Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy applies to:

https://www.midd-maschinendienst.de

When using cookies to process personal data (such as websites visited, IP addresses, cookie content, referrer URL, click and surf behaviour and device details), M.I.D.D- Maschinenhandling GmbH complies with the applicable data protection laws. Further information on the handling of your personal data can be found in the Privacy Policy of M.I.D.D- Maschinenhandling GmbH.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are text files that contain data from websites or domains visited and are stored by a browser on the user's computer. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user during or after their visit to an online service. The information stored includes, for example, the language settings on a website, the login status, a shopping basket or the location where a video was viewed.

The term ‘cookies’ also includes other technologies that fulfil the same functions as cookies (e.g. when user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also known as ‘user IDs’).

2. A distinction is made between the following types and functions of cookies:

• Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest when a user leaves an online service and closes their browser.
• Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved or favourite content can be displayed directly when a website is visited again. The interests of users, which are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes, can also be stored in such a cookie.
• First-party cookies: First-party cookies are set by us.
• Cookies from third-party providers: Third-party cookies are mainly used by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
• Required (also: essential) cookies: Cookies may be necessary for the operation of a website (e.g. to save logins or other user input or for security reasons).
• Cookies for statistics, marketing and personalisation: Cookies are also generally used to measure the reach of a website and when a user's interests or behaviour (e.g. accessing certain content, using functions, etc.) on individual websites are stored in a user profile. Such profiles are used, for example, to display content to users that matches their potential interests. This process is also referred to as ‘tracking’, i.e. tracking the potential interests of users. If we use cookies or ‘tracking’ technologies, we will inform you about this separately in our Privacy Policy or when obtaining consent.

Information on the legal basis:

The legal basis on which we process your personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask for your consent. If this is the case and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis for the processing of your data is your declared consent.

Otherwise, the data processed with the help of cookies will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in the operation of our online offering and its improvement) or if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations.

General information on revocation of consent and objection (opt-out):

Regardless of whether the processing is based on consent or legal authorisation, you have the option at any time to object to the processing of your data using cookie technologies or to withdraw your consent (collectively referred to as ‘opt-out’). You can initially declare your objection via the settings of your browser, e.g. by deactivating the use of cookies (which may also restrict the functionality of our online services).

You can object to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes for a number of services, in particular tracking, via the WebChoices and Your Online Choices websites.

In addition, you will receive further information on objections in the information on the service providers and cookies used.

Processing of cookie data on the basis of consent:

Before we process or have data processed in the context of the use of cookies, we ask users for their consent, which can be revoked at any time. Before consent has not been given, we may use cookies that are necessary for the operation of our online services.

Their use is based on our interest and the user's interest in the expected functionality of our online services.

• Processed data types: Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).
• Persons concerned: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
• Legal basis: Consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR), legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

3. Which cookies are stored on the website(s) of M.I.D.D- Maschinenhandling GmbH?

Different categories of cookies are used for the following purposes:

Required cookies:

To enable the operation of our websites.

Necessary or functional cookies relate to the functionality of our websites and enable us to improve the service we provide to you through our websites, for example by allowing you to transfer information across multiple pages of our website so that you do not have to re-enter it, or by recognising your preferences when you return to our website.

Analytical cookies:

To analyse and improve the use of our website.

Analytical cookies allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors to our website, see how visitors move around the website when they are using it and record what content viewers look at and are interested in. This allows us to determine how often certain pages and adverts are visited and which areas of our website are the most popular.

This helps us to improve the service we provide to you by ensuring that our users find the information they are looking for, by sharing anonymised demographic data with third parties to better target advertising to you, and by tracking the success of advertising campaigns on our website.

Social media:

To create links between our websites and social networks.

These cookies allow you to share content from the website on social media platforms (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). We have no control over these cookies as they are set by the social media platforms themselves.

Targeted advertising cookies:

To display relevant adverts for M.I.D.D- Maschinenhandling GmbH on other websites.

Advertising and targeting cookies are used to deliver adverts that are more relevant to you, but also to limit the number of times you see an advert and to determine the effectiveness of an advertising campaign by tracking users' clicks. They can also ensure the security of transactions. They are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with the website operator's permission, but can also be placed by the operator itself.

They may remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organisations, including other advertisers. However, they cannot identify who you are because the data collected is never linked to your profile.

Cookies from video providers:

These cookies originate from video providers such as YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo and other third-party services.

Note: Even if you do not give us permission to set advertising cookies, you may still see adverts for M.I.D.D- Maschinenhandling GmbH.

In this case, they are not based on your internet behaviour on the website(s) of M.I.D.D- Maschinenhandling GmbH.

Cookies related to analysing website usage, social media and advertising are only placed with your consent. M.I.D.D- Maschinenhandling GmbH is not obliged to obtain your consent for the placement of functional cookies.
