iq
We work with iq media marketing GmbH, Toulouser Allee 27, 40211 Düsseldorf, hereinafter referred to in short as “iq”, a provider of user-based online advertising services. We receive pseudonymised data of the users of our websites from iq for marketing purposes. This data may be compiled with plain data if you provide your consent. Insofar as iq carries out data processing, the data shall only be processed in pseudonymised form.
iq explains the activities it carries out in the following: when websites in its marketing portfolio are accessed, iq sets cookies in a user’s browser. In order to avoid scattering loss when sending advertising materials, iq also compares its own cookies to cookies it receives from third parties, for example in order to avoid contacting the same user twice or to increase the target accuracy of advertising materials. In some cases, iq uses corresponding contracts to enable third parties to set their own cookies in the iq portfolio or to provide third parties with data segments which have been collected using cookies. The use of cookies may be restricted or prevented by using the corresponding option to restrict the storage of cookies. This does not reduce the scope of the marketing, but just the relevance thereof. At iqdigital.de/transparenz you can find an explanatory overview of the cookies used by iq with a link to the option of deselecting these individually (opt-out).
In principle, the following types of cookies are used by iq:
1. Cookies for campaign validation: these cookies are used to check whether an advertising campaign has been carried out by iq in accordance with the order for an advertising customer. These include
2. Cookies for achieving increased target accuracy: cookies only ever transmit pseudonymised data. Identification, for example by gender or areas of interest, is not possible with a cookie. The cookie does not know which user is currently accessing the browser. Therefore, iq cookies are compared with cookies from other service providers in order to increase the hit probability in a certain segment (e.g. gender). iq uses the following cookies for this type of comparison:
The personal – pseudonymised – data is processed by iq on the basis of Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. This permission basis enables the processing of personal data in the event the controller has a legitimate interest in doing so and this is not overridden by the interests of a user. Our legitimate interest is in the provision of the functions of our websites and the information which has been compiled with a great deal of effort and which we make available free of charge. This would not be possible without the marketing of advertising opportunities. In terms of the user-related sending of advertising materials, we base our activities on the standard selections.
You may object to this data processing at any time if there are reasons for doing so relating to your specific situation which constitute an argument against data processing. In order to raise an objection, it is sufficient to send an email to the data protection officer at datenschutz@visable.com.
Our website uses the marketing functions (“LinkedIn Insight tag”) of the network LinkedIn. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

We evaluate how the newsletters we send out are used.

We use the data obtained to create a user profile to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. In so doing, we record when you read our newsletter, and what links you click on in the newsletter, and use this to determine what your interests are. We link this data with your actions on our website.
