Relevant Area: Visiting the Website
When you access the etisia.com website, so-called access data is collected, including the IP address, and stored in a log file. The log file also stores the name of the website you requested, the retrieved file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful retrieval, browser type and version, operating system, the so-called referrer URL (previously visited page), as well as the provider making the request. However, based on this data, you cannot be identified.
When you visit our website, cookies are also stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, or personal computer).
To provide users with a seamless connection and comfortable use of our website, we collect log file data, including the IP address. The log file is used for analysis to evaluate system security and stability, as well as for administrative purposes. Cookies also help us make our services and website more user-friendly by helping us determine whether you have, for example, already visited a page on our website. Using the cookie identifier, we also receive information about user behavior on our website and search queries that lead you to our site, so we can tailor our offerings to users' interests for future visits.
Log files, including the IP address, serve only to optimize the technology and configuration of our website and the security of our systems (e.g., in the context of a system intrusion or security incident). When accessing our website, it is not possible to obtain any personal data from the log files, including the IP address. Personal reference only occurs when you log into your customer user account at the same time. In this case, we can link your IP address directly to you. Using the cookie identifier, we find out, for example, whether and to what extent you have already visited our websites, whether you have already registered with us under a certain identification mark, and when you returned to this identification mark.
Data retention period: Log files, including IP addresses, are automatically deleted two (2) months after collection. Before that, the IP address is anonymized and stored only for administrative (technical) purposes.
Hosting: Our website and web application are hosted by external service providers: the company DigitalOcean. More information at: https://www.digitalocean.com/security/.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation.
Planned or required provision of data: The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, without the IP address or cookie identifier, the service and functionality of our website are not guaranteed, and individual applications and services may not be available or may be limited.
Relevant Area: Website Visit, Web Analytics
Personal Data: IP address, cookie identifier
Description and purpose of data processing: We use so-called tracking tools and web analytics tools on our website. This involves collecting access data to our website and evaluating the behavior of our visitors to optimize our offerings.
With these tools, it is possible to investigate where visitors come from, how they accessed our website, which areas of the website are more frequently visited, and how often and for how long certain subpages and categories are viewed. We can also determine which search terms and websites the user entered and assess how many users visit our pages overall and which information or offers are most in demand. The goal is to use this acquired knowledge to help design our offerings and website in a user-friendly way.
Interest in data processing: By statistically analyzing user profiles, we can derive information about the operation and success of our website, such as how often information pages for certain product groups are accessed and how many visitors clicked on a particular offer. Using tracking tools, we can better target our offers to our customers, visitors, and interested parties.
Recipient and data processor: The following providers of tracking tools and web analytics tools process access data on our behalf for user analysis and statistical processing:
- Google Analytics: Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA. More information at google.com/policies/
- Optimizely: Optimizely, Inc., 631 Howard Street, Suite 100, San Francisco, California 94105, USA. More information at https://www.optimizely.com/privacy/

Relevant Area: Website Visit, Advertising
Personal Data: IP address, cookie identifier, order identifier.
Description and purpose of data processing: The website uses so-called advertising tracking tools. With the help of these advertising tracking tools, we can display or arrange the display of individual advertisements on our websites, which are selected (automatically) based on visitor preferences. Technically, advertising tracking is usually carried out via advertising identification tags through which cookies, among others, are used by advertising network providers to create user profiles and display ads based on cookie profiles when the website is accessed. By using tracking pixels on various websites, advertising partners store cookies on the user's end device the first time the user visits the advertising partner's website. Through such remarketing offers, the user can be "followed" across the internet and shown particularly attractive offers (in principle). In many cases, tracking is carried out via so-called browser fingerprints, which use information such as individual screen resolution settings, color depth, time zone, and installed plugins to recognize users and user groups.
Interest in data processing: With the help of advertising tracking tools, we can better target our offers to our customers, visitors, and interested parties. Advertising tracking tools and related advertising campaigns also allow us or third parties to generate profit through advertisements. Additionally, user behavior helps us determine which areas of our websites are potentially particularly interesting to visitors so that we can selectively display advertisements. Ads are displayed according to the thematic orientation of the website and related user search behavior. As a result, advertising tracking tools can determine where visitors come from and which areas of the website were visited, how often, and for how long subpages and categories were viewed. Common advertising methods include retargeting and remarketing campaigns, in which users can be re-addressed at other times and places on the internet, for example, by advertising potentially interesting products from websites the user previously visited.
