Cookies are small text files that are sent when you visit a website and stored in the user’s browser. If the corresponding website is accessed again, the user’s browser sends back the contents of the cookies, thus enabling the user to be recognized. Third-party technologies such as scripts, pixels and tags, which www.elemendion.de integrates on www.elemendion.de for advertising purposes, also set cookies on your device. Certain cookies are automatically deleted after the browser session ends (so-called session cookies), others are stored for a specified time or permanently in the user’s browser and then delete themselves automatically (so-called temporary or permanent cookies).

Which cookies do we generally use?
Depending on their function and purpose, elemendion.de cookies are divided into different categories.

“Essential” cookies
Certain cookies are necessary to ensure that our online offering is safe and secure
can be provided in a user-friendly manner. This category includes, for example:

Cookies that serve to identify or authenticate our users,
Cookies to ensure the security of information technology systems,
Anti-abuse cookies,
Cookies that temporarily store certain user input
These cookies enable you to move around our website safely and use the functions as desired. Without these cookies, essential services from elemendion.de could not be provided. We only use these cookies when you visit our website. They are usually deleted after closing your browser. These cookies are also used to display the optimized website display when accessed with a mobile device so that your data volume is not used unnecessarily. The legal basis is our legitimate interest and the users of our website that elemendion.de can be used safely and easily and that the quality of our website and the content is constantly improved. No consent is required for the use of “Essential” cookies. They cannot be deactivated. You can find an overview and further information about the “essential” cookies we use here.

“Statistics” cookies
“Statistics” cookies enable us to record the usage behavior (e.g. advertising banners clicked, sub-pages visited, search queries made) of our users. We collect information about how users interact with our website. This allows us to recognize which pages have been visited and to get a complete picture of user activity on our website. This category includes, for example:

Cookies to create personalized content profiles,
Cookies to select personalized content,
Cookies to measure content performance.
The purpose of using “statistics” cookies is to improve the performance of the website and to tailor elemendion.de to the needs of users in order to make www.elemendion.de more user-friendly. We also need statistical information about the use of our online offering and therefore carry out reach measurements, which we evaluate in statistical form and thus obtain comparable values across the market. In this context, we use cookies or by evaluating log files to create user profiles. As a rule, we either do not use users’ IP addresses at all or shorten them immediately after they are collected. “Statistics” cookies can also ensure useful functions. Such cookies are only used when the corresponding function is activated or requested by you. Since we want to offer you a website that is designed for optimal user-friendliness, “statistics cookies” are usually activated as soon as you visit our website. However, you can deactivate these cookies at any time – either via the buttons provided or via the settings in your browser. Data collected using “statistics” cookies cannot be used to identify you personally or to track your activities on other websites. The legal basis for the use of “statistics” cookies is, on the one hand, the legitimate interest of elemendion.de in gaining insights into the market value of the website in direct comparison with third-party websites. The legitimate interest also arises from the economic usability of the insights resulting from the reach measurement. On the other hand, the legal basis is your consent. This applies, for example, to the formation of user categories, which form the basis for an interest-based alignment of advertising materials or advertising measures. You can find an overview and more detailed information about the “statistics” cookies we use here. With tools that work with opt-out cookies, it should be noted that the opt-out function is device or browser-related and generally only applies to the device or browser currently being used. If you use multiple devices or browsers, you must set the opt-out on each individual device and in each browser used.

We also use cookies for advertising purposes Legal basis for the processing of personal data in connection with “cookies”

If we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
For the processing of personal data that is required to fulfill the contractual relationship with www.elemendion.de, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of www.elemendion.de or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
If the legal basis is your consent, you are entitled to revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. If the legal basis is legitimate interest, you are also entitled to object to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. Art. 21 GDPR applies in this respect.
