The Website uses cookies, which are small files that allow device-related information to be stored on user end devices (PCs, Smartphones, etc.). They make the Website more user-friendly, more efficient, and safer, and they in particular optimize our products and services for you and allow us to provide you with targeted information in the future. The Website uses so-called first party cookies, which are stored by us and third-party cookies, which are set by external providers to achieve certain purposes.

Most of the cookies used by Schiedel GmbH & Co. KG are “session cookies” that are automatically deleted when the Website visit ends. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our Website.

At present, the Schiedel GmbH & Co. KG Website uses the following Cookies:

Users can determine how these cookies are used. All current browsers have the option to limit or completely block the storage of cookies, generally, or only for certain websites. We point out, however, that the use and user-friendliness of our Website will be reduced if cookies are not allowed. Users can also manage many online advertising cookies via the United States website http://www.aboutads.info/choices or the European website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/.

All user data (such as IP addresses, usernames, etc.) is stored anonymously to make personal identification impossible.

(2) Google Analytics

The Website uses functions provided by the web analytics service Google Analytics. The service provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA, 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies, described above, in the form of text files which are stored on your computer.  The information collected by cookies regarding use of our online products and services is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on the portal, Google will reduce your IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other countries party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Google uses this information on behalf of Schiedel GmbH & Co. KG to evaluate the use of the Schiedel GmbH & Co.
