Notice on the use of cookies

When you visit one of the websites owned by HQW Precision GmbH, information will be stored on your terminal device in the form of a so-called “cookie”. Cookies are small text files which enable analysis of the use of the website, record settings and data in your browser, as well as allow customizing website to your interests and displaying interest-based advertising on other websites. We do not collect any personal data by means of cookies unless you have expressly given us your consent to do so.

1. Types of cookies

Depending on their function and purpose, cookies can be divided into two categories: technically necessary cookies and optional cookies. There may also be so-called first-party cookies, which are cookies that we place as the operator of the website, and so-called third-party cookies, which are placed by a domain other than ours. In principle, any cookie can be removed by deleting the browser cache, thereby immediately losing its validity.

Below you will find a list of all cookies that can be used on our websites as well as further information about their purpose, period of validity and type.

Technically necessary cookies

Technically necessary cookies are required so that you can navigate through our websites and operate the basic functions of our websites. Without these cookies, the use of the website may be limited.

Optional cookies

Optional cookies collect information about the use of our website, serve to optimise the website and allow the preparation of reports on probable interests and probable demographic characteristics of the visitors. They can also be used to offer targeted content that is relevant to the users and adapted to their interests. The latter information may be shared with third parties, such as advertisers.

In particular we inform you about the following services and cookies:

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service of Google Inc. (“Google“). Google Analytics uses cookies that allow analysing your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be abbreviated beforehand within the member states of the European Union or in other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide further services related to the website activity and Internet usage to the website operator.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended to include the code “anonymizeIp;“ in order to guarantee an anonymised collection of IP addresses (so- called IP masking).

More information about the Google Analytics Terms of Use and Privacy Policy is available at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html or at https://policies.google.com/.
