This website uses Matomo (formerly Piwik), an open source software for the statistical analysis of visitor access. The provider of the Matomo software is InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand. Matomo uses cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is stored on our server in Germany, as we host Matomo ourselves. The IP address is anonymised immediately after processing and before it is stored. You have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by changing the settings of your browser software. We would like to point out that if you do so, you may no longer be able to use all the functions of this website. You can decide whether a unique web analysis cookie may be stored in your browser to enable the operator of the website to collect and analyse various statistical data. You can find more information on the privacy settings of the Matomo software at the following link: matomo.org/docs/privacy/.

e. Storage periods
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes or you have withdrawn your consent.
f. Legal / contractual requirement
The provision of your personal data is voluntary, solely on the basis of your consent.
g. Third country transfer
Although Matomo is based in New Zealand, all data is hosted by Matomo on our own servers located in Germany.
The processing therefore does not take place outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA).
h. Revocation of consent
You can revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data at any time with effect for the future. To do this, you can change the cookie settings via our cookie banner.
i. Automated decision-making and profiling
With the help of the tracking tool Matomo, the behaviour of visitors to the website can be evaluated and their interests analysed. We create a pseudonymised user profile for this purpose.
VII Online presence in social media
We maintain online presences within social networks in order to inform the users active there about our services and to communicate directly via the platforms if there is interest. We are currently represented on the following networks:
Facebook: de-de.facebook.com/Bayerische.Milchindustrie/
Facebook can only be accessed by visitors to the website via an external link. We do not use any plugins or other interfaces on our website that the respective networks offer for embedding the offers on websites.
We have no influence on the collection of data and its further use by the social networks. For example, we have no knowledge of the extent to which, where and for how long the data is stored, the extent to which the networks comply with existing deletion obligations, which analyses and links are made with the data and to whom the data is passed on. We therefore expressly draw your attention to the fact that user data (e.g. personal information, IP address) is stored by the network operators in accordance with their data usage guidelines and used for business purposes.
We process the data of users in the social media presences insofar as they contact and communicate with us via comments or direct messages, for example.
The legal basis for the processing of the user's data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b and f GDPR.
You can access the Facebook social media network via external links on our website. All functions in the social media network are offered by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. The Facebook channels can only be accessed via an external link.
If you are logged into Facebook with your own profile and access our social media channel, Facebook can assign your visit to your logged-in profile. If you do not wish your user account to be associated with your IP address, please log out of your Facebook account before using our website.
For further information on the processing of your data, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy: facebook.com/privacy/explanation and to our "Facebook Fanpage" data policy
