Cookies

Our website uses so-called cookies (or as we call them "spices"), provided you have given your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). These are small text files temporarily stored on your device by your browser and saved by it. They cause no harm and make the website usage more user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit. If you do not wish this, you can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow it only on a case-by-case basis.

Google Analytics

Our website uses, based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics (Google LLC, Mountain View, California, United States).

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies," text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. We use Google Analytics exclusively with the code "gat._anonymizeIp()" to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide further services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings; however, we note that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website fully.

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

You can also prevent data collection by Google Analytics by clicking the following link and following the instructions to set an opt-out cookie that prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Cookiebot

Our website uses, based on legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), a web service from Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen (hereinafter: cookiebot.com) to ensure the full functionality of our website. In this context, your browser may transmit personal data to cookiebot.com. The data will be deleted once the purpose of its collection has been fulfilled. Further information on the handling of transmitted data can be found in the privacy policy of cookiebot.com: https://www.cookiebot.com/de/privacy-policy/.

You can view and change your consent level at any time.

Social Buttons

Our website features a social button in the form of a link to Instagram or other social media or review platforms. When you visit our page, no data is yet transmitted to the social media services. Profiling by third parties is thus excluded. However, we do not want to deny visitors who would like to use social buttons this opportunity. We therefore offer the option to use social buttons at various points on our website. This allows you to reach our social media presence or share content, e.g., posts, with others. Please note that clicking the social button may result in certain data being transmitted to the social media service (e.g., the Currymeister website accessed where the social button is located; date and time of the click on the social button; information about the browser and operating system used; your current IP address).

By clicking the button, you give your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) to the data processing by the social media service. If you are logged into the social media service at the time of clicking the social button, it may also be able to determine your username and possibly your real name from the data mentioned above. This data may be processed by the social media service in countries outside the European Union. We have no influence on the scope, nature, and purpose of data processing by the social media service. Please note that the social media service is capable of creating pseudonymized and even individualized user profiles with the data mentioned above.

Further information on data protection can be found regarding Instagram here.
