Cookie Policy

When you visit our website some cookies or other tracking technologies may be stored on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone). This Cookie Policy contains information on what cookies are, the type of cookies used by Deekeling Arndt Advisors in Communications GmbH (H/Advisors Deekeling Arndt), part of the Havas Group, on https://deekeling-arndt.h-advisors.global and the purpose of these cookies, and your choices regarding cookies.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy and our Legal Notice and Terms of Use (Imprint).

What are cookies and other tracking technologies?

Cookies are small text files which contain an amount of data generated when you browse on a website. They are installed in your internet browser. The other tracking technologies, such as web beacons, pixels or clear gifs, work similarly to cookies.

Cookies and other tracking technologies are used to monitor your activities on a website when, with your consent, first-party cookies (set by us) or third-party cookies (set by other providers) are used to collect information on how you use the website, and to improve both the way the website functions and your visiting experience.

There are two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies.

1. Session cookies are temporary and therefore automatically deleted from your device every time you close your browser;

2. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a period of time specified in the cookie and are activated every time you visit the website which installed it.

Cookies from third-party providers

In some cases we engage third parties to manage our cookies. Third parties can also use their own cookies or other tracking technologies to gather information about your activities on the website, especially to show you personalised advertising on their own websites.

Some cookies from social networks may also be installed on your device to enable you to interact on platforms such as Facebook or Twitter.

We are not involved in any way in implementing such third-party cookies or how they work, and have no access to or control over them. These cookies are subject to their own policies, which may be inspected on every third-party provider’s website, to which we draw your attention. We are therefore not responsible for the data gathered by these third-party cookies and cannot supply you with any further information about the nature of the data gathered by them.

What type of cookies do we use and for which purpose?

When you browse on our website, we use the following types of cookies:

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are necessary for the proper operation of the services provided on the website. They are used to provide the basic functionalities of the website, like remembering information entered in a form or your language preference or allowing you to access your personal account. If you disable these cookies, you will no longer be able to use these features and the website might not work as efficiently as it should.

Performance cookies 

These cookies are used to collect anonymous data for statistical purposes. They allow us to measure the audience on the website and analyse the way visitors browse the website (number of visitors on the website, number of visits per page, time spent on each page, areas where there are clicks, measure of the effectiveness of advertising, etc.). They are also used to detect browser issues or any other difficulty. These cookies help us improve our website and make your browsing experience better.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a web analysis tool that we use to structure our website to meet requirements. Google Analytics generates usage profiles using pseudonyms. To do this, it stores persistent cookies on your device which we can read out. This enables us to recognise returning visitors and to count them as such.

Google Ireland Limited, as processor in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, provides us with support for the Google Analytics service. In this connection, Google may also process data outside the EU or the EEA, in the US in particular. The EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework guarantees that Google maintains an appropriate level of data privacy. Google also undertakes to conclude standard contractual clauses with further sub-processors.

Data processing is based on your consent, if you have granted it via our banner. You may revoke your consent at any time.  To do this, please follow the link shown below and adjust the appropriate settings via our banner.

Provider	Maximum length of storage	Appropriate level of data privacy	Revocation of consent
Google	13 months	For transmissions to the US, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework guarantees an appropriate level of data privacy based on the provider’s certification.	If you want to revoke your consent, click here and adjust the appropriate settings via our banner.

Functional cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set either by us or by verified third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our pages.

Embedded videos

Our website includes embedded videos which are not stored on our servers. For data privacy reasons, however, no content from the third-party provider can be downloaded at the point when you access our website, and no data is received by the provider.

Content from the third-party provider will be downloaded only when you grant consent via our banner. This tells the third-party provider that you have accessed our website and transmits the usage data that is necessary in this connection for technical reasons. The third-party provider will then also be able to use tracking tools. We have no influence on the further processing of your data by the third-party provider. Your consent includes agreement to download content from the third-party provider.

Embedding is based on your consent, if you have granted it via our banner. Insofar as the data in this connection is processed outside the EU or the EEA (in the US in particular), the following table provides details on the level of data privacy.

Provider	Maximum length of storage	Appropriate level of data privacy	Revocation of consent
