COOKIE-POLICY

Stand: 28.04.2021


We, the Westfalenhallen Unternehmensgruppe GmbH and our subsidiaries, hereinafter referred to as "Westfalenhallen", use cookies and other technologies within our online offerings (e.g. on websites, in browser-based applications or in apps) with which information that we need can be collected, to provide features within our online offerings and to improve our online offerings. Some of the cookies or other technologies used require your explicit consent. We ask you to agree to the use so that you can use all functions provided by our online offers without restrictions. We are providing you with this notice to comply with our legal obligation and to inform you which cookies are used when you use our online services and how we protect your privacy.


In this Cookie Policy, we refer to all technologies, including cookies, web beacons, pixels, as well as script trackers and other programmatic client-side technologies, that can be used to collect user information, explain their purpose, scope of use and provide Provide you with ways to manage and control the behavior of these technologies. In the broadest sense, cookies also include content or service offers from third-party providers, such as the integration of videos, maps or the use of certain fonts or the provision of administrative or other functions that are integrated into our online offers. It is always possible for these third-party providers to draw conclusions about the respective user, since they need their IP address in order to provide them with their offers. For reasons of consistency, all of these methods are collectively referred to below as "cookies" unless an explicit distinction is made between individual methods.


This cookie policy refers to our online offers under the domain "westfalenhallen.de" and associated subdomains as well as to other online offers of the Westfalenhallen Unternehmensgruppe GmbH, insofar as they refer to this cookie policy. This cookie policy can be called up, saved and printed out at any time within our online offers. By using our online offers, you agree that we can use cookies in accordance with this cookie policy. You can find more information about the use of your personal data in our data protection declaration.


1. What are cookies?



1.1. Cookies and other technologies are used to enable certain functions within online offers, e.g. recognizing a user, storing a user's default settings, clearly assigning temporary process or transaction-related data to a user, storing additional security information when a user logs in to his user account , or to collect information about the use of an online offer and to improve its use. These technologies are also used by almost all online offers to recognize whether the respective online offer has already been accessed with the same end device and the same browser, in order to adapt the displayed content depending on this and in some cases to vary it.



1.2. Cookies and other technologies can be used by the Westfalenhallen, but also by other third-party providers. This applies to content such as videos, online-based applications or analytical tools that help us to improve our online offerings, as well as content that is activated depending on the user, such as clicks on "Share" buttons with which content from our online offerings is shared on social media such as Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter can be shared. This cookie policy applies equally to third-party cookies. Whether a cookie is first-party or third-party depends on the domain placing the cookie. First-party cookies are cookies placed by the online offerings that the user is visiting. Third-party cookies are cookies that are placed by a different domain than the domain of the online offers that the user is visiting. Third-party providers place their cookies in first-party online offers if they provide technologies that the first-party provider uses within the online offers or makes available to its users. The Westfalenhallen have concluded order processing contracts or similar agreements with these third-party providers in accordance with Art. 28 Para. 3 DS-GVO.



1.3. Cookies can only be read by the online offer from which the cookie originated. Cookies do not normally collect any personal data that is stored on your end device. Cookies are merely the key that can be used to establish a connection to personal data, if they have been collected at all. Cookies can be classic text-based cookies, web beacons, pixels or scripts.



• Persistent cookies are stored for a period specified in the cookie on the end device used to access our online offering. These cookies are created the first time you visit our online offer, unless browser settings prevent this in principle, and are reactivated on each subsequent visit, provided that this visit is made with a device that already has a cookie.



• Session cookies enable the operators of online offers to record and correlate the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session begins when the browser is opened and ends when the browser is closed. Session cookies are deleted as soon as the browser is closed.



• Web beacons and pixels are files that are integrated into an online offer and are requested by the browser of the accessing user. They enable log file recording and log file analysis, which can be used for statistical evaluations. Information such as the IP address, the browser used or the operating system of the accessing system can be transmitted.



• Script trackers and other client-side programmatic technologies are small JavaScript-based programs, or programmatic content based on other technologies, which can provide functions that enable browser recognition. You do not have to store any data on the accessing end device. These technologies are only used if they are supported and activated by the browser of the accessing user.


1.4. Since many providers use more than one of the technologies mentioned above, these "cookies" are summarized below according to their purpose and the assigned source domain.


2. Which cookies do we use?


2.1. Depending on their function, the technology used and their purpose, cookies are usually divided into five categories: necessary cookies, analytical cookies, functional cookies, targeting cookies and flash cookies. Please see the following list of the different types of cookies that we can use within our online offerings.


2.2. Necessary cookies: Necessary cookies enable navigation within our online offering and the provision of essential functions that would not work without the use of cookies, or that we could not offer in their current form without usage restrictions. This also includes the provision of specially secured areas that can receive personal user data or enable payment activities. To protect the data of our users, these areas are only provided after successful user authentication. With the help of necessary cookies - as one of several methods used at the same time - it is also ensured that the user requesting sensitive information has previously been successfully authenticated in order to prevent misuse of the information we have stored elsewhere. In addition, settings such as language, location and display-optimizing information such as screen resolution or buffer size can be stored. Necessary cookies are not used for advertising purposes and are also not used to collect behavior-based information about the users of our online offers. In order to use our online offers, it is necessary for you to accept necessary cookies. If you do not accept necessary cookies, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to use our online offerings in full and that security during your visit can be guaranteed.


2.3. Functional cookies: We use functional cookies to save user decisions that influence the behavior of our online offers. With the help of functional cookies, we can offer personalized functions such as content tailored to individual user needs. For example, we can reactivate your last used search filters or check whether we have already made you aware of offers. Additional information may be stored on our systems and linked to functional cookies. These functions help us to adapt our online offers to your individual needs and to improve your user experience. For the optimal use of our online offers it is therefore necessary that you accept this type of cookies. If you do not accept functional cookies, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to use our online offers in full. Functional cookies can also be managed by third parties. Information on the protection of personal data for these cookies can be found on the websites of these third parties, which are named below.


2.4. Analytical cookies: Analytical cookies are used to collect information about the use of online offers. This type of cookies helps us to further improve our offers, gives us information about the behavior of our users and helps us to identify and eliminate difficulties or errors when using our online offers. It also allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of our advertising efforts and improve the quality of the advertising shown to our users. These cookies are not linked to any information that can be used to identify individual users. Analytical cookies can also be managed by third parties. Information on the protection of personal data for these cookies can be found on the websites of the third parties named below.


2.5. Targeting Cookies: We, or service providers engaged by us, may use targeting cookies to show you more relevant product information based on your interests. They also help us to improve the efficiency of our advertising campaigns. For example, targeting cookies allow us to limit the number of ads you see or recognize when you have responded to ads from us. These cookies can be used to recognize individual users and to record which information within our online offers was particularly relevant to you. This information may be passed on by us to advertisers who have been commissioned by us and may be combined by them with information from other sources of personal data. This also includes data that has been collected about you when using other online offers. These third parties also allow you to control your settings and personal preferences regarding the collection of personal information by third parties. This means that you will no longer receive advertising tailored to your needs based on the information collected about you. Please note that you must adjust your settings accordingly on each end device and for each browser with which you use our offer. Even if such cookies are not used, you may see advertisements from us. This advertising is displayed to users in certain target group-specific environments on the Internet and is comparable to the broadcast of television advertising: For example, if you are watching a travel magazine, you will be shown travel-related commercials more frequently during the commercial breaks. If targeting cookies are managed by third parties, you can find the information on the protection of personal data for these cookies on the websites of these third parties, which are mentioned below.


2.6. Flash cookies: Sometimes so-called Flash cookies are used when embedding the Adobe Flash plug-in. These can save user settings and information about released local resources on the accessing end device for the respective content played. Flash cookies may not be managed in the browser but via other interfaces, which depends on the end device used. Visit the Adobe website for more information on how to manage, disable, or delete Flash cookies. Please note that after deactivating Flash cookies you may no longer be able to use certain functions of our online offers. You can block Flash cookies in the settings for Adobe Flash Player and in some cases directly in your browser, depending on whether the browser software you use to use our website provides this function. For more information, see: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/security.html

4. Third Party Cookies (or Technologies).



4.1. The following sections provide an overview of all third-party cookies used within our online offerings, their origin and purpose. The integration of technologies from third parties always requires that they receive the IP address of the user, since the functions cannot be provided without the IP address of the user. The IP address is required to provide these functions. In addition, these third-party providers can also receive further technical information, such as the browser used, the operating system and technical device information, date and duration of the visit.

5. Google Re/Marketing Services Services


5.1. We use Google Re/Marketing Services to analyze and optimize our online offerings. The Google marketing services allow us to display advertisements in a more targeted manner so that they potentially correspond to the interests of the user. If a user visits other websites on which advertisements are controlled using Google Re/Marketing Services, advertisements tailored to the user can be displayed. For these purposes, when you visit our websites on which Google Re/Marketing Services are active, a Google code is executed, invisible graphics are integrated into the website, or comparable technologies are used. With their help, it is determined which websites the user has visited, what content he is interested in and which offers he has clicked on. Metadata such as technical information about the browser and operating system as well as the IP address of the user, referring websites, time of visit and other information on the use of the respective online offer are also recorded. Google can also link this information about the user to information from other sources. The user data is processed by Google within pseudonymised user profiles, which Google does not assign to a specific person, but to a device or cookie owner. Real names or e-mail addresses are not recorded or stored as long as a user has not expressly permitted Google to process this data. The information collected about users using Google Re/Marketing Services is transmitted to Google and stored in the USA. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and guarantees to comply with the regulations of European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Actives). If you wish to object to interest-based advertising by Google Marketing Services, you can use the setting and opt-out options provided by Google: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

6. Google Functional Services


6.1. We use functional services from Google in order to be able to offer the respective functions - such as maps or special programming frameworks - within our online offers. These functions are very complex, which is why we are dependent on using a third party to provide these functions economically and technologically. For these purposes, when our websites, on which the functional services of Google are active, are accessed, programmatic technologies ("scripts") are executed by Google, which are used to determine the appropriate technical parameters of the browser environment of the accessing user and the respective content and functions adapted to the user's browser environment. According to the definition mentioned above, these scripts are also cookies (“script trackers”). Among other things, metadata such as technical information about the browser and operating system as well as the IP address of the user, the online offer in which the function is integrated, visit time and other information on the use of the respective online offer are determined and passed on to Google. The user data that is collected as part of the provision of functional services is processed by Google within pseudonymised user profiles, which Google does not assign to a specific person, but to a device or cookie owner. Google guarantees that the information will not be used for any other purpose. Real names or e-mail addresses are not recorded or stored as long as a user has not expressly permitted Google to process this data.



Cookie-Name Google APIs



Managed by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

Purpose Some functions of our websites depend heavily on the APIs provided by Google. These include fonts (Google Fonts), but also program libraries. Personal data can be processed to the extent necessary to provide functionality within our websites. Google guarantees that the information will not be used for any other purpose.

Cookie-Name Google Universal Analytics



Managed by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

Purpose We use Google Universal Analytics within our online offering. Google Universal Analytics cookies are used to collect visitor session and behavioral data for analytics reports. This enables us to receive information about the use of our offers on different devices ("cross device") and improve the user-friendliness of our offers with the results obtained. For this purpose, pseudonymised user profiles are used, which do not contain any personal data such as names or e-mail addresses, and such are not transmitted to Google. Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offerings, to create reports on the activities within our online offerings and to provide us with other services related to the use of our online offerings. Pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data. We use Google Universal Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened 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 will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not merged with other Google data.

Cookie-Name YouTube



Managed by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

Purpose We have integrated components from YouTube within our online offering. YouTube allows video clips to be uploaded and viewed, rated and commented on free of charge. By calling up one of the individual pages of our online offering, on which content from YouTube has been integrated, a connection to YouTube is established in order to download the elements required to display the corresponding video. In doing so, YouTube or the operating company Google receives information about which sub-pages of our online offers have been accessed by the respective user. In addition, further information such as the IP address, the browser used, the operating system and technical device information, date and duration of the visit are forwarded. If the user is logged in to YouTube with the same device when visiting our online offering, YouTube recognizes the user when they call up a single page that contains a YouTube video. This takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. This information can be collected by YouTube or Google and assigned to the profile of the respective user, provided the elements have not been integrated in "Privacy Mode". We always use the "Privacy Mode" if this is possible.

7. Use of the Facebook pixel for analysis purposes


The Westfalenhallen Unternehmensgruppe GmbH use so-called Facebook pixels within their online offers. These are the functional components of the comprehensive web analysis service provided by Facebook Inc. (represented in Europe by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. In the following: "Facebook"). With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able, among other things, to assign visitors to our online offers to a target group or several target groups for the display of advertisements. These target groups are made up of visitors who have shown an interest in our online offers or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also measure the effectiveness of Facebook ads and use these findings for statistical and market research purposes.


How the Facebook pixel works


The Facebook pixel is integrated into our online offers on the respective device by reloading executable program code based on JavaScript or by reloading a single image file if it is not possible to reload executable program code, for example if JavaScript is deactivated in the browser of the accessing device has been. These different types of Facebook pixel enable an analysis of your use of our online offering. As soon as one of our online offers is accessed, the Facebook pixel establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The information about your usage behavior obtained through the cookies is usually transmitted to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. The programmatic content of the Facebook pixel is transmitted directly to the end device used to access our online offering and is largely determined by Facebook. The information obtained using the Facebook pixel is also largely determined by Facebook. The scope of the data that Facebook collects with the help of the Facebook pixel can change at any time and is beyond our knowledge if Facebook does not provide appropriate information. We therefore inform the users of our online offers according to our level of knowledge.


Analysis of the effectiveness of advertisements


The Facebook pixel provides extensive analysis functions. The scope of the personal and user-specific data collected using the Facebook pixel can be adapted to different content-related requirements. The behavior of individual users can be evaluated in detail for each online offer. This applies to any online offer in which Facebook pixels have been integrated. Facebook uses this information, among other things, to optimize the control of advertisements in its own advertising network and to only display the corresponding advertisements to relevant groups of recipients. For example, user behavior can be evaluated after clicking on an advertisement in a Facebook online offer or from the Facebook advertising network. Facebook can use the Facebook pixel to determine, for example, whether a contract has been concluded or whether a newsletter has been subscribed to. This information gives Facebook and us a better understanding of the effectiveness of advertising on Facebook. Individual ads and user behavior after a click can be linked to specific purchasing behavior or other target indicators - such as the use of other services offered. Extensive usage profiles can be created from this data.


merging data from different sources and using data for other purposes


Facebook also brings together information that comes from different sources. One of these sources is the information collected using the Facebook pixel about the surfing behavior of users within online offers in which the Facebook pixel is integrated. Other sources are evaluations of user behavior and interaction within Facebook, such as "Like" information, product interests, interests of people designated as "friends" there or information from conversations with them. If you are logged in to your Facebook account on the respective end device or have been logged in in the past, the information collected can be linked to your Facebook user account so that your user behavior can be recorded completely within other online offers even after you have left Facebook. Even if Facebook is not used, Facebook can still link the behavioral information. We would like to point out that the use of such a tracking method enables users to be identified independently of the device, since data from different end devices can also be merged with the user profile as soon as a user has logged on to the same service at least once on both devices, or as soon as a sufficient probability value has been determined based on similar user behavior and matching geodata. The purpose and scope of the data collected, as well as the further processing and other use of the data, your rights in this regard and the setting options offered to protect privacy can be found in Facebook's data protection information: Opens external link in new windowhttps://www.facebook.com /about/privacy/.


Data transmission to Facebook


Facebook is based in the USA and thus in a so-called “third country” according to Art. 44 GDPR. Facebook is certified under the "EU-US Privacy Shield" data protection agreement, which guarantees compliance with a European level of data protection. The legal basis for the transmission and processing of your data is the existence of a consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The following data is transmitted to Facebook through the integration of the Facebook pixel within our online offers:


 


Any data present in the HTTP headers: An HTTP header is a standard web protocol that is sent to the appropriate server on the internet with every browser request. HTTP headers can contain, among other things, IP addresses, information about the web browser, pages or documents accessed, referrer and accessing system. For more information about data in HTTP headers, see Opens external link in new windowhttps://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_HTTP-Headerfelder

Pixel-specific data, such as the Facebook pixel ID and the content of Facebook pixel cookies.

Data event values: Up to seventeen standard events can be defined for which data is collected. These are described here: Opens external link in new windowhttps://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-pixel/reference. Among other things, the call-up of sub-pages within the online offer can be recorded, the value of a purchase made, how many and which products have been purchased, or the duration of paid subscriptions. This data can also be used by Facebook to predict your shopping and payment behavior and to make assumptions about your socio-economic status.

Further information on data collection by Facebook pixels can be found at Opens external link in new window https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/ and at Opens external link in new window https://business.facebook.com/pixels /tos/ and in the Facebook Business Tools Terms of Use at Opens external link in new windowhttps://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/businesstools.

Disable Facebook data collection


 


If you do not want Facebook to collect data about you within our online offering, you must log out of Facebook before using our online offering and delete the cookies in your browser. You must repeat this process on each end device with which you access our online offers. You can revoke your consent to us at any time by clicking on this link: Opens external link in new windowhttps://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads
