Data Access

Based on its legitimate interest, Image Engineering GmbH &amp Co. KG (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) collects data when a user accesses the website. This data is stored on the website server as “server log files.” The following data is logged:

The server log files are stored for a maximum of 30 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g., to clarify cases of abuse. The data will only be excluded from deletion in the event of a pending security case where the data is serving as evidence. Once the incident is clarified, it will be deleted from the server.

This website uses cookies for pseudonym range measurements that are transmitted either from our server or the third-party server to the user’s browser. Cookies are small files that are stored on your device, which your browser can access. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website. If you do not wish to save range-measuring cookies on your device, you may object to the use of these files here:

Google Analytics

For legitimate purposes of the optimization and analysis of our online offerings (within Art. 6 para. 1 lit f DSGVO), we use the “Google Analytics” service that is offered by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google Analytics uses “cookies” – text files that are stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the US and stored there.

Anonymous IP addresses are used on this website. The user IP address will be reduced within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area as well as in other states that have signed the agreement. This reduction eliminates the personal reference of your IP address. Only in rare individual cases is the IP address initially transferred unabridged to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. The user’s IP address provided by the browser will not be combined with other data stored by Google.

We have established a “Contract Data Agreement” with Google Inc. As part of the agreement, this information that is collected will be used for the evaluation of website activity and will provide services associated with Internet use.

The data collected by Google on our behalf will be used to evaluate the use of our online offerings by individual users. For example, it is used to generate activity reports on the website so we can improve our online functionality.

You have the option to prevent the storage of cookies on your device by making the appropriate settings in your browser. There is no guarantee that you will be able to access all features of this website without restriction if your browser does not allow cookies.

Furthermore, you can use a browser plugin to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to Google Inc. or used by Google Inc. The following link will lead you to the corresponding plugin:
