3. when you come into contact with our technology as an end user

Tracking technology of the Ingenious Partner Management Platform | Use of cookies

In accordance with the contract with us, our customers use the tracking technology developed by us to establish the connection between a click by you on an advertising medium (or a display of an advertising medium (touch point) in your web browser) and an action by you (e.g. a purchase in the online store or a newsletter registration). For each touch point, your browser sends an HTTP request to the Ingenious server, with which certain information is transmitted. This information includes the URL of the website on which the advertising material is placed (referrer URL), the browser identification (user agent) of your end device (including information about the device type and operating system), the IP address of the end device (this IP address is anonymized by us before storage), HTTP headers (data packet automatically transmitted by your browser with various technical information), the time of the request and, if previously stored on the end device, the cookie with its entire content.

A cookie is a small data packet that is exchanged between your browser and the server. The information relevant to the web application can be stored and transmitted in this data packet, e.g. the contents of a virtual shopping basket.

The tracking technology stores cookies on your end device to document actions. Information about the last touch points is stored in the cookie (i.e. when a specific advertising medium was displayed or clicked on by an end device). A cookie ID generated by us is also stored in the cookie. For this cookie ID, we store the data about the touch points that have taken place and information about your actions. The stored touch points can be combined into a sequence chain (user journey) if necessary.

With a promotion request, the order number and the shopping cart value of your order are usually also transmitted and stored by us. In addition, the following values may be transmitted and stored: Your customer number, new customer feature, your age and gender as well as the information you provided in a customer survey.

The information transmitted to us and the cookies serve the sole purpose of correctly assigning the success of an advertising medium and the corresponding billing and is justified by our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

If you do not wish cookies to be stored in your browser, you can do so by changing the relevant browser settings. You can deactivate the storage of cookies in your browser under Extras/Internet options, restrict them to certain websites or set your browser to notify you as soon as a cookie is sent. Please note, however, that in this case you must expect a limited display of the online offers and limited user guidance. You can also delete cookies at any time. In this case, the information stored in them will be removed from your end device.

The collection and processing of tracking data can also be deactivated by clicking on this tracking opt-out link:

https://<Tracking-Domain>/ts/<Advertiser-ID>/tsv?settrackingoptout

When you click on the tracking opt-out link, a special cookie is written, which deactivates tracking in the current web browser of the end device. However, tracking is reactivated as soon as you delete the tracking opt-out cookie.

You can see which cookies are used by our tracking technology in detail in the following overview:

a. Domain: <Tracking-Domain des Kunden>

Cookie Name: tsv

Purpose: This cookie is written when an ad is displayed. This cookie contains a cookie ID and a list with the data about the last view touch points, consisting of time, referrer URL and Admedia code (unique identification of an advertising medium, which contains information about the sales channel, publisher, publisher's website and advertising medium).

b. Domain: <Tracking-Domain des Kunden>

Cookie name: tsc

Purpose: This cookie is written when an advertising medium is clicked on. This cookie contains a cookie ID, a list with the data about the last click - touch points, consisting of time, referrer URL, ID of the page in the customer's store system and Admedia code (unique identification of an advertising medium, which contains information about the sales channel, publisher, publisher's website and advertising medium).
