Website Analysis

We use web analysis tools for the appropriate design of our websites and in order to identify and count returning visitors. These tools generate usage files on the basis of pseudonyms. To this purpose, cookies are being used according to the description in our consent management tool.

We also use the following functions to quantify the traffic:
We enrich the pseudonymous data with other data provided by third-party providers. This enables us to capture the demographic characteristics of our visitors, for example information about their age, sex and place of residence.

Relevant personal data: see consent management system.

Tracking and retargeting technologies for marketing purposes

We use (cross-device) tracking technologies so that we can display targeted advertising outside of our website and determine how effective our advertising is.

How does the tracking work?

When you visit or use our websites, platforms, applications as well as other products and services, it is possible that the third-party providers listed in our consent management system access your browser or your end device (for example a so-called browser fingerprint), analyze your IP address, store and/or read recognition characteristics on your end device or gain access to individual tracking pixels.

The third-party providers may use the individual characteristics to recognize your end device on other websites. We can instruct the respective third-party providers to display advertising that is based on the visit or use of our websites, platforms, applications or other products and services.

What does cross-device tracking mean?

If you register with the third-party provider using your own user data, the respective recognition characteristics of different browsers and end devices can be lined with each other. If the third-party provider generated a separate characteristic for the laptop, desktop or the smartphone or tablet you use, these individual characteristics can be associated with each other as soon as you use a service of the third-party provider with your login information. This way, the third-party provider can effectively manage our advertising campaigns across different end device.

Relevant personal data: see consent management system.

Map, Video and other embedded Services

We embed certain services into our websites that are not stored on our servers. For example, you can find out the exact location of a SoftwareOne entity using maps or you can watch videos. In certain regions, we may ensure that access to our websites, platforms, applications or other products and services with embedded content does not automatically provide the third-party provider with any information, we only display locally stored thumbnails. In such case, content from third-party providers is only loaded after you provide your consent via our consent management system.
When you view the content, the third-party provider receives the information that you accessed our website as well as the usage data that are required in this regard for their service. We have no influence on the further data processing performed by the third-party provider.
