Cookies

Non-personal data may include, for example, pages that are visited on BUUR FASHION websites, unambiguous URLs that are called up on the website, browser type and screen resolution. Most non-personal data is collected via cookies or other analysis technologies. The websites of BUUR FASHION use cookies, web beacons and other technologies for data analysis and personalization services.

A 'cookie' is a small data file that is placed on your computer's hard drive by a website. HOME FASHION sends cookies, when you browse our website, buy something, request information or personalize and if you sign up for certain services. If you accept the cookies on our website, we do not have access to your personal data, but with the help of cookies we can identify your computer. Cookies are generally divided into 'session cookies' and 'permanent cookies'.

'Session cookies' do not remain on your computer when you leave our website or close your browser. With the help of the collected information we can analyze usage patterns and structures of our website. With this information we can continually improve our website by improving the content or personalization and simplifying the use.

'Permanent cookies' are cookies that remain on your computer. They are used to simplify your shopping, personalization and registration services. For example, cookies can remember what you wanted to purchase while you continue to shop. In addition, you will only need to enter your password on webpages for which a login is required. 'Permanent cookies' can be removed manually by the user.

Most browsers accept standard cookies. As a general rule, you can reject cookies or allow certain cookies by adjusting the settings of your browser accordingly. If you wish to deactivate cookies, certain features on our website may not be available to you and some web pages may not be displayed correctly.

Web beacons

Some web pages of BUUR FASHION and online newsletters in HTML format use web beacons in combination with cookies to compile general statistics for website use. A web beacon is an electronic, invisible image, also known as a single-pixel poison or a clear poison. Web beacons can recognize certain types of information on a visitor's computer, such as a visitor's cookie number, the time and date the page was opened, and the description of the page on which the web beacon is located. You can deactivate some web beacons by rejecting the cookies assigned to you.

External media companies

BUUR FASHION uses external media companies under certain circumstances to place ads for the items or services of BUUR FASHION on the websites of other companies. If you have opened a website on which the advertisements of BUUR FASHION appear, the relevant online media company may place a cookie or a web beacon on your computer. This way, the online media company can recognize the computer when the website is opened again with this computer, or it can be determined how the advertisements arrive at the users. This data is anonymous and neither linked to personal data on the users' computer nor to a BUUR FASHION database. A few newsletters from BUUR FASHION, made available by online media companies on behalf of BUUR FASHION, use the same technology. In both cases, this data is also used by online media companies to determine the interests of the users, the importance of advertisements and the content. BUUR FASHION does not have access to data collected by online media companies. To prevent online media companies from placing cookies on your computer, you must visit the websites of the individual media companies and delete the cookies according to the instructions or set the cookie filter of your browser accordingly.

BUUR FASHION uses third-party technologies to provide its customers with personalized offers on other websites at a later date. For this purpose, completely anonymized data about categories and articles viewed are collected. This is done by placing so-called cookies. At no time will personal data from customers be provided to third parties. Neither the technology supplier nor BUUR FASHION itself wants and can make a link with your person, your personal details or your place of residence. In addition, no links can be derived from the data that you provided during the registration. You are, were and will remain completely anonymous at any time. The collected data is exclusively used for the optimization of promotional activities in the form of advertising banners. Each of these advertising banners has an 'i' symbol, which allows customers to opt out of this technology and receive more information about the technology used.
