Scope of this Policy
This privacy policy informs users about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the data controller, Michael Schladt WARCO Bodenbeläge, Andergasse 17, 67434 Neustadt an der Weinstraße, Germany, Telephone: +49 6321 91 52 990, Fax: +49 6321 91 52 999,
E-mail: info@warco.eu on this website (hereinafter referred to as the “Website”).
The legal basis for data protection is provided by the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), and applicable national legislation.
Access Data / Server Log Files
The provider (or their web hosting provider) collects data on every access to the Website (so-called server log files). These access data include:
Name of the accessed webpage, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful retrieval, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address, and the requesting provider.
This data is used solely for statistical analysis for the purpose of operation, security and optimisation of the Website. However, the provider reserves the right to retrospectively review the log data if there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete indications.
Handling of Personal Data
Personal data refers to information that makes it possible to identify an individual, such as names, email addresses, or telephone numbers. It also includes data regarding preferences, hobbies, memberships, or websites visited by an individual.
Personal data is only collected, used and shared by the provider if this is permitted by law or if users give their consent to the data collection.
Contacting Us
When contacting the provider (e.g. via contact form or email), the user's details are stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case follow-up questions arise.
Integration of Third-Party Services and Content
This website may include third-party content such as YouTube videos, Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites. This always requires that the providers of such content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) perceive the users’ IP address, as they would not be able to send the content to the user's browser without it. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of such content. We make every effort to use only content from providers who use the IP address solely for delivering the content. However, we have no control over whether third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. As far as we are aware, we inform users accordingly.
Cookies
Cookies are small files that make it possible to store specific information related to the device on which the user accesses the website (PC, smartphone, etc.). They serve both the usability of websites (e.g. storing login data) and the collection of statistical data on website usage to help improve the Website. Users can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers offer an option to limit or completely prevent the storage of cookies. However, please note that the usability and user experience of the website may be limited without cookies.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google uses cookies. 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.
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website usage and internet usage. Pseudonymous usage profiles of users can be created from the processed data.
We use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled. This means your IP address is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The IP address transmitted by your browser is not merged with other Google data.
You can prevent cookies from being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. You can also prevent Google from collecting data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: tools.google.com.
Further information on the use of data by Google for advertising purposes, as well as settings and opt-out options, can be found on Google's websites: google.com ("How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps"), google.com ("Use of data for advertising purposes"), google.com ("Manage the information Google uses to show you ads") and google.com ("Choose the types of ads Google shows you").
Google Optimize
We use "Google Optimize" on our website, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Google Optimize is a part of Google Analytics and helps us test the attractiveness and functionality of our website. Elements, content or features of the website may be shown to a percentage of visitors and changes in user behaviour statistically evaluated (A/B testing). Google Optimize uses cookies that store information on your device and allow analysis of your usage. The data is typically transferred to and stored on a server in Ireland, though transfers to the USA may occur. IP anonymisation is used where activated, truncating the IP address within the EU or EEA before transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted and truncated in the USA. Usage profiles may be created from the data.
We use Google Optimize with IP anonymisation activated. This ensures that your IP address is processed only in truncated form and cannot be linked to an individual.
We use Google Optimize to analyse and improve our website and services. This constitutes our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) f) UK GDPR / EU GDPR.
You can prevent the storage of these cookies by adjusting your browser settings. You can also prevent Google from processing data generated by the cookie about your behaviour (including your IP address) by installing this browser plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
We have signed a data processing agreement with Google to ensure they only process data on our instructions and in compliance with data protection laws.
If Google transfers data to the USA, the parent company Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA is certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. This means Google adheres to European data protection standards. For details, visit: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
