CCM19 – Cookie Consent Management

The provider of this website uses the “CCM19” service of Papoo Software & Media GmbH, based in Bonn, Germany, to obtain consent for cookie use and to track online users regarding consent. When you enter our website, a CCM19 cookie is stored in your browser, which stores the consents you have given or revoked. This data will not be shared with CCM19. The collected data will be stored until you request us to delete it or delete the CCM19 cookie yourself, or until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

The use of CCM19 cookie consent technology is done to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c GDPR. For more information about CCM19’s privacy policy, click here.

SSL encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Newsletter

On the basis of your expressly given consent, we will send you our newsletter or comparable information regularly by e-mail to your specified e-mail address.

To receive the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your e-mail address. When registering to receive our newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers may also be informed by e-mail about circumstances relevant to the service or registration (for example, changes to the newsletter offer or technical circumstances).

For an effective registration, we need a valid e-mail address. In order to verify that a registration is actually made by the owner of an e-mail address, we use the “double-opt-in” procedure. For this purpose, we log the order of the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation email and the receipt of the response requested herewith. No other data is collected. The data will be used exclusively for the newsletter dispatch and will not be passed on to third parties.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for the newsletter dispatch at any time. There is a link to this in every newsletter. In addition, you can also unsubscribe at any time directly on this website or inform us of your corresponding wish via the contact option provided at the end of this privacy notice.

Contact form

If you contact us by e-mail or contact form regarding questions of any kind, you give us your voluntary consent for the purpose of contacting you. For this, the specification of a valid e-mail address is required. This is used for the assignment of the request and the subsequent response to the same. By submitting this form, I agree that Trebing & Himstedt Prozessautomation GmbH & Co. KG may store my data and use it to inform me about products, services and licenses of Trebing + Himstedt and its partners and may contact me by phone, fax, e-mail or mail. Furthermore, I agree that my data may be passed on to third parties commissioned by Trebing + Himstedt if necessary. I am aware that I can revoke this consent at any time by clicking on a link in the e-mail with effect for the future. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

Use of Friendly Captcha (bot/spam protection)

We use the Friendly Captcha tool on our website. This is offered by Friendly Captcha GmbH, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Woerthsee.

The tool is used to prevent automated and abusive requests by so-called “bots”. As part of this process, your IP address is recorded by Friendly Captcha in order to send a cryptographic task to your end device. This task is solved in the background and as soon as it is solved, a confirmation is sent to the server via Friendly Captcha that this is a natural person.

• Anonymized IP address of the requesting computer
• Information about the browser and operating system used
• Anonymized counter per IP address to control the cryptographic tasks
• Website from which the access took place (so-called referrer URL)

The data is used to protect against bots.

The legal basis for the processing is the legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR to prevent abusive access or spam attacks by bots. If personal data is processed when using Friendly Captcha, it will be deleted after 30 days.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (hereafter: Google). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this 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 truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

The purposes of data processing are to evaluate the use of the website and to compile reports about activities on the website. Based on the use of the website and the Internet, other related services shall then be provided. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Browser Add On to disable Google Analytics.

For more information on terms of use and data protection, please visit http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or www.google.de/intl/de/policies/.We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code “anonymizeIp” to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).

Use of Google AdWords

Our website uses Google conversion tracking. If you have accessed our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Adwords will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked through the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the Conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Clients learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, by means of a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies or by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com” are blocked.

Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want any measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

Use of Google Remarketing

On these pages, the visitor may be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the visitor has previously viewed on websites that use Google’s remarketing feature.

Linking social media via graphic or text link

We also promote presences on our website on the social networks listed below. The integration is done via a linked graphic of the respective network. The use of this linked graphic prevents the automatic establishment of a connection to the respective server of the social network when calling up a website that has a social media application in order to display a graphic of the respective network itself. Only by clicking on the corresponding graphic is the user redirected to the service of the respective social network.

After the user is redirected, information about the user is collected by the respective network. It cannot be ruled out that the data collected in this way will be processed in the USA.

This is initially data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged into his user account of the respective network during this time, the network operator may be able to assign the collected information of the user’s specific visit to the user’s personal account. If the user interacts via a “Share” button of the respective network, this information may be stored in the user’s personal user account and may be published. If the user wants to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to his user account, he must log out before clicking on the graphic. In addition, it is possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.

The following social networks are integrated into our site by linking:
