. A cookie consists of a name and a value. When defining a cookie, one or more attributes must also be specified.
Cookies store certain user data from you, such as language preferences or personal page settings. When you return to our website, your browser sends the 'user-related' information back to our website. Thanks to cookies, our website knows who you are and provides you with your usual default settings. In some browsers, each cookie is stored in a separate file, while in others, such as Firefox, all cookies are stored in one file.
There are first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created directly by our website, while third-party cookies are created by partner websites (e.g., Google Analytics). Each cookie must be evaluated individually, as each cookie stores different data. The expiration time of a cookie varies from a few minutes to several years. Cookies are not software programs and do not contain viruses, trojans, or other 'malicious' content. Cookies also cannot access information on your PC.
For example, cookie data might look like this:
- Name: _ga
- Expiration: 2 years
- Usage: Differentiation of website visitors
- Example value: GA1.2.1326744211.152211099920
A browser should support the following minimum requirements:
- A cookie must be able to contain at least 4096 bytes.
- At least 50 cookies should be allowed per domain.
- A browser should support the storage of at least 3000 cookies.
WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE THERE?
The question of which cookies we specifically use depends on the services used, which we will explain in the following sections of this privacy policy. At this point, we would like to briefly explain the different types of HTTP cookies.
There are four types of cookies:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary to ensure basic website functions. For example, these cookies are needed when a user adds a product to the shopping cart, then browses other pages and later proceeds to checkout. Without these cookies, the shopping cart would be deleted when the user closes the browser window.
- Functional Cookies: These cookies collect information about user behavior, such as whether a user receives error messages. These cookies also measure loading time and website performance on different browsers.
- Targeted Cookies: These cookies improve user-friendliness. For example, they store inputted locations, font sizes, or form data.
- Advertising Cookies: These cookies are also called targeting cookies. They serve to deliver personalized ads. While this can be very useful, it can also be very annoying.
Typically, you will be asked the first time you visit a website which of these cookie types you would like to allow. Of course, this decision is also stored in a cookie.
HOW CAN I DELETE COOKIES?
How and whether you want to use cookies is entirely up to you. Regardless of which service or website the cookies come from, you always have the option to delete cookies, allow only certain ones, or disable them. For example, you can block third-party cookies but allow all other cookies.
If you want to see which cookies are stored in your browser, or if you want to change or delete your cookie settings, you can find and implement this in your browser settings:
Chrome: Delete, enable, and manage cookies in Chrome
Safari: Manage cookies and website data in Safari
Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data stored by websites on your computer
Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies
Microsoft Edge: Delete and manage cookies
If you generally do not want any cookies, you can configure your browser to notify you whenever a cookie is about to be set. You can then decide whether to allow each individual cookie or not. The procedure varies depending on the browser. It’s best to search for instructions on Google with the search term 'delete cookies Chrome' or 'disable cookies Chrome' for a Chrome browser or replace 'Chrome' with the name of your browser (e.g., Edge, Firefox, Safari).
WHAT ABOUT MY PRIVACY?
Since 2009, there have been so-called 'cookie regulations.' These state that storing cookies requires the consent of the website visitor (i.e., you). However, EU countries have different approaches to implementing this regulation. In Austria, this regulation was implemented in § 96 Abs. 3 of the Telecommunications Act (TKG).
If you would like to know more about cookies and don't mind reading technical documentation, you can find more information in the Request for Comments from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) titled 'HTTP State Management Mechanism.'
