Cookie Policy

We ask you to read our Cookie Policy carefully:

With this Cookie Policy, we would like to inform you about the use of cookies or similar storage technologies, such as pixels, (hereinafter "cookies") on our website www.streamoptics.de. This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy.

WHAT ARE COOKIES

Cookies are small text files that are stored by your browser on your device to save certain information. The next time you visit our website using the same device, the information stored in the cookie is subsequently sent back either to our website (a "first-party cookie") or to another website to which the cookie belongs (a "third-party cookie"). The information stored and sent back allows the respective website to recognize that you have already accessed and visited it using the browser on your device. We use this information to be able to optimally design and display our website in accordance with your preferences. Only the cookie itself is identified on your device. Personal data is only stored with your express consent, or if this is absolutely necessary in order to be able to use the service offered and accessed by you.

REVOCATION OF CONSENT TO THE USE OF COOKIES

You can revoke your consent to the use of cookies at any time with future effect, unless they are strictly necessary (see the "Types of Cookies in Detail" section). You can find the link to the cookie settings in the footer of our website.

DELETION OF ALL COOKIES

You have the option of deactivating cookies in your browser at any time. This will prevent cookies from being stored on your device and will result in you being asked each time whether you agree to the use of cookies. However, please note that deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

TYPES OF COOKIES IN DETAIL

Depending on their purpose and function, we divide cookies into the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies
Performance cookies
Functional cookies
Marketing cookies

Below we will inform you in detail about the different types of cookies and which cookies are set and used – possibly with your consent.

1. Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies ensure functions without which you would not be able to use our website as intended. These cookies are used exclusively by us and are therefore first-party cookies. This means that all information stored in the cookies is sent back to our website. Strictly necessary cookies serve, for example, to ensure that you, as a registered user, remain logged in when accessing various subpages of our website and thus do not have to re-enter your login details every time you visit a new page. The use of strictly necessary cookies on our website is possible and permitted without your consent. For this reason, strictly necessary cookies cannot be deactivated or activated individually. However, you have the option of generally deactivating cookies in your browser at any time. This may, however, lead to functional restrictions in connection with the use of our website. The legal basis for the use of strictly necessary cookies is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (performance of the contract) and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (balancing of interests, based on our legitimate and overriding interest in the technically smooth provision of our website and the services offered via it).

2. Performance cookies

Performance cookies collect aggregated information about how our website is used in order to improve its attractiveness, content and functionality. These cookies help us determine whether, which, how often and for how long subpages of our website are visited and which content users are particularly interested in. In particular, we record the number of visits to a page, the number of subpages accessed, the time spent on our website, the order of the pages visited, which search terms led you to us, the country, region and, if applicable, the city from which you accessed our website, and the proportion of mobile devices accessing our websites. We also record movements, clicks and scrolling with the computer mouse in order to understand which areas of our website are of particular interest to users. These cookies do not store any information that would allow the user to be identified. The information collected is aggregated and does not allow us to draw any direct conclusions about you as an individual. They are used solely to compile statistics in order to tailor the content of our website more specifically to the needs of our users, to improve the user experience and to optimise our offering. The legal basis for the use of performance cookies is Art. 6 (1a) GDPR in conjunction with your consent.

a) Google 360 ​​Analytics

This website uses Google 360 ​​Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google Analytics uses these performance cookies, which are stored on your computer with your consent and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization "anonymizeIp()" on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. We use Google 360 ​​Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics collected allow us to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user.

Data protection overview: https://policies.google.com/?hl=de&gl=de
Privacy Policy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

Please note that the Google Analytics cookie has a storage period of 26 months. Contract processing: We have concluded a contract processing agreement with Google that has been agreed upon with the German data protection authorities. The legal basis for the associated data processing is Art. 6 (1a) GDPR, in conjunction with your consent.

Revocation:
You can revoke your consent to the use of performance cookies at any time with future effect. You can find the link to the cookie settings in the footer of our website.

Objection to data processing:
You can also prevent cookies from being saved by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of our website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and transmitting data relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de .

b) Google 360 ​​Tag Manager

With your consent, we use the Google 360 ​​Tag Manager. The Google 360 ​​Tag Manager does not collect any personal data itself. The Tag Manager makes it easier for us to integrate and manage our tags. Tags are small code elements that are used, among other things, to measure traffic and visitor behavior, record the impact of online advertising and social channels, set up remarketing and target audiences, and test and optimize websites. Further information about the Google 360 ​​Tag Manager can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html . The legal basis for the associated data processing is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR in conjunction with your consent.

Revocation:
You can revoke your consent to the use of performance cookies at any time with future effect. You can find the link to the cookie settings in the footer of our website.

Objection to data processing:
You can also prevent the collection and transmission of data relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de .

c) Google 360 ​​Display & Video

With your consent, we use the online marketing process Google 360 ​​Display & Video to place ads in the Google advertising network (e.g., in search results, in videos, on websites, etc.). Google 360 ​​Display & Video is characterized by the fact that ads are displayed in real time based on the presumed interests of users. This allows us to display ads for and within our online offering more specifically, in order to present you only ads that potentially match your interests. If, for example, you are shown ads for products that you have shown interest in on other online offerings, this is referred to as "remarketing." For these purposes, when you visit our and other websites on which the Google advertising network is active, a code from Google is immediately executed by Google and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as "web beacons") are integrated into the website. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user's device (similar technologies can also be used instead of cookies). This file records which websites you have visited, which content you are interested in and which offers you have clicked on, as well as technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information about the use of the online service. Your IP address is also recorded, although this is shortened within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases is it transmitted in full to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google may also combine the above-mentioned information with information from other sources. If you subsequently visit other websites, you may be shown advertisements tailored to your presumed interests based on your user profile. Your data is processed pseudonymously within the Google advertising network. This means that Google does not save and process, for example, your name or email address, but processes the relevant data in a cookie-related manner within pseudonymous user profiles. From Google's perspective, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie owner, regardless of who that cookie owner is. This does not apply if you have expressly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected about you by Google Marketing Services is transmitted to Google and stored on Google's servers in the USA. Further information on data usage by Google, setting options, and objection options can be found in Google's privacy policy and terms of use ( https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads ) as well as in the settings for the display of advertisements by Google ( https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated ). We would like to point out that the Google 360 ​​Display & Video cookie has a storage period of 26 months. The legal basis for the associated data processing is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR in conjunction with your consent.

Revocation:
You can revoke your consent to the use of performance cookies at any time with future effect. You can find the link to the cookie settings in the footer of our website.

Objection to data processing:
You can also prevent the collection and forwarding of personal data (especially your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by deactivating the execution of JavaScript in your browser. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection and transmission of data related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de .

3. Functional cookies

Functional cookies enable our website to save information you have already provided (such as your registered name, language selection, or your current location) and to offer you improved and more personalized features based on this information. These cookies collect and store data exclusively in such a way that your user behavior cannot be tracked on other websites. The legal basis for the use of functional cookies is Art. 6 (1a) GDPR in conjunction with your consent.

Revocation of consent to the use of functional cookies
You can revoke your consent to the use of functional cookies at any time with future effect. You can find the link to the cookie settings in the footer of our website.

4. Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies come from external advertising companies (third-party cookies) and are used to collect information about the websites visited by the user in order to create targeted advertising for the user and display ads tailored to their interests. They are also used to limit the frequency of an ad and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. This information may be shared with third parties, such as advertisers. The legal basis for the use of marketing cookies is Art. 6 (1a) GDPR in conjunction with your consent.

Revocation of consent to the use of marketing cookies
You can revoke your consent to the use of marketing cookies at any time with future effect. You can find the link to the cookie settings in the footer of our website. Objection to data processing: You can also manage marketing cookies using tools developed in many countries as part of self-regulatory programs, such as https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ (USA) or http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices (EU).

The following marketing cookies are used on our website:

a) Google Ads and conversion tracking

We use Google Ads and Conversion Tracking from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter "Google"). With your consent, if you click on a Google ad, a cookie will be placed on your computer. These cookies expire after 30 days, contain no personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. This means that the cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected with the help of the cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted for Google Ads and Conversion Tracking. Adwords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. Data processing: We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google that has been agreed upon with the German data protection authorities. The legal basis for the use of marketing cookies is Art. 6 (1a) GDPR in conjunction with your consent.

Revocation:
You can revoke your consent to the use of marketing cookies at any time with effect for the future. You can find the link to the cookie settings in the footer of our website. Objection to data processing: You can also prevent cookies from being set by setting your browser software accordingly. You can also deactivate the use of cookies by following the link below and installing the plug-in provided there: www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin or deactivate Google Conversion Tracking athttp://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/?hl=de . Further information on Google Ads and Conversion Tracking as well as Google's privacy policy can be found at: http://www.google.com/privacy/ads .

b) Google 360 ​​Search Ads

If you have given your consent, we use Google 360 ​​Search Ads. The use of Google 360 ​​Search Ads enables Google and its partner sites to display ads based on previous visits to our or other websites. The data collected in this context can be transferred by Google to a server in the USA for evaluation and stored there. In contrast to Google Ads and Conversion Tracking, which is limited to the Google Search Network, Google 360 ​​Search Ads enables the exchange of ads and keywords with several supported search engines. We would like to point out that the Google 360 ​​Search Ads cookie has a storage period of a maximum of 30 days. The legal basis for the associated data processing is Art. 6 (1a) GDPR in conjunction with your consent.

Revocation:
You can revoke your consent to the use of performance cookies at any time with future effect. You can find the link to the cookie settings in the footer of our website.

Objection to data processing:
You can also prevent the collection and forwarding of personal data (especially your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by deactivating the execution of JavaScript in your browser. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection and transmission of data related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de .

c) Google Dynamic Remarketing

We also use the remarketing function in Google AdWords from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter "Google"). With the remarketing function, and with your consent, we can present advertisements based on the interests of website users on other websites within the Google advertising network (i.e. on Google itself, so-called "Google Ads" or on other websites). For this purpose, your interaction on our website is analyzed, in particular which offers you were interested in, in order to be able to show you targeted advertising on other sites even after you have visited our website. For this purpose, Google stores cookies in your browser which visit certain Google services or websites in the Google Display Network. This cookie records the visits of these users. This number is used to uniquely identify a web browser on a specific computer and not to identify a person; personal data is not stored. Order processing: We have concluded a contract for order processing with Google which has been agreed with the German data protection authorities. The legal basis for the use of marketing cookies is Art. 6 (1a) GDPR in conjunction with your consent.

Revocation:
You can revoke your consent to the use of marketing cookies at any time with future effect. You can find the link to the cookie settings in the footer of our website.

Objection to data processing:
You can also prevent cookies from being set by adjusting your browser software settings. You can also disable Google's use of cookies by following the link below and installing the plug-in provided there: http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin .

d) Campaign Manager

This website also uses the online marketing tool Campaign Manager from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). With your consent, Campaign Manager uses cookies to display ads relevant to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. In addition, Campaign Manager can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a Campaign Manager ad and later visits the advertiser's website using the same browser and makes a purchase there. According to Google, Campaign Manager cookies do not contain any personal information. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected through the use of this tool by Google and therefore inform you according to our current state of knowledge: By integrating the Campaign Manager, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out and save your IP address. In addition, the Campaign Manager cookies used enable us to understand whether you carry out certain actions on our website after you have accessed or clicked on one of our display/video ads on Google or on another platform via the Campaign Manager (conversion tracking). The Campaign Manager uses this cookie to understand the content you have interacted with on our websites in order to be able to send you targeted advertising later. Further information about Campaign Manager can be found at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/enterprise/ and about Google's general data protection policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy . Alternatively, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) website at http://www.networkadvertising.org . Please note that this cookie is stored for 30 days. The legal basis for the integration of Google's Campaign Manager described in this section is Art. 6 (1a) GDPR in conjunction with your consent.

Revocation:
You can revoke your consent to the use of marketing cookies at any time with future effect. You can find the link to the cookie settings in the footer of our website.

Objection to data processing:
You can prevent participation in this tracking process in several ways:

- by setting your browser software accordingly: suppressing third-party cookies will prevent you from receiving third-party ads;

- by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain http://ww.googleadservices.com , https://www.google.de/settings/ads , whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;

- by deactivating interest-based ads from providers who are part of the “About Ads” self-regulatory campaign via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices , although this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;

- by permanently deactivating cookies in your Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Safari browsers at http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin . Please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all of the features of this website to their full extent. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by cookies about your use of the website and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/142293?hl=de under "Display Settings," "Campaign Manager Deactivation Extension."

e) Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is an internet-based sales method. It enables commercial website operators (merchants) to display advertising, usually remunerated via click or sale commissions, on third-party websites, i.e., those of sales partners (affiliates). The merchant provides an advertising medium, i.e., an advertising banner or other suitable means of internet advertising, via the affiliate network, which is subsequently integrated by an affiliate on their own website or promoted via other channels, such as keyword advertising or email marketing. The legal basis for the use of affiliate marketing is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR in conjunction with your consent.

THIRD-PARTY CONTENT

The internet thrives on connections. For this reason, you'll find not only our own content on our website. We've also integrated third-party content to make our website better, more interesting, and more relevant to you. When you access one of our pages with such third-party content, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective provider and retrieves the content from there to display it for you.

This website displays content from the YouTube site operated by Google. The site is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, a subsidiary of Google. When you visit one of our pages with YouTube content, your browser establishes a direct connection to the YouTube servers and retrieves the content from there to display it to you. When YouTube content is integrated, your browser communicates with a YouTube server in the USA, which can record the corresponding retrieval of the content by your browser. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account before accessing our website.

To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to process your IP address and information about your possible use of the map. This information is transmitted from your internet browser to a Google server in the USA and processed there by Google. Further information on this can be found here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7105316?hl=de Information on how user data is handled can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de .
