5. Cookies

RUBAG does not use its own cookies, but we reserve the right to use this technology in the future. By using Google Analytics (see Chapter 6), cookies are generated and evaluated by Google.

6. Tracking-Tools

Google Analytics

The provider of Google Analytics is Google Inc., an enterprise of the holding company Alphabet Inc, domiciled in the USA. Before the data is transmitted to the provider, the IP address will be abbreviated by activating IP anonymisation (“anonymizeIP”) on this website within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. In these cases, we provide contractual guarantees to ensure that Google Inc. maintains a sufficient level of data protection. According to Google Inc., under no circumstances will the IP address be associated with any other user-related data.

Google is certified under the Privacy-Shield-Act and provides a guarantee to comply with European data protection law.

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offering and to provide us with further services related to the use of this online offer and the internet usage. In this case, pseudonymous user profiles of the processed data can be created.

We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of the users is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there.

In addition, cookies already in use by Google may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs. In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to the interest-based advertising by Google. For this purpose, the data subject must call up the link to www.google.com/settings/ads and make the desired settings on each Internet browser used by the data subject. Further information and the actual data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

The personal data of users will be deleted or anonymized after 14 months.

7. Social Media Plugins

Our website does not use social media plugins. We reserve the right to use this technology in the future.

8. Links to our Social Media-Präsenzen

On our website, we have incorporated links to our social media profiles on the following social networks:

  • Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA,
  • YouTube LLC., 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, und

If you click or press the respective social network icons, you will be automatically redirected to our profile on the relevant network. In order to use the functions of the relevant network there, you must partially log in to your user account for the relevant network.

When you open a link to one of our social media profiles, a direct connection is established between your browser and the server of that social network. This gives the network the information that you have visited our website with your IP address and called up the link. If you access a link to a network while logged in to your account on the relevant network, the contents of our page may be linked to your profile in the network, which means that the network can link your visit to our website directly to your user account. If you want to prevent this, you should log out before clicking on the appropriate links. An assignment takes place in any case when you log in to the relevant network after pressing the link.

9. Analyse of Newsletter usage

For the dispatch of our newsletter we use e-mail marketing services of rapidmail GmbH, Augustinerplatz 2, D-79098 Freiburg im Breisgau. Our newsletter can therefore contain a so-called web beacon (counting pixel) or similar technical means. A web beacon is a 1x1 pixel, non-visible graphic that is related to the user ID of each newsletter subscriber.

The use of corresponding services enables the evaluation of whether the emails have been opened with our newsletter. In addition, the click behavior of the newsletter recipients can also be recorded and evaluated. We use this data for statistical purposes and to optimize the content and structure of the newsletter. This allows us to better align the information and offers in our newsletter with the individual interests of each recipient. The counting pixel is deleted when you delete the newsletter.

To stop tracking pixels in our newsletter, please set your email program so that no HTML is displayed in messages.

For this data processing, we rely on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO and thus to our legitimate interest.

10. Note about data transfers to the USA

For the sake of completeness, we would like to point out to users resident or domiciled in Switzerland or the European Union that there are surveillance measures in the USA by US authorities which generally store all personal data of all persons whose data comes from Switzerland or the USA European Union to the United States. This is done without differentiation, restriction or exemption on the basis of the objective pursued and without an objective criterion that allows US authorities' access to the data and its subsequent use to be restricted to very specific, strictly limited purposes, consistent with both the To justify access to these data as well as to interfere with their use. In addition, we point out that in the US there are no legal remedies available to data subjects in Switzerland and the European Union that allow them access to their data and to correct or delete them, or that they are not effective legal protection against general access rights of US authorities. We explicitly inform those concerned about this legal and factual situation in order to make an informed decision to consent to the use of his / her data.

Users resident in a Member State of the EU, we point out that the US, from the point of view of the European Union - dont have a sufficient level of data protection, inter alia because of the issues mentioned in this section.
