Use of Google Analytics

On this website, we have integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to analyze internet advertising and marketing

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.

For the web analytics through Google Analytics we use the application “_gat. _anonymizeIp”. By means of this application the IP address of your Internet connection is abridged by Google and anonymized when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system. The definition of cookies is explained below. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by us and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as your IP address, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency your visits of our website. With each visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the user, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

You can prevent the data collection by Google by opting out in the cookie consent. The “Opt-out” function will prevent the connection to Google Analytics. Furthermore, no data will be transferred to Google before your consent in the cookie notice. Only accepting the cookies will activate the cookie. In case you are not sure which choice you made in the cookie notice or you want to redo your choice, you can show the cookie notice again in order to revise your choice. Please note that in case of previous consent of the cookies, data is still transferred until the opt-out function is clicked in the cookie notice. Redoing the choice in the cookie consent notice will not affect the lawfulness of the previous consent and the related procession of data transfer before its withdrawal. Refusing the data transfer to Google Analytics after a previous consent will be active after clicking Opt-Out in the cookie notice bar.

Following link may be used to show the cookie settings to redo your choice: CHANGE COOKIE SETTINGS

You may, as stated below in Managing Cookies, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies.

Please note that if you prevent to set cookies at all, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

For this purpose, you must download a browser add-on and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the user is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the user must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the user or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.

The website of Loes Kieboom contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to us, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by you is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a user to us is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the user.

Loes Kieboom offers users the possibility to leave individual comments on individual blog contributions on a blog, which is on the website. A blog is a web-based, publicly-accessible portal, through which one or more people called bloggers or web-bloggers may post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blogposts. Blogposts may usually be commented by third parties.

If you leave a comment on the blog published on this website, the comments made by you are also stored and published, as well as information on the date of the commentary and on the user’s name or pseudonym chosen by you. In addition, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the user is also logged. This storage of the IP address takes place for security reasons, and in case the user violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content through a given comment. The storage of these personal data is, therefore, in the own interest of us, so that we can exculpate in the event of an infringement. However, the email adress, while collected for these reasons will not be published on the website and not shared with public. This collected personal data will not be passed to third parties, unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the aim of the defense of us. The comments and the related data is kept as long as it is not deleted on the website.

How long do we keep your data?

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements).
