IV. General notes on cookies
This website uses cookies.
Cookies are small text files that are stored by the browser in question when you call up our website on your user device. This allows you to "identify" individual services on a website and to "remember" the settings you made.

Some cookies are automatically deleted from your user device as soon as you leave our website again (so-called session cookies). Other cookies are stored for a certain period of time but not for longer than two years (persistent cookies). In addition, we also use so-called third-party cookies that are managed by third parties so that they can offer certain services.
You can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers have an option for limiting or completely preventing the storage of cookies. Users are also made aware, however, that restricting or deleting cookies can impair website use and in particular user convenience when visiting websites.
You can find more details on the cookies we use in Section B.

1. Your data
Every time you access this website, we automatically collect various technical data that are personally identifiable data.
These data are the following:
IP addresses are assigned to every device (e.g. smartphone, tablet, PC) connected to the Internet. Which IP address this is depends on the Internet connection via which your device is connected to the Internet at the time in question. It may be an IP address that your Internet provider has assigned to you - when you are connected to the Internet at home via your W-LAN, for example.. It may, however, also be an IP address assigned by your mobile phone provider or the IP address of a provider of a public or private W-LAN or other Internet access point. In its currently most common form (IPv4), the IP address consists of four number blocks. As a private user, you will generally not always have the same IP address, as the address is only assigned to you temporarily by your provider (so-called "dynamic IP address"). In principle, unique assignment of user data is easier with a permanently assigned IP address (so-called "static IP address"). Other than for the purpose of tracing unlawful access to our Internet offerings, we do not use these data as personally identifiable data but only on an anonymised basis in order to determine which of our websites is favoured, how many visits take place each day and so on.
Our website already supports the new IPv6 addresses. If you already have an IPv6 address, you should also be aware of the following: the IPv6 address consists of eight blocks of four. The first four blocks - as with the entire IPv4 address - are typically assigned dynamically in the case of private users. The last four blocks of an IPv6 address (so-called "interface identifier"), however, are determined by the user device that you use for browsing on the website. Unless there are different settings in your operating system, the so-called MAC address is used for this purpose. The MAC address is a kind of serial number assigned once worldwide for each IP-capable device. We therefore do not store the last four blocks of your IPv6 address. We generally recommend that you activate the so-called "Privacy Extensions" on your user device to ensure better anonymisation of the last four blocks of your IPv6 address. Most common operating systems have a "Privacy Extensions" function, but in some cases this function is not factory preset.
These data are not merged with other personally identifiable data that you actively enter on our website - in your profile, for example. We collect server logfiles in order to manage the website and so that we can identify and prevent unauthorised access.
2. Recipients of the data
Server logfiles are passed on to the following recipients:
2.1 Companies in the HANDELSBLATT MEDIA GROUP
You can find the companies of the HANDELSBLATT MEDIA GROUP that receive your data here: https://www.handelsblattgroup.com/portfolio/
2.2 Service partners of Euroforum Deutschland GmbH
We have contractually agreed with these service providers that they may only use your data in the context of handling orders for us and for our services. Any other use - including the making of contact with you by one of these service providers - is only admissible with your prior consent.
3. Legal basis
The legal basis for the processing of the personally identifiable data in logfiles is Art. 6 Para. 1 f GDPR. This "permission to use" allows the processing of personally identifiable data in the context of the "legitimate interest" of the responsible entity, insofar as this interest is not outweighed by your basic rights, basic freedoms or interests. Our legitimate interest consists in easier administration and improving our services as well as the possibility of identifying and tracing hacking. You can object to this processing of your data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation indicating that data processing is inappropriate. In such cases, it is sufficient to send an e-mail to the Data Protection Officer.
4. Duration of data storage
The server logfiles containing the aforementioned data are automatically deleted after 30 days at the latest. We reserve the right to store the server logfiles for a longer period if there are facts that support the assumption that there has been inadmissible access (such as a hacking attempt or a so-called DDOS attack).
