3. Cookies

The Internet pages of the PENTATONIC GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.

Cookies may contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites to identify the internet browser used.

Through the use of cookies we can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting. Cookies enable us to optimize the use of our websites for the users. An example is a cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop that remembers the articles a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart.

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by setting the browser preferences accordingly, and may thus permanently avoid the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies already set may be deleted at any time in the browser preferences or by other software programs. If the user deactivates cookies in his internet browser, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

4. Collection of General Data and Information

The website of the PENTATONIC GmbH collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, PENTATONIC GmbH does not draw any conclusions in respect of the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, PENTATONIC GmbH analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Google Analytics

On this website we use Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

11. Legal Basis for the Processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose, such as our newsletter. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when we process data while you are visiting our website or send us a message via our contact form or by using our contact data, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR.
