3. Cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored by the browser. Some cookies are valid until the end of the browser session and are then automatically deleted (session cookies), while others are valid beyond that (persistent cookies). Cookies are used either to provide necessary website functions or functions requested by the user (necessary and functional cookies) or to create user profiles.
The data collected in the cookie is not merged with other data and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about a specific person.
You can prevent the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, and you can delete cookies at any time. However, this may mean that you are unable to use all the functions of our website.
We use necessary and functional cookies to protect legitimate interests in order to make the website user-friendly. No user profiles are created in the process. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
We use necessary and functional cookies for the following purposes:
• to store whether or not you have given consent for cookies to create user profiles (this cookie is valid for 12 months if you have given consent or 6 months if you have not given consent);
• to store whether you have switched off the information bar for establishing contact so that it is not displayed again (this cookie is valid for 30 days);
• to store whether you wish the embedded third-party content to be displayed immediately; otherwise, you must first activate such content in order to display it (this cookie is valid for 30 days).
4. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), on Fabely.com. Google Analytics uses persistent cookies to create user profiles. These cookies are only set if you have given your prior consent.
The information generated by the cookies about your use of Fabely is usually transferred to a server of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA and stored there. We have activated IP anonymization for this website, so your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states which are party to the agreement on the European Economic Area (“IP masking”). Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there.
On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of Fabely.com and to compile reports on the use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You have the option to prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser (see section 2.1). However, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can prevent the use of data by Google by downloading and installing the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics.
When personal data is transmitted to Google LLC in the United States, it is transmitted to a third country outside the scope of the GDPR. Since the United States has not been deemed to have an adequate level of data protection in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR, we use the standard contractual clauses as a suitable guarantee in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR. The standard contractual clauses are agreed between us and Google LLC as part of the commissioned data processing conditions. The standard contractual clauses are available at Standard Contractual Clauses. You can find more information about terms of use and data protection at Terms of Service for Google Analytics and at Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. At This is how Google uses cookies, you can find out how long the cookies are valid for.
We only use cookies for Google Analytics with your prior consent. The legal basis for the processing is then Art. 6 para. 1 letter a DSGVO/§ 25 para. 1 TTDSG. You can revoke your consent at any time by going to the cookie consents again and changing your selection. If you delete all cookies, you will be asked for your consent again the next time you visit our website.
