4. Cookies
The websites use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and managed on a computer system through an Internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called “cookie ID”. The cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A particular internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique identification number of the “cookie”.
Through the use of cookies, IBD International Brand Discount Ltd. can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By using a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the user’s interest. As already mentioned, cookies allow us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access details each time they visit the website, because this is done by the website and by the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the shopping cart cookie in the online store. The online store uses a cookie to remember the items that the customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart.
The person concerned can at any time prevent the setting of cookies from our website by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. In addition, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time through an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers.

16. Data protection provisions regarding the implementation and use of Google AdWords
The controller has integrated Google AdWords into this website. Google AdWords is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place advertisements in Google search engine results as well as in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables an advertiser to define predefined keywords by which an ad is only displayed in Google search engine results if the user invokes the search result matching the keyword with the search engine. In the Google advertising network, ads are distributed to relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account predefined keywords.
The operator of Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on third-party websites and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party advertising on our website.
If a data subject reaches our website through a Google advertisement, a so-called “conversion cookie” is stored in the information technology system of the data subject by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. The conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the person concerned. If the “cookie” has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to determine whether certain subpages, such as the shopping cart from an online store system, have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to find out whether an interested person who came to our website via AdWords advertising generated sales, i.e. completed or canceled a purchase.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create statistics about visits to our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who have been directed to us through AdWords advertisements, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the relevant AdWords advertisement and to optimize our AdWords advertisements for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive any personally identifiable information from Google.
The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transmit this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
The person concerned can at any time prevent the setting of cookies from our website, as already shown above, by means of the corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie in the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
The data subject also has the possibility to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the interested party must call the link
www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

20. Legal basis for processing payments, provision of courier services
We are committed to ensuring the security of personal data by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures in compliance with industry standards.
We store your data on secure servers using the latest encryption algorithms and guarantee the storage of backup copies.
We use the payment processing service VPOS to process the payments. All payment information is encrypted using SSL technology.
Despite the measures we implement to protect your personal data, we are aware that in general the transmission of information over the Internet or other public networks is not completely secure, and there is a risk that the data can be viewed and used by unauthorized third parties. We cannot accept responsibility for these vulnerabilities of systems that are not under our control.
Article 6 GDPR serves our company as a legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case for example in payment processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or remuneration, the processing is based on Article 6 I letter b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, for example for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6 I letter c) of the GDPR.
In rare cases, it may be necessary to process personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.

21. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I letter f of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and our shareholders.
22. Duration for which personal data is stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the corresponding statutory storage period. After the expiry of the period, the relevant data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer necessary for the performance of the contract or for the conclusion of a contract.
23. Statutory or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; Necessity to conclude the contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-compliance
The provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. contractual partner information). In order to enter into a contract, it may sometimes be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that we subsequently need to process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract cannot be concluded with the interested party. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees.
