Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer (PC, smartphone, etc.) and stored by your browser. They allow users to store specific device-related information on the access device. They serve for the user-friendliness of web pages and thus the users. On the other hand, they serve to capture the statistical data of website use (e.g., clicked banner ads, visited subpages, etc.) and analyse them to improve the offer. Users can influence the use of cookies. You can disable cookies in the most popular browsers. You can also set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and cookies only in individual cases allow, the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally exclude and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. However, it is pointed out that the use and especially the comfort of use are limited without cookies. Cookies required to perform the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored in accordance with the law. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically correct and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (such as cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy. Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
3.2 Server log files
The provider of this website and its pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser communicates to us automatically.
The information comprises:
- The type and version of browser used
- The used operating system

- The time of the server inquiry
- The IP address
A merge of this data with other data sources will not be done. The collection of this data is based on the applicable Swiss data protection regulations. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and the optimization of his website - for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.
3.3 Contact form, inquiry by e-mail, telephone or telefax
If you send us inquiries via contact form, if you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your details from the inquiry form including the contact details you provided there will be stored for processing the request and in case of follow-up questions.

3.4 Connection of services and content of third parties
It may happen that content from third parties, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, soundcloud audio files, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are included in this online offer. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as "third party provider") perceive the IP address of the users. Because without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of each user. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. Klaus-Häberlin AG has no influence on this if the third-party providers use the IP address, e.g. save for statistical purposes. It is also possible that third-party providers use cookies (for details see [COOKIES]).

The users receive the total number of users that have clicked on their ads and have been linked to a page equipped with a Conversion Tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that would allow them to personally identify these users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you have the option to object to this use by easily deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your web browser under user settings.

3.5.7 Google Analytics remarketing
Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in combination with the functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick, which work on all devices. The provider of these solutions is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This function makes it possible to connect the advertising target groups generated with Google Analytics Remarketing with the functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick, which work on all devices. This makes it possible to display interest-based customized advertising messages, depending on your prior usage and browsing patterns on a device (e.g. cell phone) in a manner tailored to you as well as on any of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC). If you have given us pertinent consent, Google will connect your web and app browser progressions with your Google account for this purpose. As a result, it is possible to display the same personalized advertising messages on every device you log into with your Google account. To support this function, Google Analytics records Google authenticated IDs of users that are temporarily connected with our Google Analytics data to define and compile the target groups for the ads to be displayed on all devices. You have the option to permanently object to remarketing / targeting across all devices by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google account. To do this, please follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/. The consolidation of the recorded data in your Google account shall occur exclusively based on your consent, which you may give to Google and also revoke there (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR). Data recording processes that are not consolidated in your Google account (for instance because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the consolidation of data), the recording of data is based on Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitor for advertising purposes.
