   We would like to point out that this service uses cookies. It is not a prerequisite for the usage of the service that the Visitor/User accepts the cookies. However, some functions might not be available if cookies are blocked.
   
   
   • What are cookies?
     A cookie is a small text file, which is sent by the respective servers when the service is visited and cached on the hard drive of the respective User. If the respective server is once again contacted, the User’s browser will send the previously received cookie back to the server. The server can analyze the information received through this procedure in different ways. There are generally two types of cookies. First, there are session cookies which are only stored for a respective visitor session. This means that the cookies will be automatically deleted once the Visitor/User closes the respective service. Second, there are temporary/permanent cookies which are stored on the User’s data carrier for a longer period of time or indefinitely.
     
     
   • How does IXPRO® Technologies use cookies?
     IXPRO® Technologies uses session cookies as well as temporary/permanent cookies for its services. When a User visits a service, the cookies are sent to the User’s browser and stored on the User’s hard drive. These cookies help to make our offer more user-friendly, more effective and safer. The cookies do not contain any personal data or personal information on the User so that it is not possible to identify a person based on the information obtained by means of the cookies. The obtained information serves exclusively for the purpose of creating statistics on the usage of our offer. Thus, we can optimally adapt our offer to the wishes of you, our Client. The session cookies are automatically deleted from the Client’s hard drive at the end of the browser session. However, IXPRO® Technologies also uses cookies that remain permanently on the User's hard drive. These cookies are required for identifying the Visitor upon his next visit and for determining which settings and entries the specific User requires. These cookies remain on the hard drive and delete themselves automatically after the predetermined period of time.
     
     If you activate auto login, the respective page of our online offer will also set a cookie, which, in this case, will store your registration data in order to identify you the next time you use the service so that you do not have to login again.

     We use the following tracking tools for our services:
     
     Google Analytics

Google Analytics uses cookies which make it possible to analyze your usage of our online offer. The information on your usage of our offer (including your IP address) generated by the cookies is sent to a Google server for the anonymization of the IP address so that the option to trace the data back to an individual is excluded. Only after the anonymization of the IP address, this shortened IP address will be transmitted to a server in the United States. Only in exceptional cases, the complete IP address will be transmitted to and shortened on a Google server in the United States. As commissioned by us, Google will use the information generated by the cookies in order to analyze your usage of the offer, to compile reports on the usage of the offer and to provide additional services in connection with the usage of the offer and general Internet usage.

Examples of such so-called social plugins are the Facebook recommendation function, the Facebook “Like” button, the Facebook “Share” button, the Facebook “Livestream” and the Facebook comments box. These functions are constantly further developed and extended by Facebook. Such a so-called social plugin is marked by means of a clearly visible Facebook logo (e.g. a white “f” on a blue square or a “thumbs up” symbol) or by the addition “Facebook social plugin”. If a respective webpage containing such so-called social plugins is opened, the User's browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. If the User is registered with Facebook and logged into his Facebook user account, Facebook will receive the information that the respective webpage was opened by the User. If the User actively uses a so-called social plugin, for example by clicking on the “Like” or the “Share” button, or by leaving a comment in the comments box on the respective webpage, the corresponding information will be directly transmitted by the User’s browser to Facebook, where it will be used.

In addition, the User might have to delete existing cookies from Facebook from its own browser.
