Gebrüder Weiss uses data obtained through cookies such as the type of browser used, operating system, activities, duration of visit, number of websites visited or time of visit.

User data is statistically analyzed for internal purposes only, in order to adapt our website to user requirements.

Once your visit to our website has ended, we can no longer access the data obtained through the cookies.

Make sure your computer settings reflect whether or not you wish to accept cookies. You can configure your browser so that a warning appears on the screen before a cookie is saved or it is impossible to install cookies.

DATA PROTECTION STATEMENT FROM GOOGLE  

Google Analytics uses so-called ”cookies”, text files which are saved on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will normally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address is shortened by Google in EU Member States or states that are parties to the European Economic Area.

Third party providers, including Google, use the saved cookies to display ads based on previous visits of the user on this website. Google is at most performing a service connected to the website use and the use of the Internet in general and delivers cookie-information to third parties, if these are prescribed by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. 

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. Google will use this information, on behalf of the operator of this website, for the purpose of analyzing your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet use for website operators.

Google Analytics will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also stop Google from capturing the data generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available.

Personal Data
By subscribing to an e-mail newsletter, you agree to pass on personal data to us through address forms for this specific purpose. Depending on the data supplied, Gebrüder Weiss may then contact you by telephone, letter and/or e-mail. In order to prevent the misuse of e-mail addresses, subscribers have to confirm their order for our newsletter in an automated process by e-mail (double opt-in). You can unsubscribe to our newsletters by clicking on the ”Unsubscribe” link included in every newsletter.

Gebrüder Weiss complies with the provisions of the Austrian Data Protection Act. Address information is not sold to third parties, leased or passed on to third parties for their own purposes. We never pass on data obtained online to external parties or other companies.

We carry out anonymized click-tracking for statistical purposes. It is not possible to link this back to individual recipients. Tracking personal responses allows us to optimize the content of our newsletter and adapt it to the changing habits and technical requirements of our users. As the data obtained is analyzed in anonymized form, personal data is never analyzed.
