3.5 Newsletter

You have the option of subscribing to our newsletter, in which we inform you up to four times a month about offers and news from YT. The data collected can be seen from the registration form. To order our newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure, i.e. we will only send you the newsletter by e-mail if you confirm in our notification e-mail by clicking on a link that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided. If you confirm your e-mail address, we will store your e-mail address, the time of registration and the IP address used for registration until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. The sole purpose of this storage is to send you the newsletter and to be able to prove your registration.

We use the services of Salesforce to send newsletters. The provider is Salesforce Inc. Salesforce Tower, 415 Mission Street, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105, United States. Salesforce is a service that can be used to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters, among other things. If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g. email address), this data is stored on Salesforce's servers in Germany.

With the help of Salesforce, we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent with Salesforce, a file contained in the email (known as a web beacon) connects to the Salesforce servers in Germany. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. Technical information is also collected (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients and to understand the effectiveness of our advertising measures.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. A corresponding unsubscribe link can be found in every newsletter message. Alternatively, you can also send your unsubscribe request at any time to the contact details above. This will not incur any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates of your internet service provider. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from both our servers and the Salesforce servers after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the member area) remain unaffected by this. You can read more about this in Salesforce's privacy policy: https://www.salesforce.com/company/legal/privacy/#privacy-statement.

These are small text files that are stored on your end device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted again at the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies).

For smartphones, tablets and other mobile and stationary devices, you can find the necessary settings in the respective operating instructions.

However, we recommend that you leave the cookie functions fully activated, as only with cookies is it possible to further improve our website for your needs.

4.2 Technically necessary cookies

Cookies that are required to manage the website and carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. shopping cart function, language settings) are stored.

These cookies cannot be deactivated, but can be deleted if they are displayed to you.

4.3 Statistics and tracking cookies

Comfort Functions, statistics and tracking cookies are used to collect, store and analyze the data listed below.

a) Google Tag Manager

On our website, we use Google Tag Manager (hereinafter referred to as "GTM"), a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The Google Tag Manager is a tag management system that enables and simplifies the management and control of website tags via an interface. This means that the GTM only implements tags. Tags are small code elements such as tracking codes or conversion pixels from analysis tools, such as Google Analytics, which are integrated into our website. No additional cookies are used via the GTM and no user profiles are created, but only the loading of other analysis tools is controlled, which in turn collect data in order to measure user behavior on our website, display interest-based advertising and record the impact of advertisements. GTM does not access this data. You can find more information on data protection at Google here: https://policies.google.com/privacy and the data protection conditions for advertising here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en&gl=us

The information generated about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Your personal information will not be sold to Google.

This website uses the "demographic characteristics" function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and from visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person.

c) Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense, a service for integrating advertisements from Google Inc ("Google"). The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google AdSense uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons can be used to analyze information such as visitor traffic on these pages.

The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of this website (including your IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats is transmitted to a Google server and stored there. This information may be passed on by Google to contractual partners of Google. However, Google will not merge your IP address with other data stored by you.

d) Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google"). As part of Google AdWords, we use what is known as conversion tracking. If you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify the user. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

You can find more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

With the help of the Facebook pixel, it is possible for Facebook to determine you as a visitor to our online offer as a target group for the display of ads (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "custom audiences"). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of users and are not annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion").

Personal data is processed in the form of online identifiers (including cookie identifiers), IP addresses, device identifiers and information about device and browser settings. Microsoft Advertising collects data via UET that we can use to track target groups thanks to remarketing lists. For this purpose, a cookie is stored on the end device used when you visit our website. This enables Microsoft Advertising to recognize that our website has been visited and to display an advertisement when Microsoft Bing or Yahoo is used later. The information is also used to create conversion statistics, i.e. to record how many users have reached our website after clicking on an ad. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to our website.

However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

You can also deactivate personalized advertising at Microsoft at: https://account.microsoft.com/privacy/ad-settings/signedout?refd=yt-industries.atlassian.net&lang=en-US.
