Cookies
Our website uses cookies. These are small text files which your web browser stores on your device. Cookies help us to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure.
Some cookies are “session cookies”. These cookies are deleted automatically at the end of your browser session. On the other hand, other cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself. Such cookies help us to recognise you when you return to our website and access data about your last visit(s) to our site.
You can use a modern web browser to monitor, restrict or prevent the setting of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured so that cookies are automatically deleted when the programme is closed. Deactivating cookies may result in limited functionality of our website.
Cookies which are necessary for the exercise of electronic communication processes or the provision of certain functions desired by you are set based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and seamless provision of our services. If other cookies are stored (e.g. for analytics purposes), these are covered separately in this Privacy Policy.
Google Analytics
Our website uses features of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider of this service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

IP anonymisation
We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymisation function. Your IP address will be truncated by Google within the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States and thus anonymised. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide additional services associated with the use of the website and Internet to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
Browser plugin
You can prevent the setting of cookies using your browser. However, some features of our website may therefore be restricted. Likewise, you can prevent the collection of data regarding your website use, including your IP address and subsequent processing by Google. This is possible by downloading and installing the browser plug-in that can be accessed via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Demographic features of Google Analytics
Our website uses the “demographic features” function by Google Analytics. It can be used to generate reports that contain statements on the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. These data come from interest-based advertising from Google and third-party visitor data. It is not possible to assign or connect such data to a specific person. You can disable this feature at any time. You can disable this feature at any time by adjusting the ads settings in your Google account or you can generally forbid the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section “Objecting to the collection of data”.
Matomo (formerly Piwik)
Our website uses the web analysis service Matomo. Matomo uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device and that enable us to analyse your use of our website. Information generated by cookies about your use of our website is stored on our server. Your IP address is anonymised before being saved.
Matomo cookies will remain on your device until you delete them.
Matomo cookies are set on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour on an anonymised basis in order to optimise our website and marketing processes.
The information stored in the Matomo cookie about your use of this website will not be passed on. You can prevent cookies from being set by using your browser settings. However, some features of our website may therefore be restricted.
You may deactivate the storage and use of your data by Matomo. Your browser then sets an opt-out cookie which prevents the storage of Matomo usage data. If you delete your cookies, the Matomo opt-out cookie will also be deleted. If you visit our website again, the opt-out cookie to prevent the storage and use of your data will need to be set again.
Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking
Our website uses Google AdWords. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States.
AdWords is an online advertising programme. As part of the online advertising programme, we work with conversion tracking. A cookie is stored for conversion tracking once an ad placed by Google has been clicked on. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Google AdWords cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to identify the user personally. The cookie enables Google and us to recognise that you clicked on an ad and were redirected to our website.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies are not traceable via AdWords customers' websites. Conversion cookies are used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. AdWords customers can see how many users clicked on their ad and were redirected to pages with a conversion tracking tag. However, AdWords customers receive no information that enables the users to be identified personally. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to its use. Here, the conversion cookie must be deactivated in the user settings of the browser. This will mean that it is not included in conversion tracking statistics.
"Conversion cookies" are stored on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We as website operators have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise our website service and our advertising.
For details about Google AdWords and Google conversion tracking, please see Google's privacy policy at : https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
You can use a modern web browser to monitor, restrict or prevent the setting of cookies. Deactivating cookies may result in limited functionality of our website.
Your rights
As the data subject (natural person whose personal data is being processed), you have various rights within the framework of the processing of your data. We expressly refer to your right to object pursuant to Article 21 GDPR.
Right to information
You have the right to request information as to which personal data concerning you we process, for which purposes, and a copy of the data.
Withdrawing your consent for the processing of your data
Some data processing procedures are possible only with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal notification by email to datenschutz@werkbliq.de is sufficient to withdraw consent. The legality of the data processing performed prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority
As a data subject affected by a data protection infringement, you have a right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority with regard to data protection issues is the data protection officer of the federal state in which you are based.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract provided to you or to third parties. It shall be provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another data controller, it shall be transferred only to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Right to rectification and deletion (to be forgotten)
Your data will be supplemented without undue delay if you notify us. You also have the right to request the erasure of your data without undue delay insofar as the data are no longer required for the purpose of processing or you have withdrawn your consent.
Right to restriction
You have the right to restrict your data. This is permissible if the correctness of the data is disputed, if the processing is unlawful and if the purpose of processing has been achieved but the data are required to assert legal claims of the data subject. The right to data storage shall remain unaffected.
Right to object
You can object to the future processing of your personal data in accordance with Article 21 GDPR at any time (datenschutz@werkbliq.de). The objection may be directed against all processing activities which are based on our legitimate interest, in particular against processing for direct marketing purposes.
Security measures
In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation, we take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk, taking into account current technology, implementation costs, the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing, and the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
These measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling both physical access to the data and associated access, input, transmission, security of availability and its separation.
In addition, we take the protection of personal data into account as early as the development or selection of hardware, software and procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection through technology design and data protection-friendly defaults (Article 25 GDPR). Data is stored exclusively in the Microsoft Cloud data centres in Europe (Amsterdam).
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content which you send to us via the website, our website uses SSL and TLS encryption. This means that data which you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the "https://" address line of your browser and the lock symbol in the browser line.
Forwarding to third parties
If you have shared personal data with us, these data, as a matter of principle, will not be disclosed to third parties.
Status and updating of the Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy was created on 19.01.2021. From time to time it will be necessary to amend the content of this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to modify it at any time.
