As of: April 1, 2025

This Cookie Policy informs you about the use of cookies on our website www.fa-ads.de. We explain which types of cookies we use, for what purpose they are used, and how you can manage or revoke your consent – in accordance with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG).

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device (e.g. PC, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They contain information about your browser configuration, your session ID, user settings, or information about your navigation on the site.

Cookies help us to keep our website technically functional, improve your user experience, or conduct statistical analysis. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the site, while others require your consent.

2. Which cookies do we use?

We use various types of cookies on our website. These differ according to purpose and legal basis:

a) Technically necessary cookies

These cookies are required to ensure the proper functioning of our website. Without them, basic functions such as navigation, language settings, form handling, or security would not be possible. They are set automatically and do not require your consent.

Examples:

• Session ID cookies

• Security/authentication cookies

• Consent management (e.g. the cookie banner itself)

b) Functional cookies

These cookies enable us to store your preferences and settings (e.g. language, display, font size) in order to enhance your experience on our site. These cookies are only set with your consent.

c) Statistics and analysis cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website. For example, we collect:

• Which pages are visited most frequently

• How long users stay on a page

• Which devices and browsers are used to access the site

This data is anonymized and used solely for the improvement of our website. It is only collected with your explicit consent.

d) Marketing and tracking cookies

These cookies allow us (or third parties) to display personalized content or advertisements – even on other websites or social media platforms. For example, they recognize whether you have visited our site before or whether certain actions (e.g. clicks, contact requests) have taken place.

Such cookies are only set if you have given your explicit consent.

3. Cookie consent and management

When visiting our website for the first time, a cookie banner will appear, allowing you to:

• Accept all cookies

• Allow or reject specific categories (e.g. only functional cookies)

• Accept only technically necessary cookies

Your decision will be documented and can be changed or revoked at any time under “Cookie Settings” in the footer of the website.

Our cookie consent management is handled via Wix Consent Manager and complies with the requirements of the GDPR and TTDSG.

4. Third-party cookies and data transfer

We use services from third-party providers on our website that may also store or access cookies. These include:

• Google Analytics (website analysis)

• YouTube (video embedding)

• Google Maps (map display)

• Facebook/Instagram plugins (social media content)

• Wix.com (website hosting and consent tool)

These third parties may also process personal data or store cookies in your browser, depending on your consent. Please note that data may be transferred to third countries (e.g. the USA or Israel).

For such data transfers, we use:

• Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission (Art. 46 GDPR)

• Adequacy decisions (e.g. for Israel)

• Only services that ensure GDPR-compliant data processing

Consent for third-party cookies is processed exclusively after active approval via the cookie banner.

5. Cookie storage duration

The lifespan of a cookie depends on its purpose and provider.

• Session cookies are deleted once you close your browser.

• Persistent cookies may be stored for several months or years – depending on purpose and provider.

• You can manually delete cookies in your browser at any time.

6. Legal basis for the use of cookies

The processing of your personal data through cookies is based on the following legal grounds:

• Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR – for optional cookies based on your voluntary consent

• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – where legitimate interests apply (e.g. for technical security)

• § 25(1) TTDSG – for cookies requiring consent

• § 25(2) TTDSG – for technically necessary cookies (no consent required)

7. Managing and disabling cookies in your browser

You can control, restrict, or delete cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please note that disabling all cookies may result in certain website functions no longer being available.
