General Information

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that the browser stores on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) when you visit a website. When you visit the IONOS website or use another service provided by IONOS, information is collected and stored through cookies. The advantage of cookies for you is that it can improve your browsing experience, because your habits and needs can be identified. Cookies help to provide, keep up to date, and constantly improve services.

There are several types of cookies that you can read about in more detail below.

Types of cookies used on the Airflow Containment Services IONOS website:

Cookies are classified according to origin, purpose, or expiration date. The cookies used by IONOS serve different purposes; their validity periods vary.

1. Origin

- First-party cookies: deposited and managed directly by IONOS. We use cookies of this kind, for example, to collect information about your user behaviour on our website for IONOS.

- Third-party cookies: deposited and managed by partners to perform statistical analysis about how users navigate the IONOS website or for marketing purposes. This analysis is performed completely anonymously.

Tags

Tags is an umbrella term for sections of code that can be integrated into websites and used for various functions, such as basic tracking (tracking pixels) or complex data transmissions (e.g. conversion tags).

Pixels (also called pixel tags, counting pixels, or 1x1 pixels)

This method refers to a graphic, which due to its small size at 1x1 pixel cannot be visually detected when visiting a website and is usually transparent. A pixel can only transmit very limited information, e.g. indicate a "1" (goods purchased) or "0" (goods not purchased).

Script (also known as JavaScript)

The script language is similar to a programming language in its ability to carry out more complex commands or instructions.

2. Purpose

Required cookies

Technically required cookies enable the website's basic functionality and usability. Among other things, these cookies ensure smooth navigation on the site. Cookies store, for instance, the language you have selected or the contents of your shopping cart. In addition, access to tools with restricted access is also possible. To this end, service providers are also used. However, the responsibility and control for the processing of data lies with us.

The legal basis for the use of these cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We require this information in order to provide you with these online services.

Analytic cookies

Cookies for analysis and advertising purposes allow statistics about website visitors to be collected, such as the number of visitors to different areas of the website, frequency of visits, or user behaviour and habits. The navigation, services and offers provided by IONOS can be improved. To this end, service providers are also used. However, the responsibility and control for the processing of data lies with us.

The legal basis for the use of these cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Marketing cookies

We store information on your user behaviour on our website and use this data for individual offers and our own direct marketing campaigns. For this purpose, we or the service provider create a profile of the services and websites you have accessed on the internet and assign them to appropriate categories. You will then be shown content or messages that are relevant to your profile. We also use cookies to make the use of our website as convenient as possible for you. These cookies should enable you to use our website in the way you are familiar with from previous visits. These cookies contain information that influences the appearance of the website and its usability. To this end, service providers are also used.

Third-party cookies

On our websites we have integrated the services of third-party providers. These services are rendered by the providers acting at their own discretion. When you visit our website, data is collected using cookies or similar technologies and transmitted to the respective third party. It is important to us that you know that we are not the only ones who process cookie data in this category. In particular, the enterprises that offer these functions and cookies process your data by reading and evaluating it in order to, among other things, display personalised content. This data may also be passed on to other third parties. To find out if and to what extent this is the case, please also refer to the privacy policies of the respective providers linked below. Please note that these companies are responsible for the use of your data beyond our processing and that this is done without our active participation.

We also use the cookies of these third-party providers in part for our own purposes, to display advertising on our site and on the internet that matches your interests. In addition, we use these cookies to optimise the design of our website. These campaigns can be evaluated, tracked and processed by us or our partners. When you visit another website, a cookie from your browser is detected and personalised content is displayed based on your browsing behavior. The basis for this is the creation of an interest profile. It is not generally possible to explicitly identify a person just from a visit to our website. If you are a customer with us, and especially if you have logged in, we can identify you as our customer and across devices.

The legal basis for the use of these cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We will only use your data for this category with your consent.
