Our website contains links to external websites, operated by third parties, over whose content we have no influence. We therefore accept no guarantee for this third-party content.

Scope

This privacy policy explains to the user the nature, scope and purposes of the collection and use of personal data by the responsible provider, Kostad Steuerungsbau GmbH, on this website.

Access data / server log files

Kostad Steuerungsbau GmbH (or its web space provider) collects data about each time the offer is accessed (so-called server log files). The access data includes:

name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, user’s operating system, referrer URL (previously visited page), IP address and requesting provider.

Handling personal data

If you request brochures and information material or manuals, your data will be stored to enable us to carry out the information and send you any material.

We will continue to store your data so that we can inform you about interesting offers in areas that may be of interest to you in the future. You may naturally revoke this consent at any time.

Establishing contact

When establishing contact with Kostad Steuerungsbau GmbH (e.g. via the contact form or by e-mail), the user’s details are stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and to handle any follow-up questions which may arise.

Integration of third-party services and content

It may happen that contents of third parties, such as videos from YouTube, map material from Google Maps or graphics from other websites, are integrated within this online offer. The condition here is always that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) are able to see the IP address of the users as, without this, they would not be able to send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required for any such content to be displayed. We endeavour to use only content from providers who only use the IP address for distributing the content. However, we have no influence over whether the third-party providers store the IP address for statistical purposes, for example. As far as this is known to us, we will inform the users thereof.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that make it possible to store specific information related to the device on the user’s access device (PC, smartphone, etc.). They cannot be used to read other data on the computer. On the one hand, they help ensure the user-friendliness of websites and thus benefit the users (e.g. storage of login data). On the other hand, they serve to collect statistical data on the use of the website and enable the analysis thereof in order to improve the offer. Users can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers have an option that restricts or completely prevents cookies from being stored. It is pointed out, however, that use of the website as well as convenience will be limited without cookies.

You can manage many online ad cookies from companies via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/.

Usage information on Google Analytics

This offer makes use of Google Analytics, a website analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files that are stored on the user’s computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by the user is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, the user’s IP address will be truncated by Google in advance within Member States of the European Union or in other Contracting States to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases shall the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA to be truncated there. IP anonymisation is active on this website. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse use of the website by the users, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator.

No connection shall be established between the IP address sent by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics and any other Google data. The users can prevent the storage of cookies by making corresponding changes to their browser settings; however, please note that in this case the users may not be able to use all functions of this website to the full extent. In addition, the users may prevent the collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the website (including their IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available via the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

As an alternative to the browser add-on or within browsers on mobile devices, please click on this link to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data from this website in the future. An opt-out cookie is stored on your device. If you delete your cookies, you must click on this link again.

Google ADS

We use the online advertising program „Google AdWords“ and within Google AdWords the conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; „Google“). When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your computer. These cookies expire after 30 days, do not contain any personal information, and are not personally identifiable.

If you visit certain pages on our site and the cookie hasn’t expired, Google and we may recognize that you clicked on the ad and were directed to that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. As a result, there is no way that cookies can be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers.

The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking, which tells them the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and been redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you may refuse to accept cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, such as turning off automatic cookie submission. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the „googleadservices.com“ domain.

Using Facebook social plug-ins

This offer uses social plug-ins (“plug-ins”) from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The plug-ins may be identified by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on a blue tile, the terms “Like”, “Gefällt mir” or a “thumbs up” sign) or are marked with the addition text “Facebook social plug-in”. The list and appearance of the Facebook social plug-ins can be seen here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

When a user accesses a website of this offer that contains such a plug-in, their browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook’s servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated into the website by it. Kostad Steuerungsbau GmbH therefore has no influence on the extent of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plug-in and therefore informs the user according to its level of knowledge:

By integrating the plug-ins, Facebook is notified that a user has opened the corresponding page of the offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to their Facebook account. If users interact with the plug-ins, for example by clicking the “Like” button or commenting, the corresponding information is transferred directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, it is still possible for Facebook to become aware of and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only anonymous IP addresses are stored in Germany.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the related rights and setting options to protect the privacy of users, can be found in Facebook’s privacy notice: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

 If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about them via this offer and link it to their stored member data on Facebook, they must log out of Facebook before visiting the website. Further settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes are possible in Facebook’s profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.

Using Instagram social plug-ins

On our website we use the Instagram plugin, which is operated by Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Instagram”), on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. The plug-ins are marked with an Instagram logo, for example in the form of an “Instagram camera”. If you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin and activate it with a click, your browser establishes a direct connection to Instagram’s servers. With the click you agree that the content of the Instagram plugin is transferred directly to your browser and integrated into the page. This integration informs Instagram that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged in to Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can immediately associate your visit to our website with your Instagram account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the “Instagram” button, this information is also transmitted directly to an Instagram server and stored there. The information is also published on your Instagram account and displayed to your contacts. If you do not want Instagram to associate the information collected through our website directly with your Instagram account, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our website. Please refer to Instagram’s privacy policy for more information.

Using LinkedIn social plug-ins

Our site uses functions from the LinkedIn network. The service is provided by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Each time you access the news page and share a news post via Linkedin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the LinkedIn servers. LinkedIn is informed that you have visited our web pages from your IP address. If you use the LinkedIn “Recommend” button and are logged into your LinkedIn account, it is possible for LinkedIn to associate your visit to our website to your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it will be used by LinkedIn.

More information can be found in the LinkedIn privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
