This Cookie Notice describes how PCI Augsburg GmbH, Piccardstraße 11, 86159 Augsburg, Germany ("we" or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and store information when you visit our websites. For more information about our data processing activities, including information about your rights, please see our https://www.pci-augsburg.eu/en/privacy-policy.

1. What are cookies and what information do they collect?
When you visit our websites or view our services online, we or an authorized third party may send you a cookie. Cookies are small text files that can be stored on your device. When a website is accessed, a cookie placed on a device sends information to the party that placed the cookie. Cookies are widely used on a number of websites. Each cookie usually contains the name of the domain from which the cookie originated, the "lifetime" of the cookie, and usually the IP address or other unique number of the device and may therefore contain personal data, i.e. information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

2. Session and persistent cookies
Our websites may store session and persistent cookies on your device. The difference between a session and a persistent cookie refers to the duration of the cookie. Session cookies are cookies that are usually valid for as long as you use your browser or browsing session. When you end your browsing session, the cookie expires. Persistent cookies, as the name suggests, are persistent and are persisted even after the browser is closed. This allows, for example, faster and often more convenient access to our website.

3. Types of cookies, purpose of cookies and legal basis for cookies
We use different types of cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: Strictly necessary cookies are required to browse the website and use the website's features. If you disable required cookies, the functionality of the website will be affected. The legal basis for the storage of information in the end user's terminal equipment and/or access to information already stored in the end user's terminal equipment is Section 25 (2) No. 2 TDDD. The legal basis for the subsequent processing of your personal data is the legitimate interests of us of third parties (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
  • Website improvement cookies: These cookies allow us to process information about the use of the website and the extent to which individual users use it. This includes whether a user has visited the website before, which website they are coming from, the general use of the website and the areas that users prefer, which allows us to improve the performance of the website and the user experience when using this website. The legal basis for storing information in the End User's terminal equipment and/or accessing information already stored in the End User's terminal equipment is your consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) TDDDG. The legal basis for the subsequent processing of your personal data is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
We would like to point out that in connection with cookies, personal data may be transmitted to US service providers and merged with other personal data. If data is transferred to third countries such as the USA, there is a risk that this data will be accessed by public authorities without this being communicated and without there being any possibility of redress against it. With your consent, you also consent to the transfer of data to unsafe third countries.

4. First-party and third-party cookies
First-party cookies may be stored on our websites so that third parties can place cookies on your device. The difference between a first-party cookie and a third-party cookie relates to the control of the party serving the cookie. First-party cookies are cookies that are specific to the website from which they were created. Their use allows us to operate an efficient service and track the behavior of visitors to the website. Third-party cookies, on the other hand, are placed on your device by third-party (i.e. not us). While we may allow third parties to access the Site to place these cookies on users' devices, we do not control or retain access to the information provided by the cookies. The legal basis for collecting information about third-party cookies depends on the type of cookie, see above.

5. Cookies used on our websites
The cookies used on our website are described in detail in our cookie settings. There you will find the name of the cookie, the file(s), an explanation, the lifespan, the type of cookie and the recipients, as well as appropriate security measures, if any.

6. Withdrawing consent, disabling, cookies, browser settings
If you have given your consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect via our cookie settings. The lawfulness of the processing prior to the withdrawal of consent will not be affected by such withdrawal.
You can also change your choices for the use of certain types of cookies and similar technologies in our cookie settings.

In addition, most web browsers allow at least some control over most cookies through the browser settings. You can refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser to refuse cookies. You can also delete existing cookies through your browser.
