III.    Collection and processing of personal data when accessing the Aurubis AG website

1. When you access our website, as part of our system security measures our web server automatically temporarily collects

  • the access data of the inquiring computer,
  • the Aurubis AG web pages that you visit,
  • the date and duration of access,
  • the type of internet browser and operating system used as well as
  • the domain name of the website from which you came.


This data will only be processed for the duration of your access to our website. After you have left our website, this personal data will be deleted.
   

2. We use cookies on this website. Cookies are small text files that are used by websites to make the user experience more efficient, to provide certain functions or to enable certain evaluations. This site uses different types of cookies. Some cookies are placed by third parties that appear on our pages. We have no technical influence on these cookies set by third parties.

2.1

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” text files that are stored on your computer and that make it possible to analyze your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie concerning your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the US, where it is stored. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, Google will truncate your IP address in advance within European Union Member States or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional situations will your full IP address be transmitted to Google servers in the United States and truncated there. Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage for us as website operators.

Google will not associate the IP address transferred by your browser in the context of Google Analytics with any other data held by Google.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting data generated by cookies that relates to your use of the website (including your IP address), and from processing this data, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available here: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Our website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp ()". As a result, IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, so that they cannot be linked to a person. If there is any personal reference in the data collected about you, this will therefore be excluded immediately and the personal data will be erased promptly.

We use Google Analytics so that we can analyze the use of our website and improve it regularly. The statistics obtained allow us to improve our site and design it in a more appealing way for you as a user. For the exceptions in which personal data is transmitted to the US, Google is subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
