Use of cookies

a) this website uses the following kinds of kinds of cookies, whose function will be explained as follows:

Transient cookies (explanation b)
Persistent cookies (explanation c).

b) Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. This includes session cookies in particular. They save a so-called session ID, which allows various requests your browser makes to be allocated to a common session. Your computer can be identified in this way when you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted as soon as you log out or close the browser.

c) Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a set period of time, which can vary depending on the type of cookie. You can delete cookies at any time in your browser’s security settings.

Forms

Our website contains various forms, with which you can make specific requests or leave information, such as questions about certain events, press accreditation, the download of specific material or updating your data. The required fields are highlighted in the forms accordingly. Providing further, correspondingly highlighted data is voluntary and is used primarily to be able to address you personally. We use this data for the purposes of the request(s) you have made. The data collected in this case is deleted as soon as its storage is no longer necessary, or inhibits its processing when legal obligations to preserve records exist. The legal basis for this is article 6, paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR or, or when it comes to fulfilling a contract or the fulfillment of pre-contractual measures, article 6, paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR.

E-Mail

With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter and other email services, with which we inform you about our current events and other news connected to our company. The services advertised are listed in the consent agreement.

The so-called double opt-in procedure is used to register for our email service. This means that we send you an email to the address provided asking you to confirm that you would like to receive the newsletter. In addition to that, we save the IP address used and the time of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to verify your registration and to clarify any potential misuses of your personal data.

The only requirement for receiving emails as part of the email service is your email address. The provision of further, specifically highlighted data is voluntary and is used to be able to address you personally. After receiving your confirmation, we save your email address in order to send you the newsletter. The legal basis for this is article 6, paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.

You can withdraw your consent to receiving the newsletter and can unsubscribe from it at any time. To withdraw your consent, you can click on the link provided in every newsletter email or send an email directly to info@classicheroes.co.uk.

We would like to make you aware that we analyze your user behavior when sending you newsletters. To perform this analysis, the emails sent contain so-called web-beacons or tracking pixels that show one-pixel images that are saved on our website. For the analysis, we automatically connect the data collected when visiting the website (see above) and the web-beacons with your email address and an individual ID. The data collected in this way is used to create a user profile, which allows us to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. In the process, we collect data when you read our newsletter and which links you click on. This allows us to deduce your personal interests. This data is connected with the actions you take on our website. The legal basis for this is article 6, paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.

You can withdraw your consent to this tracking at any time by clicking on a special link provided in each email or by contacting us in another way. The information is saved for as long as you subscribe to the newsletter. After de-registration, the data saved is purely statistical and anonymous.

Google Adwords Conversions

We use Google Adwords to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords). In relation to the advertising campaign’s data, we can determine how successful individual advertising measures are. We do this in order to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting to you and to achieve a fairer calculation of advertising costs.

These advertising materials are provided by Google through a so-called ‘ad server’. We use ad server cookies, which use certain parameters to measure success, such as the overlay of ads or user clicks. If you arrive at our website via a Google ad, then Google Adwords saves a cookie on your computer. These cookies generally loose their validity after 30 days and should not be used for the purposes of identifying you personally. As a rule, these cookies save analytic data such as the unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), the last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) as well as opt-out information (markers that indicate that the user does not want to be solicited).

These cookies allow Google to recognize your Internet browser. If a user visits an adwords client’s specific websites and the cookie saved on their computer is still valid, then both Google and the client can see that the user clicked on the ad and that it led to the website. Every adwords client is allocated a different cookie. This means that cookies cannot be traced back through the websites of adwords clients. We do not collect and process personal data in the advertising materials mentioned. Google only provides us with statistical analyses. On the basis of these analyses, we can recognize which of the advertising materials used are particularly effective. We do not receive further data from the use of advertising materials. In particular, we are not able to identify the user on the basis of this information.

Because of the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with a Google server. We have no influence upon the scope and further usage of the data by Google that come as a result of using this tool. As far as we know, AdWords Conversion gives Google the information that you have clicked on a specific section of our Internet presence or an ad. If you are registered with a Google service, then Google can allocate this action or visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, it is still possible that the provider can find your IP address and save it.

You can prevent this kind of tracking in various ways: a) by setting up your browser software accordingly, especially by suppressing third-party cookies, which ensures that you don’t receive ads from third parties; b) by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting up your browser so that cookies from the domain ‘www.googleadservices.com’ are blocked (this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies); c) by deactivating interest-based ads from providers that are part of the self-regulating ‘about ads’ campaign, a list of which can be found here http://www.aboutads.info/choices (this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies); d) by permanent deactivation in Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome at the following link: http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to point out that by taking any of these measures, it is possible that you will be unable to use all the functions we offer completely.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is article 6, paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. Further information about data protection at Google can be found here: http://www.google.com/policies/privacy and https://services.google.com/sitestats. Alternatively, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) website at http://www.networkadvertising.org. Google is also subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

DoubleClick by Google

This website continues to use DoubleClick by Google, an online marketing tool. DoubleClick uses cookies to deliver advertisements that are relevant to the user, to generate reports to improve campaign performance and to avoid showing a user the same ad several times. Google collects which ads were run in which browser with a cookie ID and can therefore prevent ads being shown multiple times. Furthermore, DoubleClick can collect conversions with the help of cookie IDs that are related to the display of ads. This is the case when a user sees a DoubleClick advertisement and then uses the same browser to later access the advertiser’s website to buy something, for example. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.

Your browser automatically makes a direct connection with one of Google’s servers as part of the use of this marketing tool. We have no influence upon the scope and further usage of the data by Google that come as a result of using this tool. As far as we know, DoubleClick gives Google the information that you have clicked on a specific section of our Internet presence or an ad. If you are registered with a Google service, then Google can allocate this action or visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, it is still possible that the provider can find your IP address and save it.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is article 6, paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. Further information about DoubleClick by Google can be found here: https://www.google.de/doubleclick and http://support.google.com/adsense/answer/2839090. You can find out more about Google’s general data protection policies here: https://www.google. de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Alternatively, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) website at http://www.networkadvertising.org. Google is also subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a Google Inc. (“Google”) web analysis service. Its use involves “universal analytics”. This makes it possible to analyze a user’s data, sessions, interactions and activities across multiple devices by assigning a pseudonymous user ID. Google Analytics uses cookies, text files that are saved on your computer and allow for the analysis of a website’s use. As a rule, information generated by cookies are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and saved there. If IP anonymisation is activated on this website, then your IP address is shortened by Google if you are in European Union member states and other countries that are members of the European Economic Area. Your full IP address is only sent to Google in the USA and shortened there in exceptional circumstances.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google uses this information to analyze your use of the website, to generate reports about website activities and to deliver further website and Internet usage-based services to the website operator.

As part of the usage of Google Analytics, the IP address your browser transmits is not connected with other Google data. The data we send and the data connected to cookies, user recognition (such as a user ID) or advertising IDs are deleted automatically after 14 months. Data that has reached its retention period is deleted automatically once a month.

You can prevent the saving of cookies on your computer by setting up your browser accordingly. However, we would like to point out that it is possible that you may not be able to use all of the functions provided on the website completely. Furthermore, you can prevent the collect of data generated by cookies and website usage-related data (including your IP address) by Google by downloading and installing the plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

You can prevent collect by Google Analytics by clicking on the link below. An opt-out cookie is set, which will prevent the collection of your data when visiting our sites:

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

To prevent data collection by universal analytics on various devices, you need to perform the opt-out on all systems used.

We use Google Analytics to analyze how our website is used and to be able to constantly improve it. The statistics gained can help us improve our Internet presence and make it more interesting to for you as a user. In exceptional cases where personal data is transmitted to the USA, Google is subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield: https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is article 6, paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Third party information: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001. Terms and conditions: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html, Overview of data protection: http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html, Google’s data protection policy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Twitter & Facebook

At the moment, we use the following social media plug-ins: Twitter and Facebook. In doing so, we used a so-called two-click solution. That means that if you visit our page, in principle we do not pass on any personal data to plug-in providers. You can recognize the providers of plug-ins through the tag above the first letter of their name or their logo. We give you the possibility to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in through a button. The plug-in provider is only notified that you have visited our website if you click on the highlighted field and activate it. The data gathered automatically when visiting the website (see above) is also transmitted. By activating the plug-in, personal data is transmitted by you to the plug-in provider and stored there (in the USA in the case of American providers). Since the plug-in provider gathers data with cookies in particular, we recommend that you delete all your browser’s cookies before you click on the grayed out button.

We have no influence on the data gathered and how it is processed. We are also unaware of the complete scope of data collected and what time limits apply to their storage. We have no information about the deleting of data collected by the plug-in provider.

The plug-in provider saves this data as user profiles and uses it for advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of their website. This kind of analysis takes place (even for users that are not logged in) to deliver needs-based advertising and to inform other users of social networks about your activity on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of user profiles. However, you have to contact the provider of the plug-in in order to be able to do so. By using plug-ins, we give you the opportunity to interact with other users and social networks, which allows us to improve our Internet presence and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of plug-ins is article 6, paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Data forwarding happens regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and you are logged in. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, then the data we have collected is directly connected with the account that exists with the plug-in provider. If you push the activated button and you link to the page, for example, then the plug-in provider saves this information in your user account and publically shares it with your contacts. We recommend that you log out of social networks regularly, especially before activating the button, which will prevent a connection with your profile at the plug-in provider.

Further information about the scope and nature of data collected and how the plug-in provider processes it can be found in their data protection statement. There, you will also find further information about your rights and the settings you can use to protect your privacy: Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, California 94103, USA; https://twitter.com/privacy. Twitter and Facebook are subject to the EU-US-Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. Facebook: 1 Hacker Way
94025 Menlo Park, California, USA.

We reserve the right to update this data protection statement as necessary in relation to technical developments or in connection with the provision of new services or products. You will always be able to see the current version on the website.
