Cookies help us to determine how often our website is used and by how many users. It also makes it as convenient and efficient as possible for you to use our website. We use session cookies which are temporarily stored while you use one of our websites as well as permanent cookies to store information about computers which repeatedly access our website.

We use permanent cookies to record the number of times you visit our website, the amount of time you spend on our website, start and end of use and your interest in our products.

The content of a permanent cookie is limited to an identification number. Name, IP address or other information regarding your true identity are not stored, and we do not set up any individual profiles regarding your pattern of use. Permanent cookies are automatically deleted. Storage duration varies depending on the cookie. You may delete permanent cookies at any time under the security settings of your web browser.

If personal data is processed using cookies, processing will be carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is advertising.

c) Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). With Google Tag Manager, tags from Google and third-party services can be managed, bundled and embedded through one interface. Tags are small code elements on an online presence that are used, among other things, to measure visitor numbers and behaviour, capture the impact of online advertising and social channels, use remarketing and targeting, and test and optimise online presences. The tags and scripts are also able to set and forward cookies. When a user visits the website, the current tag configuration is sent to the user's browser. It contains statements about which tags are to be triggered. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags that may themselves collect data. Finally, for technically providing the service, the user’s IP number will be processed. We entered into a data processing agreement with Google. The Google TagManager is used due to your prior consent (Art. 6 para. 1 (a) UK GDPR).

d) wiredminds

Products and services of wiredminds GmbH (www.wiredminds.de) are used on our website for marketing and optimization purposes. User profiles can be created by processing this data under a pseudonym. Where possible and appropriate, user profiles are fully anonymized. Cookies may be used for this purpose. The data collected, which may include personal data, is transmitted to wiredminds or collected directly by wiredminds. wiredminds may use information left on the website by visitors to create anonymized user profiles. Without the separately granted consent of the person concerned, the data collected will not be used to personally identify the user of this website and will not be merged with the personal data via the vehicle of the pseudonym. If IP addresses are collected, these will be immediately anonymized after they are collected by deleting the last number block.

e) Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a website analysis service of Google Inc. (www.google.co.uk). Google Analytics uses "cookies", text data which is stored on your computer and enables your use of our website to be analysed. The information created by the cookie concerning your use of the website is regularly transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, when the IP address is anonymised on this website your IP address is shortened by Google before transmission within the Member States of the European Union and other signatories of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional circumstances is the complete IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. IP anonymisation is used on this website. On behalf of Ensinger Group Ltd, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website in order to compile reports on website activities and provide further services to Ensinger Group Ltd associated with the use of the website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Your data will be automatically deleted after 14 months at the latest.

You can disable the storage of cookies by changing the settings of your browser software accordingly (see 6 below). Please note, however, that you may then not be able to use all of the functions of the website in full.

Personal data is processed by Google Analytics on the basis of Art. 6 (1f) GDPR. This serves as the basis for our legitimate interest in advertising.

f) Lead Forensics

This website uses Lead Forensics (https://www.leadforensics.com) an IP address-based web analysis service for website optimization and analysis of our Internet content, advertising and lead generation. Lead Forensics works on the basis of reverse business IP tracking, which is not the same as cookies. Instead a code is used, which tracks IP addresses visiting our website, identifies them as business related and matches them to a wholly owned global database of businesses and business information. The software is almost entirely focused on leveraging business related information to effectively match a business IP address with wider business data to provide valuable business related visitor information to us, such as the date and duration of the user’s visit, and the web pages which the user visits. This data may be used by us to contact the business about their experience or for marketing purposes. We will not pass this data to third parties for any reason. Furthermore, Lead Forensics does not identify any personal IP addresses, mobile devices or any other data than that associated with the business. It does not, and cannot, provide individual, personal or sensitive data regarding who has visited our website.

All data within the Lead Forensics solution is verified at least once in a 12 months cycle. Any invalid records are placed into a deletion queue, which is then securely purged four times in a 12 months period.

You can object to data being processed by Lead Forensics by clicking the link in section 6 below.

Processing of data takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1f) GDPR. This is based on our legitimate interest of continuous improvement of our website.

g) Contact form

You can use our contact form to send us messages and questions. The data you enter in the contact form is initially transferred to Ensinger Group Ltd in the UK. Then your data is transmitted to the appropriate company of the Ensinger Group to address your concern. Afterwards it is deleted. We only use your data to respond to your contact inquiry.

You are not contractually required to provide personal data when you contact us. However, please note that we cannot address your inquiry if the information marked as such is not provided.

To address your inquiry your data is stored until the inquiry has been completely processed, for a maximum period of six weeks, then it is deleted. This does not apply to data which is required for invoicing or accounting purposes; in the UK we are required by law to keep these records for a period of 6 years.

The data you provide is processed as it is necessary for the performance of a contract in accordance with Art. 6 (1b) GDPR.

j) Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps to show the locations that belong to the Ensinger Group and to produce directions. This is a service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA.

Based on certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active) Google guarantees compliance with the data protection regulations of the EU, even when data is processed in the USA.

When you access the integrated component Google Maps, Google stores a cookie on your device via your web browser. Your user settings and data are processed in order to display the relevant location and to produce directions. It cannot be ruled out that Google will use servers in the USA.

By creating the connection to Google in this way, Google can identify the website from which your request is sent and the IP address to which the directions must be sent.

You can prevent cookies being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software (see section 6 below); however, we would point out that by doing so you may not be able to enjoy the full functionality of this website.

Access data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) f) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation - GDPR. This is based on our legitimate interest in making the locations shown on our websites easier to find.

k) Google Fonts

This website uses Google Fonts to depict external font types. This is a service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA.

These fonts have been integrated locally on this website so that they can be displayed. When you access the page, it is not possible for any link to Google servers to be created. It is not possible to identify the website from which your request is sent or the IP address to which the depiction of the font is sent. No protected data is transferred.

l) Social Media

Our website integrates so-called 2-click social buttons from Facebook, LinkedIn and Xing. If, when using our website, you are logged into one of the above networks at the same time, no data will be automatically transferred. Only when you activate the respective button with a 2nd click will a direct connection be established between your browser and the server of the selected social media service. In this way, the provider of the network is informed that you have accessed our website with your IP address, and would like to share the site you are visiting on the respective social network. By clicking once more, you agree to the transfer of the respective data and to sharing the page.

In addition, so-called social bookmarks from the same services are integrated on the website. Social bookmarks are web links to a company’s social media channels. After clicking on the link or the corresponding image, you will be transferred to the respective provider’s website, which means that only then will user information be transferred to the respective provider.

Please note that we do not receive any information about the contents and use of the data transferred from the respective provider. For more detailed information about how your personal data is dealt with when you use social networks, please refer to the respective provider’s privacy policy.

m) LinkedIn Insight-Tag

On our websites, we integrate the service "LinkedIn Insight-Tag" of LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Ave, Sunnyvale, California 94085, USA. The LinkedIn Insight tag enables the collection of data on visits to our website.

We do not receive any personal data from LinkedIn members, only reports and notifications (in which members are not identified) about the website audience and ad performance. Retargeting also gives us the ability to display targeted ads outside of our website without identifying the member. We also use the data to improve the relevance of ads and reach members across devices. "LinkedIn Conversion Tracking" creates statistics for us from which we can see how many users responded to our ads and in what way. Based on these statistics, we can optimize the effectiveness of our advertising and control our advertising strategy. In particular, LinkedIn enables us to create target groups for "LinkedIn Retargeting" (target group-oriented advertising) on the basis of this data and to address them via LinkedIn ads. 

Members of LinkedIn can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings.

The data will be deleted within 30 days.

Insofar as we use optional cookies and similar technologies as part of the integration of the service or insofar as data is stored in or read from your terminal device by the service, this is done in accordance with Section 25 (1) TTDSG. The processing of personal data is based on your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the EU-DSGVO.

You can revoke consent you have already given at any time in the cookie settings. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

When using "LinkedIn Conversion Tracking", the processing of your data may also take place in countries outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) in third countries without an adequate level of data protection, in particular in the USA. If your data is transferred to third countries, there is a risk that authorities there may access your data for security and monitoring purposes without you being informed or being able to appeal. To ensure an adequate level of data protection when transferring your data to LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Ave, Sunnyvale, California 94085, USA, standard contractual clauses of the European Commission have been concluded in accordance with Article 46 (2) (c), (5) sentence 2 EU-DSGVO and further technical measures have been taken. In principle, we have no influence on further data processing by the third-party provider. Further information on the handling of personal data by LinkedIn can be found at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

n) Meta Pixel

We have implemented the Meta Pixel service of Meta Platforms, Inc, 1601 Willow Road Menlo Park, California 94025, USA, on our website.
