COOKIES
We make use of cookies to enable us to analyse how visitors to our websites are using them and what pages they are visiting. This enables us to customise and personalise the content on our website. Cookies make the interaction between users and websites faster and easier. Without cookies it would be very difficult for a website to allow a visitor to fill up a shopping cart or to remember the user’s preferences or registration details for a future visit.
Our website includes hyperlinks to, and details of, third party websites. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, the privacy policies and practices of third parties. For example, when we use a service such as YouTube to embed videos on our websites you may be sent cookies from them via our site. Please look at the cookie and privacy policies on these third-party sites if you want more information about this.
We also use third party suppliers such as Facebook, Eventbrite and Jotform, and these suppliers may also make use of cookies. As some of these third-party services may be based outside of the UK and the EU they may not fall under the jurisdiction of UK courts.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a piece of information in the form of a very small text file that is placed on an Internet user’s hard drive. It is generated by a web page server which is basically the computer that operates a website. The server sets the information the cookie contains and that server can use it whenever the user visits the site. A cookie can be thought of as an Internet user’s identification card which tells a website when the user has returned.
The methods for refusing to accept cookies and to delete cookies vary from browser to browser, and from version to version. You can, however, obtain up to date information about blocking and deleting cookies via these links:
Note that blocking all cookies will have a largely negative impact upon the usability of many websites and if you block cookies, you may not be able to use all the features on our website.
Use of external tools on our website
We have integrated various tools from different companies into our website, which allow us to evaluate user behaviour or to establish links with other websites.
Google Analytics
We have integrated the component Google Analytics on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the gathering, collection and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data on which website a data subject has come to a website from (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for which period of time a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising. The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
You may prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: tools.google.com/ This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics.
A cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs. Further information and Google‘s applicable privacy regulations can be found at policies.google.com/privacy and marketingplatform.google.com/about/ The following link provides a further explanation of Google Analytics marketingplatform.google.com
Our website also uses Google Analytics performance reports relating to demographics and interests and reports on Google Display Network impressions. You can disable Google Analytics for display advertising and customize the ads on the Google Display Network by visiting the ad settings at this link: adssettings.google.com.
Facebook / Instagram
With your consent, we will use Facebook's "tracking pixel". This pixel can be used to track user behaviour after they have been redirected to our website by clicking on a Facebook and / or Instagram link. This allows us to record the effectiveness of Facebook and Instagram advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and, if necessary, to take optimization measures. The tracking of users who have landed on our website after clicking on one of our Facebook and Instagram links can remain active for upto 180 days.
The data collected in this way is anonymous for us, i.e. we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, about which we will inform you to the best of our knowledge. Facebook may connect this data to the Facebook account and also use it for its own advertising purposes, according to its data usage policy. If you want to disable cookie storage for Facebook, you can do so via your browser settings.
Facebook Communication Tools
We also use Facebook communication tools, especially the "Custom Audiences" and "Website Custom Audiences" products. Basically, a non-reversible and non-personal checksum (hash value) is generated from your usage data, which can be transmitted to Facebook for analysis and marketing purposes. If you want to refuse the usage of Facebook’s “Website Custom Audiences”, you can do so by following this link: facebook.com/ads/
In addition, we use Customer Match Lists within the framework of our Facebook advertising activities, for instance for “Lookalike Audiences” and remarketing. To use Customer Match, lists of encrypted user data are uploaded to Facebook. After the upload, the system checks which data is already known and places these users in a list. After creating the customer match lists, the encrypted customer data is automatically deleted. Facebook does not gather new addresses in this way.
