d) Cookies

We use the following cookies:

aa) Session cookies
A session cookie is text information that is stored by the browser on your end device. The session cookie is either sent from the web server to the browser or generated in the browser by a script (JavaScript) and is used on the Lynxes website for session stability. As soon as you close the browser, the session cookie is also deleted.

A language cookie is text information that is stored in the browser on your end device. The language cookie stores the language used for the website in the ISO country code. As soon as you close the browser, the language cookie is deleted.

e) Peculiarities of social media services

In the following we inform you whether and to what extent social media providers process data about you when you visit our website.

aa) Social media plugins
We use social media plugins from the following providers on www.lynxes.de:

  • Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook Like Button” and “Instagram Button”)

  • Twitter Inc., Attn: Privacy Policy Inquiry, 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103 (“Twitter Button”)

  • XING SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg (“Xing button”)

  • Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland (“Youtube button”)

The legal basis for the use of these plugins is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in making our services known as widely as possible and thus securing our economic existence.

bb) How the data collection works technically
The following explanation applies to all social media plugins that you can use on www.lynxes.de.

We use the so-called Shariff method. As a result, when you visit our website, the "social media button" is deactivated ("greyed out"). This means that no data is transferred from your browser to the social media provider. Only when you activate the "social media button" by clicking will your browser establish a connection with the servers of the social media provider. The social media provider then receives the information that you have visited our site and with which IP address. If you are already logged in as a member of the respective provider, the social media provider assigns this information to your personal user account with the respective social media provider. When using the "social media button" (e.g. clicking the button, making a comment), the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to the social media provider and also assigned to your user account with the respective social media provider and processed there.

cc) Further information from the social media providers
Further information on the processing of the data by the respective social media provider and on your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy can be found under the following links:

4. Recipients of the data

Your data will not be passed on to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. Insofar as Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter c) GDPR is required to fulfill the obligations under Sections 12 et seq. HinSchG, the data will be passed on to third parties for the purpose of fulfilling the obligation. This includes in particular the transfer to hosting companies on whose servers the Lynxes software is hosted and the data is processed.

With regard to data processing by the hosting company, the data protection notices there apply because the hosting company is solely responsible for data processing.

​

5. No Automated Decision Making

We do not use automated decision-making according to Art. 22 DS-GVO.

​

6. Your rights under the GDPR

As the data subject, you have the following rights:

  • Revocation of a data protection consent according to Art. 7 Para. 3 DS-GVO
