Cookie Policy
The Media Owner makes use of 'cookies' on its website. Cookies are text files that are stored on the user's device when visiting the website.

The Media Owner can then evaluate user behaviour ('tracking'), recognise the user as a 'returning visitor' ('unique client') or control advertising ('remarketing').
If you wish to prevent the use of cookies, you can do so by adjusting the settings in your internet browser preferences, or you can always delete cookies that are already on your computer. The procedure for doing this differs depending on the browser. Please refer to your browser manual (under ‘Help’ in the browser menu).
By using this website, you express your consent to the use of cookies by the Media Owner in the manner described above.

Remarketing or 'Similar Audience' Feature of Google Inc.
The Media Owner uses the remarketing or 'Similar Audience' feature of Google Inc. ('Google') on this website. Using this feature, personalised, interest-based advertising will appear to visitors of the website of the provider when they visit other websites in the Google display network. Google uses cookies to analyse website usage, forming the basis for generating interest-based advertising. To do this, Google stores a small file containing a numerical sequence in the browsers of visitors to the web site. Visits to the website as well as anonymous data about the use of the website are collected through this number. The personal data of visitors to the website is not stored. If you subsequently visit another website on the Google Display Network, you will see ads that are highly likely to include previously viewed product and information domains. You can permanently disable Google's use of cookies by visiting the following link and downloading & installing the plug-in provided there: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Alternatively, you can disable third-party cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative deactivation page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and selecting the opt-out choices there.

Social media plug-ins are integrated into the website to promote and share articles on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. A two-staged process is used for this. Data to third parties will not be transferred until users click on one of the icons displayed in the social media bar. The Media Owner has no influence over or access to the cookies set by Facebook, Twitter etc.

Use of Facebook Social Plugins
This website uses social plugins ('plugins') from the social network facebook.com which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ('Facebook'). The plugins are identified by a Facebook logo or the 'Share' button. Should the user make use of these services, the platform will establish a direct connection to Facebook's server. The content of the plugin will be relayed by Facebook directly to the platform and integrated into the website. Through the integration of the plugin, Facebook is informed that the user has accessed the platform. If the user is logged on to Facebook, Facebook can allocate the visit to the user's Facebook account. If the user interacts with the plugin, e.g. by clicking the 'Like' button or by posting a comment, the corresponding information will be relayed directly to Facebook and stored. For information regarding the purpose and extent of data capture and the further processing and use of data by Facebook, as well as rights in this respect and settings options for the protection of personal privacy, the user can refer to Facebook's privacy policy: Facebook data protection information. See also 'Social Media Cookies' under the previous section 'Cookie Policy', above.
Use of Twitter Social Plugins
This website uses social plugins ('plugins') from the social network twitter.com, provided by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom Street, Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. The plugins are marked with a Twitter logo or the 'Share' button.
Should the user be logged-in to a Twitter account, the use of the 'Retweet' function will link the websites visited by the user to the user's Twitter account, thereby making them known to third parties. Further information can be found at http://twitter.com/account/settings. By using this website, the user consents to the processing of data collected about him or her by Twitter in the manner described above and for the previously stated purposes.
Use of Google Maps
The Media Owner's services make use of Google Maps to create maps and generate directions. Google Maps is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If the user should make use of this platform, a direct connection with Google's servers will be established, thereby providing Google with device-specific data, location data, IP address (log files) and cookie information. By using the platform, the user consents to the transmission, collection, processing and use of the automatically collected data by Google.
Storage
If an existing internet connection is in use, the data listed above is transmitted to the Media Owner and processed by the Media Owner for the purpose of providing the services and for security and storage purposes (see also Cookie Policy, above).

Rights of the User
You have a right to information regarding your personal data that we have stored, its origin and recipients and the purpose for which it is processed, as well as a right to the correction, transmission, opposition, restriction of processing as well as the right to the blocking or deletion of incorrect or unlawfully processed data.
If you believe that the processing of your personal data by us breaches the applicable data protection law or that your rights to data protection have been infringed upon in another way, you have the opportunity to complain to the regulatory authority. In Austria, the Data Protection Authority is responsible for such complaints (for more information on the General Data Protection Regulation, see: EU Regulation 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC ).

Consequences of Cancellation
The revocation of consent makes any further use of such data inadmissible. For the avoidance of doubt, however, the Media Owner points out to the user that in this case the Media Owner remains entitled to have the data at its disposal, insofar as the data is still required for the fulfilment of contractual obligations.
