Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored and read in your end-device. Software on your device -e.g. web browser- can store cookies and send them back when you visit the website a second time. Cookies may contain data that enables the recognition of the device being used. However, in some cases cookies only contain information on certain settings that do not allow us to re-identify you. Some cookies may be required to enable the user guidance, security and execution of the site. If a website is developed, there exist different options to gain access to information you store on your device or we store some information to understand your interests more comprehensively. Some are implemented via cookies and others via similar technologies which process your personal data. We also use similar technologies which are very similar to cookies but are achieved by other means (for example Local Shared Objects, fingerprinting techniques, etc).

What are session and persistent cookies?
A distinction is made among session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored even after your visit has expired. We inform you about the duration of the storage of each cookie or similar technology in the tables below.

What are first-party and third-party cookies?
If the cookie is placed directly by the website the user is visiting, we’re talking about a first-party cookie. Conversely if a domain other than the one the user is visiting places the cookie, we’re talking about a third-party cookie. A third-party cookie is usually set when an element from another website is incorporated and the browser fetches the element from other sites. It may include for example images, advertisements or cookies.

What are the different categories of cookies on this website?
Cookies and other technologies can serve different purposes of processing. Our website uses different categories of cookies and similar technologies as detailed below. We make sure to inform you about how we use each of the technologies on our website.

What is the legal basis for processing cookies?
When processing “strictly necessary cookies and similar technologies” we will do it in accordance with our legitimate purposes explained below in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.

With regards to any other category of cookies or similar technologies, we process your personal data based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR. We will, in those cases, obtain your previous consent and record it through our cookie banner.

Strictly necessary cookies and similar technologies
Strictly necessary cookies are essential to provide you with the services that you request within our website. Those include technical resources to ensure that the page is loaded quickly and that you are able to view our page on different devices. We may also use strictly necessary cookies to comply with our obligations such as obtaining and recording your consent. Those cookies store different categories of personal data which depend on the scope, purpose and retention period of the cookie or similar technology. The information may contain your shortened IP address, information about your behaviour on our website, referral information which explains how you accessed our website or other details such as information relating to the device you use.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data regarding the use of cookies necessary for technical reasons is our legitimate interest to provide you with the information, products and services in our website (Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR). If a cookie setting is rather important than strictly necessary, we will obtain your consent. We do not use strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies for analytical, tracking or advertisement purposes.

Functional Cookies and similar technologies
We use functional cookies to provide you with extended functionalities and to facilitate your navigation. Certain settings are saved as your preferences so that you do not have to enter them again. For example, we save your language setting for this purpose. The processing of your personal data in this context is carried out based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.

Analytical Cookies and similar technologies
We use analytical cookies to create statistics and to update the design of our website. For this purpose, the providers mentioned below create and store user profiles and permanent cookies on your end device. In addition, it is possible that we access recognition features for your browser or terminal device (e.g. a browser fingerprint or your unabridged IP address. This would allow us to recognise returning visitors and count them as such. In addition, we use the following functions in the context of visitor measurement.
We enrich the pseudonymous data with additional data provided by third parties. We can record demographic characteristics of our visitors by using this method, such as age, gender and place of residence.

In the case of Google Analytics cookies, we have made sure that the last digits of your IP address are masked and deleted before transferring it to Google. Google will therefore only receive pseudonymous IP addresses to perform the analytic functionalities.

The processing of your personal data in this context is carried out based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.

Third-party tracking technologies for advertising purposes
We use tracking technologies to display targeted advertising on other websites based on your visit to our websites and to help us determine how effective our advertising efforts have been.

What is tracking?
When you visit our websites, it is possible that the third-party providers listed below may call up recognition features for your browser or end device (e.g. a browser fingerprint), evaluate your IP address, save or review recognition features on your end device (e.g. cookies) or gain access to individual tracking pixels. Your individual features can be used by third parties to recognize your end device on other Internet sites. We may request the relevant third-party providers to display advertisements based on the pages visited on our website.

What does cross-device tracking mean?
If you log in to the third-party provider with your own user data, the recognition features of different browsers and end devices can be linked with each other. For example, if the third-party provider has created a separate feature for each of the laptops, desktop PCs, smartphones or tablets you use, these individual features can be assigned to each other as soon as you use a third-party service with your log-in data. This allows the third party to target our advertising campaigns across multiple devices.

The processing is carried out on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.
Our website does not aim to target children or minors as defined under applicable local laws. The processing of children’s personal data is not necessary to provide you with our services. Under very limited circumstances MAM offers services, such as the baby development calendar or the MAM Baby club, where we request the guardian or parent to provide informed consent before processing any children’s data.

The GDPR grants certain rights to website users regarding the processing of their personal data:

1. Right of Access
You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed, and, where that is the case, access to the personal data and the information specified in Art. 15 GDPR.

2. Right to rectification and erasure
You have the right to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and, if necessary, the right to have incomplete personal data completed in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR.

You also have the right to obtain the erasure of the personal data concerning you without undue delay, if one of the reasons listed in Art. 17 GDPR applies, e.g. if the data is no longer necessary for the intended purpose.

3. Right to restriction of processing
If one of the conditions set forth in Art. 18 GDPR applies, you shall have the right to restrict the processing of your data to mere storage, e.g. if you revoke consent to the processing, for the duration of a possible examination of the facts of corresponding case.

4. Right to data portability
In certain situations, listed in Art. 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, common and machine-readable format or demand a transmission of the data to another third party.

5. Right to object
If the data is processed pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR (data processing for the purposes of the legitimate interests of the data controller), you have the right to object to the processing at any time for reasons pertaining to your particular situation. We will then no longer process your personal data, unless there are demonstrably compelling legitimate grounds for processing it, which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.

6. Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling
As a website user you have the right not to be subject to a decision which has a legal effect on you or significantly affects you and which is based solely on an automated processing of your personal data. The legal basis is Art. 22 GDPR. Automated decision-making may be performed if it is necessary for entering into a contract or for the performance of a contract, a national derogation exists, or explicit consent is given. If any of the exceptions apply, we guarantee appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms.
