Coo­kies

The In­ter­net pa­ges of the law firm KOLOSSA part­ly use so-cal­led coo­kies. Coo­kies do not da­ma­ge your com­pu­ter and do not con­tain vi­ru­s­es. Coo­kies are used to make our web­site more user-fri­end­ly, ef­fec­ti­ve and secure.

Coo­kies are small text files that are stored on your com­pu­ter and sa­ved by your brow­ser. Most of the coo­kies we use are so-cal­led „ses­si­on coo­kies“. They are au­to­ma­ti­cal­ly de­le­ted af­ter your vi­sit. Other coo­kies re­main stored on your de­vice un­til you de­le­te them. The­se coo­kies enable us to re­co­g­ni­se your brow­ser on your next visit.

You can set your brow­ser so that you are in­for­med about the set­ting of coo­kies and only al­low coo­kies in in­di­vi­du­al ca­ses, ex­clude the ac­cep­tance of coo­kies for cer­tain ca­ses or in ge­ne­ral and au­to­ma­ti­cal­ly de­le­te them when clo­sing the brow­ser. If coo­kies are de­ac­ti­va­ted, the func­tion­a­li­ty of this web­site may be restricted.

In­for­ma­ti­on about our Face­book page
We ope­ra­te this page to draw at­ten­ti­on to our ser­vices and to cont­act you as a vi­si­tor and user of this Face­book page and our web­sites. We are not in­te­res­ted in coll­ec­ting and pro­ces­sing your per­so­nal data for ana­ly­sis or mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses.
The ope­ra­ti­on of this Face­book page, ta­king into ac­count the pro­ces­sing of the user’s per­so­nal data, is ba­sed on our le­gi­ti­ma­te in­te­rests in a con­tem­po­ra­ry and sup­port­i­ve me­ans of in­for­ma­ti­on and in­ter­ac­tion for and with our users and vi­si­tors in ac­cordance with Art. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR
Pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data by Face­book
The Eu­ro­pean Court of Ju­s­ti­ce (ECJ) has is­sued its jud­ge­ment of 5. In its ru­ling of 5 June 2018 (link), the ECJ ru­led that the ope­ra­tor of a Face­book page is re­spon­si­ble for pro­ces­sing per­so­nal data tog­e­ther with Face­book.
We know that Face­book pro­ces­ses the user’s data for the fol­lo­wing purposes:

• Ad­ver­ti­sing (ana­ly­sis, crea­ti­on of per­so­na­li­sed advertising)
• Crea­ti­on of user profiles
• Mar­ket research

Face­book uses coo­kies to store and pro­cess this in­for­ma­ti­on, i.e. small text files that are stored on the user’s va­rious de­vices.
If the user has a Face­book pro­fi­le and is log­ged in, the sto­rage and ana­ly­sis is also car­ri­ed out across de­vices. Facebook’s pri­va­cy po­li­cy con­ta­ins fur­ther in­for­ma­ti­on on data pro­ces­sing: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/
Pos­si­bi­li­ty of ob­jec­tion (so-cal­led opt-out) here: https://www.facebook.com/settings? Ta­bads
Face­book Inc., the US pa­rent com­pa­ny of Face­book Ire­land Ltd., is li­cen­sed un­der the EU Pri­va­cy Shield cer­ti­fi­ca­ti­ons and is thus com­mit­ted to com­ply­ing with Eu­ro­pean data pro­tec­tion gui­de­lines. Fur­ther in­for­ma­ti­on on Facebook’s Pri­va­cy Shield sta­tus can be found here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participa? id-a2z­t0000000­Gny­wAAC & sta­tus-ac­ti­ve
As the ope­ra­tor of the web­site, you can­not ex­clude the trans­fer and fur­ther pro­ces­sing of users‘ per­so­nal data to third count­ries such as the USA and the as­so­cia­ted po­ten­ti­al risks for users.

Sta­tis­ti­cal data
You can find sta­tis­ti­cal data from va­rious ca­te­go­ries for us via the so-cal­led „im­pres­si­ons“ of the Face­book page.
The­se sta­tis­tics are ge­ne­ra­ted and pro­vi­ded by Face­book. As the ope­ra­tor of the web­site, we have no in­fluence on the ge­ne­ra­ti­on and pre­sen­ta­ti­on. We can­not de­ac­ti­va­te this func­tion or pre­vent the ge­ne­ra­ti­on and pro­ces­sing of the data.
For a sel­ec­ta­ble pe­ri­od of time and for the ca­te­go­ries of fans, sub­scri­bers, peo­p­le re­a­ched and in­ter­ac­tions, the fol­lo­wing data is pro­vi­ded by Face­book in re­la­ti­on to our Face­book page: To­tal num­ber of page views, „Like“ de­tails, page ac­ti­vi­ty, post of­fices, show views, ent­ry views and comm­ents.
This is also pos­si­ble to pro­vi­de data via the Face­book groups lin­ked to our Face­book page.
The con­stant de­ve­lo­p­ment of Face­book ch­an­ges the avai­la­bi­li­ty and pro­ces­sing of data so that we can con­ti­nue to en­su­re that we have al­re­a­dy pro­vi­ded fur­ther de­tails. Facebook’s pri­va­cy po­li­cy.
We use this data in ag­gre­ga­ted form to make our posts and ac­ti­vi­ties on our Face­book page more at­trac­ti­ve to users.
We use the dis­tri­bu­ti­on by age and gen­der for a cus­to­mi­sed ap­proach and the pre­fer­red vi­si­ting times of the users for time-op­ti­mi­sed plan­ning of our con­tri­bu­ti­ons.
In­for­ma­ti­on about the type of de­vices used by vi­si­tors helps us to cus­to­mi­se the ap­pearance of our posts ac­cor­din­gly.
In ac­cordance with the Face­book Terms of Use, which every user has agreed to when crea­ting a Face­book pro­fi­le, we can iden­ti­fy sub­scri­bers and fans of the web­site and view their pro­files and other in­for­ma­ti­on shared by them.

User rights
Sin­ce only Face­book has full ac­cess to user data, we re­com­mend that you cont­act Face­book di­rect­ly if you as a user wish to re­quest in­for­ma­ti­on or ask other ques­ti­ons about your rights (e.g. right to era­su­re).
