What are cookies? | Cookies are small files that we send to and store on your device when you visit our website. Certain functions on our website cannot be provided without the use of technically mandatory cookies. Other cookies, however, enable us to perform a range of analyses. Cookies can, for example, recognize the browser you are using when you visit our website again and transfer various items of information to us. Among other things, cookies enable us to make our website more user-friendly and effective for you, for example by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). If third parties process information via cookies, they collect this information directly via your browser. Cookies do not harm your device.

Third-party cookies allow the number of page views, the duration of a website visit or the pages viewed to be determined. |
Legal basis for the use of cookies | The legal basis for the processing of technically mandatory cookies is our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data pursuant to Article 6(1f) of the GDPR.

If you give us your consent to the use of cookies on the basis of a notice (“cookie banner”) provided by us on the website, the legality of use is additionally governed by Article 6(1a) of the GDPR. As soon as the data transmitted to us via the cookies is no longer required for the purposes described above, it is deleted. Any further storage may occur only in individual cases if provided for by law. |

The section below provides some information about third-party providers who may set cookies.
Google Analytics | This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files that are stored on your computer and enable analysis of your website usage. The information generated by cookies about your usage of this website is normally transferred to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored. If IP anonymization is enabled on a website, your IP address is truncated by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other EEA member states. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. IP anonymization is enabled on this website. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google uses this information to evaluate your usage of the website, compile reports about website activities and provide additional services to the website operator relating to the use of the website and Internet use. Our legitimate interest in data processing also lies in these purposes. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Section 15(3) of the German Telemedia Act and Article 6(1f) of the GDPR. The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user IDs or advertising IDs is automatically deleted after 14 months. Data whose retention period is reached is automatically deleted once a month. The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. You can refuse the use of cookies using the settings above or by making the appropriate settings in your browser software; if you do this, however, you may not be able to make full use of this website. For more information about how Google uses data for promotional purposes, see the following Google websites: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners/ (“How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services”); https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads (“How Google uses cookies in advertising”); and https://www.google.com/ads/preferences/ (“Ad personalization”). |
INTEGRATION OF YOUTUBE | To embed videos, FUCHS GROUP uses YouTube, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“YouTube”). The videos were embedded in extended data protection mode. Like most websites, however, YouTube also uses cookies to collect information about its website visitors. YouTube uses this to record video statistics, prevent fraud and improve user-friendliness. This also results in a connection being established with the Google DoubleClick network. When you play a video, this could trigger further data processing operations. We have no influence over this.
