In order to make your visit to the grenke websites and the myGRENKE portal more pleasant and to enable the use of certain functions, grenke uses so-called cookies on various sites. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of the cookies grenke uses are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after closing your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and allow grenke or grenke's affiliates to recognise your browser on your next visit (so-called permanent cookies). Generally, the collected data will be deleted within sixty (60) days, unless we need it - in exceptional cases - for a longer period for the purposes described above. In such a case, we will delete this data promptly after the purpose ceases to be relevant.
Cookies cannot access other files on your computer or identify your email address.
Like most websites you visit, grenke websites and the myGRENKE portal also use cookies to improve the user experience on both one-time and repeated website visits. This allows you to quickly and easily switch between sites, save your configurations, and use third-party tools (such as YouTube videos) on the website.
Cookies are either placed on the grenke website (first party cookies) or on other websites whose content appears on the grenke website (third-party cookies). These third-party providers (such as Facebook) may set cookies if you are logged in to their pages and visit the grenke website. grenke has no influence on the cookie settings of these websites. Please visit the third-party websites for more information on their use of cookies.

5. Use of Facebook pixel

On our website we use the so-called “Facebook pixel” from “Facebook” (Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2 Ireland). With the Facebook pixel we can classify the visitors of our website into certain target groups in order to be able to show you advertisements ("Ads") on Facebook. The recorded data (e.g. IP addresses, information about the web browser, the location of the website, buttons clicked, possibly pixel IDs and other features) cannot be viewed by us, but can only be used in the context of displaying certain advertisements. When the Facebook pixel code is used, cookies are also set.

In order to exchange the respective data, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Facebook server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data that is collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: By integrating the Facebook Pixel, Facebook receives the information that you are visiting the corresponding site of our website and that you have accessed or clicked on one of our advertisements.

This enables us to evaluate the display of advertisements and your interaction with these advertisements.

7. Use of Linkedin Insights and Conversion Tracking

We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag of the provider LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, California 94043, USA for this website. The LinkedIn Insight Tag creates a LinkedIn "browser cookie" which collects the following data:
• IP address,
• time stamp,
• page activities,
• demographic data from LinkedIn, if the user is an active LinkedIn member.
This technology enables us to generate reports on the performance of our advertisements and information on website interaction. For this purpose, the LinkedIn Insight Tag is integrated on this website, which establishes a connection to the LinkedIn server if you visit this website and are logged into your LinkedIn account at the same time.
b) Purposes of the processing of data

8. Integration of Google Maps:
grenke integrates the maps of the service "Google Maps" provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The data processed is not limited to the IP addresses and location data of users, which, however, are not collected without their consent (usually performed as part of the settings of their mobile devices). The data could also be processed in the USA. Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated
9. Integration of YouTube videos:
a) Processed data
We have embedded YouTube videos on our website, which are hosted by YouTube but can be played directly from our website. These are all embedded in "extended data protection mode", i.e. according to YouTube's own statement, the playback of a video is not used for the personalisation of advertising to the user. However, we have no influence on this. YouTube is a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").
In order to increase the protection of your access data when visiting our website, the videos are initially deactivated and integrated into the page using a so-called "2-click solution". This integration ensures that when you call up a sub-page of our website that contains such videos, no connection is established with the YouTube servers. Only when you activate the videos does your browser establish a direct connection to the YouTube servers.
By activating the video, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, basic data such as IP address and time stamp are transmitted. This takes place regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to YouTube, your access data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want your access data to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your access data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or designing their website to meet your needs. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and to exercise this right you must contact YouTube or Google, e.g. at https://about.google/contact-google/.
b) Purposes of the processing of access data
The data is processed and transmitted for the purpose of integrating and displaying YouTube videos.
c) Legal basis
The integration of your access date only takes place after you have given your consent.
d) Duration of storage and control options
We store your access data as long as we need it for the respective purpose, or as long as you have not objected to the storage of your access data or have revoked your consent. If you do not want data to be processed by YouTube, you can refuse or revoke your consent in this respect.
