Standard data
When you use our website, our web server generally does not record your full IP address and the domain name of the computer used. The server is configured in such a way that the information required for individual identification is not automatically logged. Therefore, no personal or personally identifiable data can be created on our servers.

The server of the German Coffee Association does not log any data that would allow users to be individually identified. You can use the online offer of the German Coffee Association anonymously or under a pseudonym.

Only in the event of attempted misuse or server errors is it possible for a so-called log file to be started for error analysis. The IP address, the specific address of the page you called up, possibly the page from which you called up the website of the German Coffee Association (link source), the transmitted identifier of the browser, and the system date and time of the page call can be recorded. This data will be deleted immediately after the error has been rectified and will only be used to analyze the error. The German Coffee Association cannot link the log data to a person.

Statistical evaluation

Tracking via Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. We are thus pursuing the interest of a needs-oriented design of our online offer in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit f) GDPR. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand 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 will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; we would like to point out to you however that in this case you will if applicable not be able to use all functions of this website in full.

Use of Facebook Custom Audience
The website uses the “Custom Audiences” function of Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”). This means that users of the website can be shown interest-based advertisements (“Facebook Ads”) when they visit the social network Facebook or other websites that also use the process. We are thus pursuing the interest of a needs-oriented design of our online offer in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit f) DSGVO.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Facebook server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and are therefore informing you according to our state of knowledge: By integrating Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you have visited the corresponding website of ours, accessed our website, or clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and store your IP address and other identifiers.

We do not transmit any (hashed) e-mail addresses to Facebook, and we do not carry out any kind of automatic, extended comparison in which further user data would be transmitted.
