As a company under private law we are subject to the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation GDPR and the Data Protection Act of the Principality of Liechtenstein.

If you use the website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server (“Log-Files”). If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to guarantee stability and security:

In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard disk in association with the browser you are using and through which the body which sets the cookie transmits certain information. Cookies cannot run programmes or deliver viruses to your computer. They serve to make the Internet offering more user-friendly and effective.

Our website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and functionality of which are explained below:

  1. Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. This especially includes session cookies. These store a so-called session ID which assigns the various requests made by your browser during the joint session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our site. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.
  2. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may differ depending on the cookie in question. You can delete the cookies by going to your browser’s security settings at any time.
  3. Third-party cookies are not stored by GIVAG AG, but by third parties on the user’s computer. They can be read during a new website’s visit on the computer of the sales partner. In contrast to cookies used by GIVAG AG itself, these are service providers mostly collecting advertising-relevant information about users.

You can configure your browser settings according to your needs and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. If you do not wish the Flash cookies to be processed, you must install an appropriate add-on, e.g. “Better Privacy” for Mozilla Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/betterprivacy/) or the Adobe Flash killer cookie for Google Chrome.

  1. Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.

Your IP address will be shortened by Google within the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services regarding website activity and internet usage for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google.

To increase the loading speed of our websites, we use Google’s CDN (Content Delivery Network) to load this library. There’s a good chance that you’ve already downloaded jQuery by visiting another Google CDN website. If so, your browser can use the cached copy. If your browser does not cache your copy or for any other reason downloads the file from the Google CDN, your IP address will be sent to Google while connecting to the Google server. If you are also logged in to Google with an existing user account while visiting our websites, Google may also be able to assign the visit of our websites to your user behavior. In addition, Google may send additional cookies to your browser. We have no influence on this procedure and also do not receive any information from Google about the transmitted content. For details, see: https://developers.google.com/speed/libraries/#jquery.

BootstrapCDN

On our site, Java Script Code is recharged by NetDNA, LLC., 3575, Cahuenga Blvd Suite 630, Los Angeles, CA 90068, USA (hereafter: Bootstrap CDN). If you have enabled JavaScript in your browser and have not installed a Java Script Blocker, your browser may change your personal information, e.g. submit your IP address to Bootstrap CDN. We do not know what data Bootstrap CDN associates with the data received and for what purposes Bootstrap CDN uses that data.

To use the functions of Bootstrap CDN it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Bootstrap CDN server and stored there. We have no influence on this data transfer.

More information on handling user data can be found in Bootstrap CDN’s privacy policy: https://www.bootstrapcdn.com/privacy-policy/ .
