Web Tracking

 

Google Analytics

Provided you have consented, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Ltd. (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) and Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) (“Google”). For this purpose, a cookie is installed on your device. This cookie will collect data such as browser and device information, your IP address, visited websites, and date and time of server request for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website provider. The cookie also collects information about the interactions that users had with ads (clicking a text ad or viewing a video ad).

Henkel will use the data collected to optimize campaigns, retarget and personalize ads. For this purpose, the cookies stored on your device by Google allow you to be retargeted on the one hand (e.g. within the scope of “Google Ads”) on Google's websites and on the other hand (e.g. within the scope of “Google Campaign Manager 360”) on our websites and – depending on your interests – when you visit websites of other partners. For this purpose, your browser is identified during advertising delivery and assigned to a target group. This information is used to display relevant and interesting ads to you.

Google (as a controller) may use your data for any own purposes as for profiling and linking your data to other data collected about you (e.g. through your Google Account).

The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Under European law, the US does not guarantee an adequate level of data protection. State authorities may have access to this data due to mass surveillance laws. Once your personal data has been disclosed, it will not enjoy the same level of protection and you may not be able to exercise your rights in relation to the data.

We have activated the IP anonymization, this means Google will truncate/anonymize the last octet of the IP address for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to and shortened by Google servers in the US.

By allowing cookies on the Henkel-website you agree to the use of the above-mentioned data and the previously described processing by Google.

For this third country data transfer, an adequate level of data protection is ensured by standard contractual clauses, Art. 46 GDPR, pending an adequacy decision by the European Commission (Art. 45 GDPR).

To increase the protection afforded to your data when you visit our web pages, these social media services are implemented as “2-click buttons.” This form of integration ensures that, when accessing a page from within our website containing such tools, you are not automatically connected to the providers’ servers. Only if you activate the social media services and thereby permit for data transmission, the browser will create a direct link to the providers’ servers. The content of the various tools is then transmitted by the provider concerned directly to your browser and then displayed on your screen.

The social media tool tells the provider your previously visited websites, your IP address, browser information, and the date and time of the server request. On making use of any of the social media functions (e.g. clicking the “Share” button, leaving a comment), this information too will be transmitted by the browser directly to the provider for retention. Those providers may use your data for any own purposes as for analytics, marketing, profiling and linking your data to other data collected about you (such as through your user account with the respective provider) even if you are not logged in to your social media account.

The providers process the data partly also in the United States. Under European law, the US does not guarantee an adequate level of data protection. State authorities may have access to this data due to mass surveillance laws. Once your personal data has been disclosed, it will not enjoy the same level of protection and you may not be able to exercise your rights in relation to the data.

By allowing cookies on the Henkel-website you agree to the use of the above-mentioned data and the previously described processing by the providers.
