COLOP offers users the option of getting in touch with COLOP using an online form: Users enter the required data in particular name, email address, country, company, phone number, address, business activity of company and message into an online form and transmit this to COLOP using an encrypted connection.

Depending on the specific content and scope of your request, this transfer may be necessary within the meaning of Article 49(1)(b) GDPR for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject’s request, in cases where the local COLOP partner can better and more purposeful answer your request. If the local COLOP partner is located in a third country, you are hereby informed of the possible risks of such transfer due to the absence of an adequacy decision and appropriate safeguards (inadequate data protection level in third countries).

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by calling +43 (0)7242/66 104, or sending a fax to +43 (0)7242/46 664 or an e-mail to [javascript protected email address].

Cookies are used or placed without your prior consent only in those cases where the sole purpose is the execution or transmission of a message via a communication network or if it is absolutely essential so that COLOP can provide the service of the information company that you expressly requested. In these cases, you can prevent the use of placement of cookies by making the relevant changes in your browser settings.

3.3 Facebook Pixel, Facebook Custom Audiences and Facebook Conversion
Our website uses the remarketing function known as Facebook Pixel. Essentially, this function is provided by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. To the best of our knowledge, users within the European Union are provided with this service by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

The purpose of this remarketing function is to present visitors to this website with advertising that reflects the interests of the viewer (known as Facebook Ads or Instagram-Ads), provided that these people use the social network “Facebook” and/or the social network “Instagram”, create audience segments (Custom Audiences) and analyse the Facebook and Instagram users' response (Facebook Conversion). When called up at our end, the Facebook Pixel remarketing function embedded in this website establishes a direct connection to the servers on the Facebook social network and/or of the social network "Instagram". This communicates to the Facebook social network server and/or Instagram social network server that you have visited this page. Facebook and Instagram will then process this information, where necessary it may assign it to your Facebook account or Instagram account, and will then use it to generate interest-based advertising.

The legal basis for using the Facebook Pixel remarketing function is defined in Art 6 Para. 1 lit f GDPR (legitimate interest) because we have a legitimate interest in the analysis of visitor behaviour which enables us to adapt our web offering and/or our advertising to suit the interests of visitors.

You do, however, have the option of opposing the use of this function. One way of doing this is to select the settings in Facebook and/or Instagram that define the types of ads displayed. Furthermore, you can disable the use of facebook cookies on our website altogether, by clicking

3.4 Google Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc. (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses so-called ‘cookies’, text files that are stored on your computer and that allow the analysis of the use you make of our website. In particular, we have also enabled the use of demographic data by Google Analytics (Google Signals). The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and is stored there.

Because we have enabled IP anonymisation on our website, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA where it is then shortened.

Google will use this information to analyse how you use our website, to generate reports about website activities for the website operator, to compile demographic statistics relating to users of the website and to provide further services associated with the use of the website and of the internet. Google may pass on this information to third parties if this is legally required or if third parties process these data on behalf of Google.

If you wish to disable Google Analytics for all web pages, download and install the following browser add-on for your web browser: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on

If you wish for your visit to our website not to be tracked by Google Analytics:

3.5 Google Remarketing
Our website uses the remarketing function Google Remarketing from Google, Inc.

The purpose of this remarketing function is to present visitors to this website with advertising that reflects the interests of the viewer in the context of the Google advertising network. To do this, your browser stores what are known as ‘cookies’ on our terminal device. These enable the Google advertising network to recognise visitors when they call up a website. Google then processes this information and uses it to generate interests-based advertising.

The legal basis for using the Google Remarketing function is defined in Art 6 Para. 1 lit f GDPR (legitimate interest) because we have a legitimate interest in the analysis of visitor behaviour which enables us to adapt our web offering and/or our advertising to suit the interests of visitors.

3.6 Google Adwords Conversion Tracking
Our website also uses the Google Adwords Conversion Tracking function from Google, Inc. This tool is an analysis service provided by Google Inc. which causes what is known as a ‘cookie’ to be set after you have clicked on option on your terminal device. These cookies ensure that information provided to us only remains available for a limited period of time, they do not store any personal details and therefore cannot be used for identification purposes. While a cookie is still valid, and if you visit a specific page on our website during that time, we and Google can both tell that you clicked an ad that caused you to be redirected to this page. The purpose of this tool is to produce conversion strategies. Here we learn about the total number of users who clicked our ads and could then be redirected to a page provided with a conversion tracking tag.

The legal basis for using the Google Adwords Conversion Tracking function is defined in Art 6 Para. 1 lit f GDPR (legitimate interest) because we have a legitimate interest in the analysis of visitor behaviour which enables us to adapt our web offering and/or our advertising to suit the interests of visitors.

3.7 LinkedIn
Our website also uses LinkedIn social media plugins. This means that certain contents of the LinkedIn platform are implemented on our site. We do not perform data processing. However, if your a customer or client on the LinkedIn platform, your details may get processed by LinkedIn.

For more information, please consult the LinkedIn data privacy statement: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

LinkedIn Insight Tag
Our website also uses the ‘Insight Tag’ on the social media platform ‘LinkedIn’, operated by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. This is a Javascript code that is added to our website and that makes it possible to collect data about visits to our website, including URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties, time stamp and page views. This data is encrypted, anonymised within seven days, and that anonymised data is then deleted within 90 days. LinkedIn does not share any personal details with us as the owner and operator of the website. Instead, it only provides summary reports about the website target group and the advertising performance value. LinkedIn also offers a ‘retargeting’ service to website visitors. This data enables the owners of the website to display targeted advertising outside its website without this causing the member to be identified. Members of LinkedIn can manage the use of their personal details for promotional purposes in their account settings (reference to: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/advertising/actions-that-showed-interest).

Further information can be found in LinkedIn’s privacy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
