V.USE OF COOKIES
Like many other websites, the iWearBritain websites uses cookies. ‘Cookies’ are small pieces of information sent by an organisation to your computer and stored on your hard drive to allow that website to recognise you when you visit. They collect statistical data about your browsing actions and patterns and do not identify you as an individual. For example, we use cookies to store your country preference. This helps us to improve our website and deliver a better more personalised service. It is possible to switch off cookies by setting your browser preferences. For more information on how to switch off cookies on your computer, visit your website browser settings. Turning cookies off may result in a loss of functionality when using our website.
VI.DEPLOYMENT OF ANALYTICS AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
We use the analytics and tracking technologies, respectively technologies offered by third-party-provider, described below; we do so on the basis of Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. f) of the GDPR for the following purposes (among others):
To perform data analyses;
To collect statistics on the use of our Website and to evaluate them so as to optimize our offering;
To enhance and manage our offering on an ongoing basis;
To optimize our advertising measures and quantify their success; and
To provide you with advertising, specifically including personalized marketing information.
These are legitimate interests within the meaning of the aforementioned statutory provision.
GOOGLE ANALYTICS
In order to configure our web pages as needed and to optimize them on an ongoing basis, we use Google Analytics, an advertising analysis service offered by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”)). This service generates pseudonymized usage profiles and uses Cookies (see Section V of the present Privacy Statement). The information about your use of our Website generated by the relevant Cookie (e.g. your IP address, browser type/version, operating system used, referring URL, time of the server request) is transferred to a Google server located in the United States and stored there. Google has been certified under the Privacy Shield Framework, meaning that an adequate level of data protection is in place in accordance with the corresponding Implementing Decision of the European Commission. The certificate is available online for inspection under https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI. However, your IP address will first be shortened on our Website by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other states signatory to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the Unites States and shortened there.
Google will use this information on our behalf in order to analyze your usage of our Website, to compile reports on Website activities for us, and to provide us with other services relating to Website and internet usage. In certain cases, this information may also be transferred to third parties, insofar as this is mandated by the law or insofar as third parties have been commissioned with processing the data. Google will not merge your IP address with other data held by Google.
You can block the storage of the relevant Cookie in your browser by configuring your browser settings accordingly. Please be advised, however, that this may prevent you from using all the functions of our Website to their full extent.
In addition, you can prevent Google from recording the data generated by the Cookie regarding your usage of the Website (including your IP address) and from processing such data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
For further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics, please navigate to the “Help” section of Google Analytics via the following link: http://google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html.
GOOGLE ADWORDS CONVERSION TRACKING AND REMARKETING TRACKING
In order to collect statistics on the use of our Website and in order to optimize our Website for your benefit, we also use Google Conversion Tracking. This is a service offered by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). To this end, Google places a Cookie (see Section V of the present Privacy Statement) on your computer whenever you reach our Website by way of a Google Ad. These Cookies become invalid after 90 days and cannot be used to identify you personally. If you visit one of our web pages and assuming the Cookie has not yet expired, both we and Google will be able to see that you clicked on the ad and that it referred you to our site. Each AdWords customer receives a different Cookie, so that the Cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of multiple AdWords customers.
Google will use this information on our behalf to generate visitor statistics for our Website. We will use these visitor statistics to determine the total number of users referred to us by AdWords advertisements and to optimize our AdWords advertising efforts accordingly. This information may also be transferred to third parties insofar as this is mandated by law or insofar as third parties process these data on a commissioned basis. Neither we nor any other advertising customers of Google AdWords will receive information from Google that allows you to be personally identified.
Moreover, our Website uses Google Remarketing Tracking as part of the Google AdWords service. This, too, is a service offered by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). The remarketing function allows advertising based on your personal interests to be displayed to you, as the user of our Website, on other websites within Google’s content network (on Google itself, so-called “Google Ads” or on other websites). To this end, your interaction with our Website will be analyzed, such as the offers that you took an interest in, so as to allow us to display targeted advertisements to you on other websites after you have terminated your visit to our website.
In the process, Google will place a Cookie on your computer (see Section V of the present Privacy Statement) insofar as you use certain Google services or visit certain websites forming part of the Google content network. These Cookies cannot be used to identify you personally.
The information generated by the Cookie so placed on your computer concerning your usage of our Website (including your IP address) will be transferred to a Google server located in the United States and stored there. As explained above, Google has been certified under the Privacy Shield Framework, meaning that an adequate level of data protection is in place in accordance with the corresponding Implementing Decision of the European Commission. The certificate is available online for inspection under: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI. However, your IP address will first be shortened on our Website by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other states signatory to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the United States and shortened there.
You can prevent the storage of these Cookies in your browser by configuring your browser settings accordingly. Please be advised, however, that this may prevent you from using all the functions of our Website to their full extent.
Furthermore, you can object against interest-based advertising from Google. To do this, you must call up www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers you use and then make the desired setting changes.
For further information on Google’s data privacy policy, please see the following links: http://google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy and https://www.google.com/privacy/ads/.
GOOGLE TAG MANAGER
We also use Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed by way of a user interface. Tags are small code elements the purpose of which includes measuring traffic and visitor behavior. Google Tag Manager merely implements such tags. This does not cause any Cookies to be placed, meaning that no Personal Data will be recorded. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags which may themselves record data under certain circumstances. Google Tag Manager does not access these data, however. Once the deactivation function has been selected at the domain or Cookie level, it will remain in effect for all tracking tags implemented by Google Tag Manager.
FACEBOOK CUSTOM AUDIENCES
Furthermore, we also utilize the “Custom Audiences” remarketing function offered by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Facebook”). This allows interest-based advertising to be displayed to users of our Website when they visit the social network Facebook or other websites that likewise employ this function (“Facebook-Ads”).
For this marketing function, we use the “Facebook Pixel” feature on our web pages, i.e. so-called “tracking pixels” are integrated onto our web pages. Whenever you visit our web pages, these tracking pixels serve to establish a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server.
In the process, Facebook will receive, inter alia, the information from your browser that our Website was accessed by your terminal device. Please be advised that we have no control over the volume of data transferred in this context or over how Facebook proceeds to use it. Thus, we can only describe the operative process as we currently understand it to the best of our knowledge: The integration of Facebook Custom Audiences causes Facebook to be informed that you have called up a given web page of our internet presence or that you have clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook will be able to match up the visit with your user account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook, or have not logged onto Facebook, it is still possible that the provider may learn your IP address and other identifiers that relate to you and may store them.
Facebook has been certified under the Privacy Shield Framework, meaning that an adequate level of data protection is in place in accordance with the corresponding Implementing Decision of the European Commission. The certificate is available online for inspection under https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC.
You can at any time object to the usage of Facebook website Custom Audiences with effect for the future by using the following link: https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/
For further information on data protection and your configuration options in this regard, please navigate to https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads or to https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.
VII.USE OF SOCIAL PLUG-INS
Our Website makes use of the so-called “social plug-ins” of social networks, e.g. Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Twitter, and Tumblr (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Twitter, and Tumblr being collectively referred to hereinbelow as “Social Networks” and the corresponding plug-ins as “Plug-ins”). With these Plug-ins, we offer you the option to interact with the Social Networks and with other users, which allows us to improve our offering and to make it more appealing to you, while at the same time raising awareness of our enterprise. The legal basis for the use of social Plug-ins is Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 lit. f) of the GDPR. Responsibility for ensuring data protection-compliant operations lies with the respective provider.
We use the Plug-ins of the Facebook network, such as the “Like” button. These Plug-ins are offered and operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Facebook”), and are clearly designated by the Facebook logo. In addition, we utilize Plug-ins of the Instagram service, operated by Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Instagram”). These Plug-ins are designated by the Instagram logo. We also use the Plug-ins of the YouTube network, which is owned by Google Inc., San Bruno, California, USA (“YouTube”), whereby the YouTube logo serves as the designator. We furthermore utilize the Plug-ins of the Pinterest network, which is offered and operated by Pinterest Inc., 808 Brannan St., San Francisco, CA 94103, USA (“Pinterest”); these Plug-ins are designated by the “Pin-it” button. Our Website also features Plug-ins which are integrated, offered, and operated by the Twitter service owned by Twitter Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA (“Twitter”), these Plug-ins are designated by the Twitter logo or the suffix “Tweet.” Finally, we utilize the Plug-ins of the Tumblr network operated by Tumblr Inc., 35 East 21st St., New York, NY 10010, USA, (“Tumblr”), which are designated by the word “Tumblr.”
Whenever you access a web page of ours that contains this type of Plug-in, your browser will establish a direct connection to the server of the respective Social Network. The content of the Plug-in will be transferred directly to your browser from the corresponding Social Network and will be integrated into the Website without our being able to exercise any control over said content.
Regardless of whether you maintain a user account with a Social Network or whether you have logged on to the respective Social Network, web pages that contain Plug-ins from that Social Network will transfer information to the corresponding Social Network in the USA, where this information will be stored. This will include the type and version of your operating system and browser, respectively, as well as your IP address and the domain name and/or date stamp, respectively time stamp, associated with your visit. Each time the web page is called up, the respective Social Network will deposit a Cookie containing an identifier that will remain valid for two years. Since your browser automatically co-transmits this Cookie each time a connection is established with a server, the corresponding Social Network fundamentally would be able to generate a profile of the online web pages called up by the user associated with the identifier. If you have logged on to the respective Social Network at the time, said Social Network will be able to match up the profile to the user account you maintain with that Social Network and thus to you personally. But even if you are not logged in to the respective Social Network when you use our Website, this will not preclude such a match-up from occurring, for example when you log in with the corresponding Social Network at some later time.
Whenever you interact with these Plug-ins, e.g. by activating the “Like” or “Tweet” button or by posting a comment, the corresponding information will be sent from your browser directly to the corresponding Social Network and stored there, without our being able to exert any influence in this regard. The information will also be published on the Social Network and will be displayed to your contacts on said network.
The respective Social Network may use the information thus obtained for advertising purposes, to perform market research, and to configure its web pages as needed. To this end, the Social Network will generate profiles of your usage, interests, and relationships, e.g. in order to analyze your usage of our Website in connection with the ads shown to you on the Social Network, to inform other users of the Social Network about your activities on our Website, and to provide additional services associated with usage of the Social Network. Please note that we do not obtain any precise knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its usage by the Social Network. For more detailed information on the nature, purposes, and scope of the subsequent processing and usage of your data by the respective Social Network, please consult the Privacy Policy of each Social Network:

For Twitter: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TORzAAO&status=Active
If you, as the user of a Social Network, wish to prevent the corresponding Social Network from collecting information regarding you during your visit to our Website, you can log out of that Social Network when commencing your visit to the Website, erase the corresponding Social Network’s cookie (if one exists) from your browser, and select the “Block Third-Party Cookies” function on your browser. In this case, your browser will not transfer any Cookies to the servers in the event of embedded content of other providers. Note, however, that this configuration, besides blocking the Plug-ins, may also cause certain functions extending across webpages to become unavailable.
