Cookies

Our website uses so-called „cookies“. Cookies are small text files and do no damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily on your device for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

In some cases, third-party cookies can also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have different functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or to display advertising.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or to provide certain functions you require (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR saved, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If a consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the storage of the relevant cookies takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 a GDPR); the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Insofar as cookies from third-party companies or for analysis purposes are used, we will inform you of this separately in the context of this data protection declaration and, if necessary, ask for consent.

SSL encoding

We use the latest encryption methods (e.g. SSL) to protect the security of your data during transmission via HTTPS.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service operated by Google Inc. (subsequently referred to as: Google). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer to help our website analyse how visitors use our site. The information generated by cookies about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, the activation of IP anonymization on these websites means that, beforehand, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with further services associated with website and Internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

The purposes of data processing are to evaluate the use of the website and to compile reports on website activities. Based on this website and Internet usage, other related services will then be provided. This processing is based on the website operator’s legitimate interest.

You can prevent the use of cookies by selecting appropriate browser settings. However, please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use all the functions available on this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by cookies and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: Browser add-on to disable Google Analytics.

In addition or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent Google Analytics tracking on our website by clicking this link. An opt-out cookie will then be installed on your device. In future, this will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data for this website and for this browser, as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

Use of Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps API to display geographic information visually. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes and uses data about the use of map functions by visitors. You can find more information about Google’s data processing in Google’s own data protection information, and you can change your personal data protection settings in the Data Protection Centre.

You can find detailed instructions about managing your own data in connection with Google products here.

Duration of data use and data storage

MAX Advisory deletes or blocks access to personal data as soon as the purpose of data use has been achieved or has ceased to exist. Any further data storage only occurs if we are legally obliged to do so. After the applicable statutory retention periods have expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted (or access is blocked) in accordance with the data protection regulations which apply.

If you have agreed to a longer period of storage, processing and use of your data, we will delete or block that data at the end of the respective period, or if you revoke your consent.

Changes to our data protection regulations

We reserve the right to adapt this data protection declaration so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the data protection declaration, e.g. when introducing new services. The new data protection declaration will then apply on your next visit.
