SCOPE

Visitors of this website receive information about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of their personal data with this data privacy and cookie policy.


COLLECTION OF GENERAL INFORMATION FOR THE OPERATION OF THIS WEBSITE

Every access to this website generates an automatic data collection by WLX or the hosting provider of this website. This information, also known as server log files, is of a general nature and does not allow any drawing conclusions to your person.
When our website is visited, the following data is recorded at every access: name of the displayed website, date, transferred data volume, web browser and web browser version, operating system, the domain name of your internet provider, the so-called referrer URL (the respective page from which you were forwarded to our website) and the deposited IP address.
Without these data it would not be technically possible to deliver and display the contents of the website. Therefore, the collection of this specific data is necessary for the operation of our website. We also use this anonymous information for statistical purposes. This allows us to continuously optimize our offering.


HANDLING OF PERSONAL DATA

Personal data is all information that uniquely identifies a person («Data Subject»). This data can be used to trace a person. These include first name and surname, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. Personal data also includes information on websites accessed. At WLX this data is only collected and used if the person has specifically and deliberately consented to it.


COOKIES

This website uses so-called cookies. These are text files that are stored on your computer by the server. This type of data will not be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your explicit consent. Cookies have two main functions. They help us to enable secure navigation and help us to display the website correctly. They will under no circumstances be used to infiltrate any code or start programs on your device.

We, or third-party providers linked to our website, use cookies as follows:

  • To record your IP address (which is shortened before any analysis)
  • To identify the operating system of the device or computer you are using and the type of tablet or smartphone you are using to access our website
  • To monitor website performance and improve our website and services
  • To determine whether you have visited our website at least once, so that we can anonymously and statistically determine the number of visitors who have visited our websites
  • To customize elements of the layout and/or content of the pages of our website
  • To monitor and use features and services, traffic, demographic trends and browser versions
  • To collect anonymous statistical information about the use of the website by our visitors (e.g. how much time visitors have spent on the website and which pages they have visited) and from where visitors have navigated to our website. With this information we can optimize the website and determine which parts are most popular with our visitors and thus better tailor offers to our customers.

As a visitor of our website, you have the option of accessing our website without cookies. To do this, the corresponding settings must be changed in the browser. Please inform yourself about the help function of your browser, how cookies are deactivated. However, we would like to point out that some functions of this website may be affected and the user comfort may be restricted. The pages http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ (USA) and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/ (Europe) allow you to manage online ad cookies.


INTEGRATION OF THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND CONTENT

Occasionally we offer content and services of other providers. These can be, for example, videos from YouTube as well as content such as graphics and images from other websites. In order this content can be called up and displayed in the visitor’s browser, the transmission of the IP address by WLX to these third-party providers is necessary. We make every effort to use only services of third parties which only need the IP address in order to be able to deliver content. However, we have no further influence whether the IP address is possibly stored. If this data is stored, it is usually used for statistical purposes. If we are aware of the IP address being stored by these third-party providers, we will point this out to our visitors.


USE OF GOOGLE ANALYTICS

Our website uses Google Analytics - a web analysis service of Google Inc. (Address: Google Inc, Mountain View, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google Analytics uses "cookies", the text files described above, which are stored on your computer to enable an analysis of the use of the website. The information generated by these cookies about the visitors use of our website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will be previously shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and only shortened there.
On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate the entire use, including yours. This is used to compile reports on website activities in order to provide the website operator with further services associated with website use and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data processing. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.
You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-On.

Facebook Pixel, Custom Audiences and Facebook Conversion

Due to our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer and for these purposes the so-called "Facebook pixel" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, if you are based in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"), is used within our online offer.

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able to determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the presentation of ads (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads we post only to Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain features (e.g. interests in certain topics or products that are determined by the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "custom audiences"). We also want to use the Facebook pixel to ensure that our Facebook ads meet the potential interest of users and are not a nuisance. The Facebook pixel also helps us understand the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by showing whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion").

Facebook processes the data in accordance with Facebook's Data Usage Policy. Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook ads can be found in the Facebook Data Usage Policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. For specific information and details about the Facebook pixel and how it works, please visit the Facebook Help section: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.

You can object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and use of your data to display Facebook ads. To set what types of ads you see within Facebook, you can visit the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions on usage-based advertising settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.


FACEBOOK SOCIAL PLUG-IN

We integrate on our website plug-ins of the social network Facebook (Address: Facebook, Headquarters, 1 Hacker Way Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA). You can recognize the plug-in by the “Like” button (I like it) or by the logo of Facebook (you can find an overview here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins)
If you call one of our websites with Facebook plug-in, a direct connection is established with Facebook. We have no influence on the type and scope of data that is then collected, stored and processed by Facebook. We can only inform you according to our level of knowledge.
Facebook will be informed by the plug-in that you have accessed the corresponding website of our offer. This also applies to users who are not registered on Facebook. In this case, Facebook may store the IP address.
If you are a member of Facebook and logged in, calling up a website with the Facebook plug-in can be clearly assigned to your Facebook user’s account. In addition, the plug-ins transmit all interactions if you use the “Like” button or leave a comment, for example.
To prevent Facebook from storing information about you, please log out of Facebook before visiting our websites. You can also block the plug-ins with browser add-ons (e.g. "Facebook Blocker").

We integrate the Google+ social plug-in (Google plus) on our websites, recognizable by the "G+" sign. The plug-in is provided by Google Inc (Address: 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).
When you call up a web page with “Google+” button, a connection to the Google servers is established. Google transmits the content of the button and integrates it on the corresponding website. At the same time, Google receives information about which page has just been accessed. According to Google, personal data is only collected when the “Google+” button is clicked. For members of Google+ who are logged in, the following applies: Google stores and processes at least the IP address even without interaction. We have no influence on the extent of the data stored in this context.
Users of Google+ who are logged into their account can recommend our websites by clicking on the "G+" button. In this case, Google not only stores the IP address and browser, but also the content for which “G+” was given, and the page. This information is stored in the user's profile and can be displayed along with the user's profile name and image in Google Services, which include search results. Google uses the data to optimize its own services, among other things. Google's privacy policy and privacy settings can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Members of Google Plus who do not want their data to be collected and stored via our websites should log out of their Google+ account before visiting our site.
