Cookies

When you visit our website, information is stored on your computer in the form of a cookie within your browser software. A cookie is a small file of numbers and letters that is downloaded to a device (e.g. computer, smartphone) when certain websites are accessed. Cookies allow a website to recognize a user's device and help the website remember information about preferences. This means that you do not have to re-enter your selection of preferences each time you visit the website. However, the files cannot be assigned to a specific person. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of our website.

There are many different types of cookies. Our website uses the following types:

  • Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that only exist during the period in which you access the website or until you close the browser after accessing the website. These cookies help our website to remember what you have entered on the previous page and thus avoids the repeated entry of information.
  • Tracking cookies: These are used to provide meaningful evaluations of the use of the website. We use Google Analytics to track our website. If you want to know exactly how Google uses cookies, please read the constantly updated information here: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/cookies/

Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. We do not use cookies to collect personal information about you that identifies you. However, if you wish to restrict or block the cookies set by the website or delete cookies that have already been generated, you can do this via your browser settings.

Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

This website uses the “Google Analytics” service, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), to analyze website usage by users. Google Analytics uses “cookies” - text files that are stored on your end device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP anonymization is used on our website. The IP address of users within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area is shortened and thus anonymized. This eliminates any personal reference to your IP address. As part of the contract data agreement that the website operators have concluded with Google Inc., the latter uses the information collected to compile an analysis of website use and website activity and provides services associated with Internet use. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

Google states that it will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You have the option of preventing the storage of cookies on your device by making the appropriate settings in your browser. There is no guarantee that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not allow cookies.

You can also use a browser plugin to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to Google Inc. and used by Google Inc. However, activation does not prevent information from being transmitted to Frey Watertech. Further information on the deactivation option provided by Google and how to activate this option can be found at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
