You can carry out changes in your browser settings or via our consent manager. Should you reject functions or cookies, you may not be able to fully use our service.

Below, we wish to inform you of the various processing purposes and the services which are used in concrete terms. We will also describe the data processing which will take place.

b) Essential functions and cookies when using the website / apps
We use functions which are essential for the use of our websites / apps. These include so-called session cookies, which enable us to recognize you once again when you visit the site during an individual session. These session cookies contribute to safe use of our offering by, for instance, enabling you to use the online support functions. These functions can be viewed in the cookie consent tool. The legal basis of the processing is Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR, § 25 Abs. 2 Nr. 2 TDDDG.

c) Use of functions for the recording of use behavior (tracking) with right to object:

The use of tracking functions which primarily gather information by means of cookies enables us to analyze the use of our website and to improve it as a result. For this purpose, we can either use utilization statistics (anonymous results) or functions which enable us to recognize users once again when our website is accessed, which allows us to assign utilization processes to an internally allocated number (pseudonym). This allows us to record access to our website and to analyze it systematically.

Specifically, we use the following tracking functions:

(1) Creating usage statistics via etracker and session recording and heat mapping with Microsoft Clarity
Services provided by etracker GmbH from Hamburg, Germany (www.etracker.com/en) are used to analyze usage data on this website. Cookies are generally used to enable the statistical analysis of the use of this website by visitors and to display content or advertising based on specific usage. etracker cookies do not contain any information that enables the identification of a user. In addition, we can also use etracker variants without cookies, in which we carry out the data processing described here to a lesser extent.

The data created by doing so is processed by etracker on our behalf. The data is processed exclusively in Germany in accordance with our specifications and is thus subject to strict German and European data protection legislation and standards. etracker does not carry out data processing for its own purposes. With regard to compliance with EU data protection standards, etracker has been independently audited, certified and awarded the ePrivacyseal data privacy seal.

The data is processed based on the legal provisions of Art. 6 (1) Clause 1 (f) GDPR and Section 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG. Our interest within the meaning of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is the analysis of the use of our website and the compilation of statistics on website usage to ensure the regular optimization of our online platform and website so that the website can be made more interesting for you as a user. Since the privacy of our visitors is important to us, data that may allow a reference to an individual person, such as IP addresses, login credentials or device IDs, are pseudonymized or anonymized at the earliest possible stage. The data is not processed in any other way, combined with any other data by etracker or passed on to third parties.

To enhance the etracker usage statistics, we also use the session recording and heat mapping tool Microsoft Clarity. The following data is processed:

- Mouse movements
- Clicks

- Changes to the window size
- Selection functions
- Keystrokes
- Time spent
- Device type
- Browser

We also use a particular tool, which has been developed in-house, to enable us to analyze usage of our website and usage of our Online Support portal and to continually improve your customer experience and make it more interesting.

We do not process your name and IP address for these analyses.

(d) Functions with use of cookies following your consent
Below is an overview of the functions which we use on receiving your consent when you start using our website. These are functions which are used for advertising purposes and use cookies for this purpose.

Use of functions for advertising purposes

We use functions which deploy cookies for marketing purposes, for example in order to tailor advertising to the interests of a website visitor. They are also used to limit the frequency with which ads are displayed and to measure the effectiveness of the adverts. They record which websites and which items are clicked. This enables us to record information about user habits in order to provide interest-based advertising. The advertising networks used may share this information with third parties. In such cases, the advertising partner regularly sets the cookies directly.

The following functions are used for advertising purposes in particular:

(1) Use of Google Ads /Google Remarketing

We use the service of Google Ads to draw attention on external websites to our attractive products by using advertising tools (so-called Google advertising). These advertising tools are delivered by Google by means of so-called "ad servers." Ad server cookies that allow for the analysis of performance parameters are used in this process, e.g. ad impressions, clicks and conversations. This allows us to determine how successful individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns.

If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will save a cookie on your end device. These cookies are not intended to identify you personally. By means of the integration of the cookies, Google is informed that you have visited the corresponding page of our website or have clicked on one of our advertisements by including tracking tools. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can allocate the visit to your account. Even if you have not registered with Google or are not logged in, it is possible that the provider finds out and saves your IP address. With the company's conversion remarketing technologies, users who have already visited our website and online services and shown interest in our products will see further related advertisements on other websites in the Google Partners network. As a rule, the following analysis values are also saved:

Unique cookie ID
Number of ad impressions per placing (frequency)
Last impression (relevant to post-view conversions)
Opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wants to be contacted)

The cookies set by Google enable Google to recognize your Internet browser once again in the future. If a user visits certain pages of a website of an Ads customer and the cookie that has been saved on his or her end device has not expired, Google and the customer can detect that the user has clicked the advertisement and was forwarded to this site. A different cookie is assigned to each Ads customer, so that cookies cannot be traced via the websites of Ads customers. Your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server based on the marketing tools deployed. We ourselves do not independently gather personal data during the named advertising measures, rather we only provide Google with the possibility of obtaining the data. In this respect, we are jointly responsible with Google for the data gathering and transfer. Google is responsible under data protection laws for the subsequent data processing. We are only provided with statistical analysis by Google. This analysis allows us to identify which of the deployed advertising measures are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the deployment of advertising measures, and, in particular, we are not able to identify users based on this information. The legal basis for processing your data is Article 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR, § 25 Abs. 1 TDDDG.

Please note that Google may process data outside of the area of the European Union. Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has undertaken to comply with a standard which corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield. We have also agreed so-called standard contractual clauses with Google, the purpose of which is compliance with a reasonable level of data protection in the third country.

We use Google Ads with the Google Remarketing function in order to provide you with advertising which is tailored to your interests. This application enables displaying our advertising when you are visiting other websites after visiting our website. This is accomplished with the use of cookies that are saved in your browser via which your utilization behavior is captured and analyzed by Google when you visit various websites. This enables Google to determine your previous visit to our website. According to Google, the data collected within the scope of remarketing is not combined with your personal data that may have been saved by Google. In particular, according to Google, pseudonymization is used during remarketing. You can prevent the remarketing function by not consenting to its use and also by revoking your consent subsequently, as described in the paragraph below. The legal basis is your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR, § 25 Abs. 1 TDDDG.

Should you not wish for advertising which is tailored to your interests to be displayed after you have issued your consent or should you not wish for the remarketing function to be used, you can revoke your consent in our cookie settings or de-activate this in your browser cookies. You can also notify Google of this directly for the future via the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/. In addition, you can object to the Google remarketing via the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): http://optout.networkadvertising.org. Alternatively, you can de-activate the use of cookies by third-party providers by accessing the de-activation site of the Network Advertising Initiative (http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp) or administering the use of the device identifiers via the device settings (https://support.google.com/ads/answer/1660762#mob). Further information of the provider can be found at https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/2549063?hl=de/. Full information concerning data protection at Google can be found on their website at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html

(2) Use of Marketo

On our website, we continue to use the service of Marketo Inc ("Marketo"). Thereby cookies are used, which are saved on your end device and which enable an analysis of your use of the website.

For this purpose, profiles are created under a pseudonym. During this process, your IP address is anonymized immediately. The analysis of your use of the website serves the purpose of displaying use-related content and interest-based advertising, as well as the regular optimization of our online service and our website in order to make it more interesting for you as a user through interest-based content and advertising using the analysis which has been obtained. The information concerning your use of the website which is generated by the cookie is transferred on our behalf to a server of Marketo within the EU and saved there. In order to guarantee these functions, the service of Cloudfare is used, which controls various certificates for Marketo, for example the SSL certificate and distributes the inquiry load across various servers, in order to increase the security and performance of websites (load balancing).

In individual cases, the data may also be transferred to servers in the USA for advertising-related use and saved there. In these cases, Marketo has undertaken to comply with a standard which corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield. We have also agreed so-called standard contractual clauses with Marketo and Cloudfare, the purpose of which is compliance with a reasonable level of data protection in the third country.

The data processing takes place on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR, § 25 Abs. 1 TDDDG. You can revoke your consent to the data processing at any time (without the lawfulness of the processing which has taken place up until this time being affected) by de-selecting the functions in our cookie settings or clicking here.

(3) LinkedIn Insight-Tag
(1) Furthermore, the website uses the so-called LinkedIn Insight tag (or LinkedIn Pixel) of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company ("LinkedIn"). Through JavaScript tag integration, you as a user of our website can be shown interest-based advertisements ("ads") that are relevant to you when you visit the social network LinkedIn or other websites that also use the procedure and we receive statistics in relation to website visitors and demographics. Furthermore, we can evaluate your use of our LinkedIn advertising and interest in our services, also by means of a conversion tracking function, and also show you LinkedIn ads on other websites by means of retargeting. By doing so, we are pursuing our interest in improving the effectiveness of LinkedIn ads and making our website more interesting for you.

(2) By integrating the LinkedIn Insight tag, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the LinkedIn server, both when visiting the LinkedIn website and also when visiting websites that have integrated the LinkedIn Insight tag. LinkedIn and ourselves are jointly responsible for collecting your usage data when you visit our website and transmitting it to the provider, however LinkedIn is solely responsible for the relevant processing to carry out the objectives described, once the data has been transferred. We have no influence over the extent and type of use of the data by LinkedIn, we are therefore informing you according to the state of our knowledge: By means of the integration of the LinkedIn Insight tag, LinkedIn is informed that you have visited the website of our Internet presence or have clicked one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a LinkedIn service, LinkedIn can allocate the visit to your account. Even if you have not registered with LinkedIn or are not logged in, it is possible that the provider obtains knowledge of your IP address, time window and further identification characteristics and connects these to the actions attributable to you.

(3) It is possible to de-activate the LinkedIn Insight tag and other advertising objections in the settings for advertisements at https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/62931?trk=microsites-frontend_legal_privacy-policy&lang=en and additionally at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out. Further settings options and information can be found in the LinkedIn Privacy Center: https://privacy.linkedin.com/de-de?lr=1/.

(4) The legal basis of the processing of your data for the purposes referred to above is your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time. The easiest way to do this is to de-select the function in our cookie settings. LinkedIn also processes your personal data in the USA and has undertaken to comply with a standard which corresponds to the previous EU-US Privacy Shield. We have also agreed so-called standard contractual clauses with LinkedIn, the purpose of which is compliance with a reasonable level of data protection in the third country. By means of your consent, you are also agreeing not only to the setting of cookies and usage analysis, but also to the transfer of the information saved in the cookies to the USA and possible accessing of this data by the United States authorities. The legal basis for this is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a) and Article 49 Paragraph 1 Letter a) GDPR, § 25 Abs. 1 TDDDG.

(4) Integration of YouTube videos into our website

On individual websites, we have integrated YouTube videos which are saved at http://www.youtube.com and can be played back directly on our website. These videos are included in the "extended data protection mode," i.e. no data about you as a user will be transmitted to YouTube unless you play back the videos. The below data is only transmitted when you play back the videos. We cannot influence this data transmission.

By playing back the embedded videos, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page on our website, and it is furthermore possible that other data is transmitted to YouTube of which we have no knowledge. This will occur regardless of whether YouTube has provided a user account through which you have logged in or if no user account exists. If you are logged into YouTube, your data will be directly allocated to your account. If you do not want this allocation to your profile with YouTube, you must log out before you activate the button. YouTube saves your data as utilization profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertisements, market research and/or the needs-compliant design of its website. Such an analysis can be carried out (even for users that are not logged in) especially for providing needs-compliant advertisements and to inform other YouTube users about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. Such requests must be addressed to YouTube.

YouTube also processes your personal data in the USA and has undertaken to comply with a standard which corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield. Further information concerning the purpose and scope of the data gathering, the subsequent processing and the safeguarding of the data transfer to a third country can be found in the data protection policy of YouTube.

The legal basis for this is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a) and Article 49 Paragraph 1 Letter a) GDPR.

(5) Integration of Google Fonts after opening a YouTube video

We have not yet integrated the Google Fonts API into our websites, but as soon as you open a YouTube video that is embedded in our websites, Google Fonts is activated by YouTube / Google, word fonts are reloaded via Google servers and personal data is then transferred to Google LLC, including to the USA. The browser on your end device sends HTTP requests to the Google Fonts Web API. The Google Fonts Web API provides you with the Google Fonts cascading style sheets (CSS) and then the fonts that are indicated in the CCS. The following data is transferred to Google: Your IP address, the requested URL on the Google server and the HTTP headers, including the user agent which describes your browser and operating system versions, as well as the referral URL (in other words the website on which the Google font is to be displayed). No cookies are set.

In accordance with the information provided by Google Developers, no IP addresses are logged or stored on Google servers and these are not analyzed. The Google Fonts Web API records details of the HTTP requests (requested URL, user agent and referring URL).

9. SEW-EURODRIVE profiles on social networks
a) Facebook fan page
For the information services offered here, we use the technical platform and services of Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. We wish to inform you that use of our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/sew.antriebstechnik and its functions takes place under your own responsibility. This applies, in particular, to the use of interactive functions (e.g. Comment, Share, Rate).

When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook records, among other things, your IP address as well as additional information which is found on your PC in the form of cookies. This information is used to supply us as the provider of the Facebook pages with statistical information about the use of our Facebook page (so-called Facebook “insights”). Facebook provides further information via the following linkWhen you visit our Facebook page, Facebook records, among other things, your IP address as well as additional information which is found on your PC in the form of cookies. This information is used to supply us as the provider of the Facebook pages with statistical information about the use of our Facebook page (so-called Facebook “insights”). Facebook provides further information via the following link: http://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights.

The data collected in this context is processed by Facebook Ltd. and may be transmitted to countries outside the European Union, in particular the US. Your data may be transferred to the USA, whereby according to the information provided by Facebook, it complies with a reasonable level of data protection which corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield (www.privacyshield.gov). Facebook describes which information it receives and how it uses it in general terms in its Data Use Guidelines. They also provide information about how to contact Facebook and how to change your advertising settings. The data use policies are available via the following link: http://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/. The full Facebook Data Use Policy can be accessed here: https://de-de.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy. The following Facebook support pages provide details on how to manage and delete existing information about you: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy#

Facebook does not conclusively and clearly state, nor do we know, the extent to which Facebook uses data from your visit to the Facebook pages for its own purposes, the extent to which activities on the Facebook pages are allocated to individual users, for how long Facebook stores this data and whether data from a visit to the Facebook page is passed on to third parties. Data processing by Facebook may vary depending on whether you are registered with, and logged into, Facebook, or whether you access the site as a non-registered and/or not logged in user.

When you access a Facebook page, or make a contribution, the IP address allocated to your end device is transmitted to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymized (for “German” IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days. In addition, Facebook saves information about the end devices of its users (e.g. as part of the “Log-in notification” function); this may allow Facebook to allocate IP addresses to individual users. If you as a user are currently logged into Facebook, a cookie containing your Facebook ID is currently saved on your end device. This enables Facebook to track that you have visited this page and how you used it. This also applies to all other Facebook pages. With the help of Facebook buttons embedded in websites, Facebook can record your visits to these websites and allocate them to your Facebook profile. Based on this data, contents or advertising can be tailored to you.

If you want to avoid or restrict the data processing described above by Facebook, you should log out of Facebook or disable the “remain logged in” function, delete any cookies on your device and restart your browser. This deletes Facebook information, which can be used to identify you. You can thereby use our Facebook page without disclosing your Facebook ID. If you try to use the page's interactive functions (Like, Comment, Share, Messages, etc.), a Facebook login screen is displayed. After you log in, Facebook can again identify you as a specific user.

In addition to this, we as the provider of the information service only process the data from your use of our service which you provide and which requires interaction. For example, if you ask a question which we can only answer by e-mail, we will save your information in accordance with our General Data Protection Principles, as described in our Data Protection Information. The legal basis for processing your data on the fan page is Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR.

You can contact either us or Facebook to exercise your rights as the data subject. If a party is not responsible for providing a reply, or must receive information from the other party, we or Facebook will forward the query to the relevant other party. Please contact Facebook directly for any queries concerning the setting up of your profile, the processing of your data when using the website and insights (see above for the link).
