Our Internet pages use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites. Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. displaying videos or providing registration forms). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested or to optimize the website (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified.
The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

The borlabs cookie stores the consent you gave when you entered the website. If you wish to revoke this consent, simply delete the cookie in your browser. When you re-enter/reload the website, you will be asked for your cookie consent again.
SSL-Verschlüsselung
We always use up-to-date encryption methods according to the HTTPS standard, such as SSL. This enables us to secure data transmission and protect the information transmitted.
Newsletter
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties. The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
This website uses Brevo to send newsletters. The provider is Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany. Brevo is a service with which, among other things, the sending of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter is stored on the servers of Sendinblue GmbH in Germany. Our newsletter is sent by Brevo on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). This means that we may only send you a newsletter if you have actively subscribed to it beforehand. If consent is not required, the newsletter is sent on the basis of the legitimate interest in direct marketing (Article 6(1)(f)), insofar as this is permitted by law. We record your registration process.
With the help of Brevo, we are able to analyze our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on. In this way, we can determine, among other things, which links were clicked on particularly often. We can also recognize whether certain previously defined actions were carried out after opening/clicking (conversion rate).
The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this. You will find a link to unsubscribe from the newsletter in the respective newsletter. To withdraw your consent, simply send an email to info@confovis.com
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

Plugins and Tools
Embedded Vimeo videos
This website uses plugins from the video portal Vimeo. The provider is Vimeo Inc, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. When you visit one of our pages featuring a Vimeo video, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established. This tells the Vimeo server which of our pages you have visited. Vimeo also obtains your IP address. This also applies if you are not logged in to Vimeo or do not have a Vimeo account. The information collected by Vimeo is transmitted to the Vimeo server in the USA.
If you are logged into your Vimeo account, you enable Vimeo to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account. Vimeo uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting) to recognize website visitors.
The use of Vimeo is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission and, according to Vimeo, on “legitimate business interests”.

Google Analytics

This excludes the possibility of personal identification. If the user data collected is personally identifiable, this is therefore immediately excluded. The personal data will be deleted immediately.
Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate the user’s IP address with any other data held by Google.

Google Ads
We use Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program from Google Inc. Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms in Google. This is called keyword targeting. Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on the user data available on Google (e.g. location data and interests): Audience targeting. As the website operator, Confovis can evaluate this data quantitatively, for example by analyzing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many advertisements led to corresponding clicks.
The use of Google Ads is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in marketing its services and products as effectively as possible.
The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.
Conversion tracking from Google
This website uses conversion tracking as part of “Google Ads”. This is an analysis service of Google Inc (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”).
When you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on the user’s computer. These cookies are valid for 30 days and do not contain any personal data. Personal identification is therefore not possible. If you visit this website before the cookie expires, both Google and we can recognize that the user has clicked on a specific ad and has been redirected to this page. Cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers, as each Google Ads customer receives a separate cookie.
The information can be used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers. This includes, for example, information about the total number of users who have clicked on the ad. It is not possible to personally identify users. Participation in tracking can be prevented by preventing the installation of cookies by setting your browser accordingly. You can also prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent your data from being collected on future visits to this website: Deactivate Google Analytics Further information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de and https://policies.google.com/privacy?l=de
Use of remarketing
This website uses the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing. Google Remarketing analyzes user behavior on our website, for example, clicks on certain products, in order to classify users into specific advertising target groups and then display suitable advertising messages to them when they visit other online offers (remarketing or retargeting).
Furthermore, the advertising target groups created with Google Remarketing can be linked to Google’s cross-device functions. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to the user depending on previous usage and surfing behavior on one end device (e.g. cell phone) can also be displayed on another end device of the user (e.g. tablet or PC). If you have a Google account, you can object to personalized advertising by clicking on the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/ . The use of Google Remarketing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time. Further information and the data protection provisions can be found in Google’s privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de.
Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags via an interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not collect any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Microsoft Advertising
The website uses “Microsoft Advertising” technologies from Microsoft Corporation One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA. Microsoft stores a cookie on your device if you have reached this website via a Microsoft Bing ad. In this way, Microsoft and we can recognize that someone has clicked on an ad, has been redirected to our website and has reached a previously determined target page (“conversion site”). We only learn the total number of users who clicked on a Bing ad and were then redirected to the conversion site. Microsoft collects, processes and uses information via the cookie, from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms. These user profiles are used to analyze visitor behavior and are used to display advertisements. No personal information about the identity of the user is processed.
If you do not want information about your behavior to be used by Microsoft as explained above, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, by using a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website and the processing of this data by Microsoft by clicking on the following link: http://choice.microsoft.com/de-DE/opt-out to declare your objection. Further information on data protection and the cookies used by Microsoft and Bing Ads can be found on the Microsoft website at https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement
Leadinfo
We use the lead generation service of Leadinfo B.V., Rotterdam, Netherlands. This recognizes visits from companies to our website based on IP addresses and shows us publicly available information, such as company names or addresses. In addition, Leadinfo sets two first-party cookies to evaluate user behavior on our website and processes domains from form entries (e.g. “leadinfo.com”) in order to correlate IP addresses with companies and improve the services.
