4 Use of Cookies
4.1 General Information
Cookies are data that are stored on your computer by a website you visit and allow your browser to be re-identified. Through cookies, information is transmitted to the entity that sets the cookie. Cookies can store various information, such as your language settings, the duration of your visit to our website, or your inputs made there. This avoids, for example, having to re-enter required form data each time you use it. The information stored in cookies can also be used to recognize preferences and align content according to areas of interest.
There are different types of cookies: Session cookies are amounts of data that are only temporarily kept in the working memory and deleted when you close your browser. Permanent or persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a predetermined duration, which can vary depending on the cookie. The information can also be stored in text files on your computer with this type of cookie. However, you can also delete these cookies at any time via your browser settings.
First-party cookies are set by the website you are currently visiting. Only this website is allowed to read information from these cookies. Third-party cookies are set by organizations that are not the operator of the website you are visiting. These cookies are used, for example, by marketing companies.
The legal bases for possible processing of personal data using cookies and their storage duration may vary. If you have given us consent, the legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TDDDG. If data processing is carried out on the basis of our overriding legitimate interests, the legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR and § 25 Para. 2 TDDDG. The stated purpose then corresponds to our legitimate interest.
We use cookies to ensure the proper operation of the website, to provide basic functionalities, to measure reach, and – with your consent – to tailor our services to preferred areas of interest. For this, we use both transient cookies and persistent cookies.

Among other things, we collect data about which website a data subject came from to a website (known as the referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed, or how often and for what length of stay a subpage was viewed. This helps us to design our offers in a user-friendly manner and to improve them. The data collected for this purpose is not used to personally identify individual users.

The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in maintaining and optimizing our digital content.
The data processed by October CMS may be processed by our hosting provider, which provides the infrastructure for our website. There is a data processing agreement with the hosting provider in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, which ensures the protection of your data.
The collected server log files are usually automatically deleted after 6 months, unless there are further legal retention obligations.
10. Processing Your Data as a New and Existing Customer of RIB
When you place an order with us, whether via an order form, by email, telephone, live chat, or in person at one of our exhibition stands, we will include you in our customer file. The scope of the data corresponds to the required data for the specific request, which are marked as such in the respective forms, etc.
Our customer file is maintained uniformly for the entire RIB Group, so your data is also visible to employees of all RIB locations. Your data is maintained in systems from Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, VIS, or RIB 4.0. RIB remains responsible for the processing of your data. Your data will be stored in our customer file until the necessity for processing, including legal retention periods, has expired. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. b) GDPR when we process your data for the execution of an order, and Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. f) GDPR for the further processing of your data as existing customer data. Insofar as we are obliged to legally retain your data (e.g., due to German Commercial Code, tax law, etc.), the legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. c) GDPR.
For customers with an existing business relationship (B2B), we consider you as an existing customer. In this case, we also process your contact and customer data without separate consent to provide you with information about new products and services or about our own similar products and services. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with § 7 Para. 3 UWG. You can object to the use of your data for these purposes at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. To do this, you can either use the unsubscribe link in the corresponding emails or alternatively send us an email to the contact details mentioned under 1.
11. Salesforce Marketing Cloud
Data that you provide to us through some of our websites (e.g., in forms for purchases, newsletter registration, contact, and the fact that you participate in a contest) will be stored in the Salesforce Sales Cloud of salesforce.com, Salesforce Tower Dublin, 60 R801, North Dock, Dublin, Ireland, currently on servers in the EU, and used for sending order confirmations and shipping notifications. The parent company of salesforce.com Ireland is salesforce.com Inc., One Market Street, Suite 300, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA.
For sending our newsletters, for automated mailings (e.g., welcome mailing), and for advertising campaigns on social networks, we use the Salesforce Marketing Cloud. For this purpose, the newsletter subscriber’s data is transferred from the Salescloud to the Marketing Cloud.
The data in the Salesforce Marketing Cloud is stored and processed on Salesforce servers in the USA. For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with European data protection standards based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission. Further documents on Salesforce’s compliance with the EU GDPR can be found at https://compliance.salesforce.com/en/gdpr.
Data collection and storage only takes place after explicit consent according to § 25 Para. 1 TDDDG, Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR. This consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
Using so-called web beacons and pixels, we receive information about users’ clicking behavior through the Marketing Cloud. Interaction data is stored directly on the user in the Marketing Cloud so that we can target advertising more specifically, e.g., via social networks, through the Ad Studio. If you do not want this, you have the option to turn off personalized ads in your account settings on the social networks. Additionally, you can use a different email address for newsletters or your customer account with us than the one you use for your social media accounts. Further information about opting out can be found under “Use of Cookies”.
For more information about data processing by Salesforce, please visit: https://www.salesforce.com/de/company/privacy/.
12. Inxmail Email Marketing
For sending newsletters for RIB eVergabe & RIB Tender platforms and the RIB service customer newsletter, we use the Inxmail service from Inxmail GmbH, Wentzingerstr. 17, 79106 Freiburg, Germany.
Inxmail is a service that can organize and analyze newsletter distribution, among other things. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter is stored on Inxmail’s servers. We process the following personal data:
• First and last name
• Email address
• Service number
When we send newsletters with Inxmail, we can determine whether and when a newsletter message was opened and which links were clicked, if any. For this purpose, Inxmail stores an anonymized form of the IP address, which serves exclusively as a technical requirement for the counting process. This identifier is not visible in the statistics and does not allow any inference to personal data.
This data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. The lawfulness of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation. If you do not want analysis by Inxmail, you must therefore unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message.
The recipient data stored on the Inxmail server for newsletter subscriptions is retained for audit purposes during the contract term due to the obligation to provide evidence and is deleted 30 days after termination of the contract with Inxmail. The customer data stored in the RIB CRM remains stored until the necessity for processing, including legal retention periods, has expired (see section 10).
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with Inxmail in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, in which we obligate Inxmail to protect the data of our newsletter recipients and not to pass it on to third parties.
For more information, please refer to Inxmail’s privacy policy at: https://www.inxmail.de/de/datenschutz/.
13. Google Analytics
13.1 Google Analytics
If you have given your consent, Google Analytics is used on this website, a web analysis service from Google LLC. The responsible entity for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).
13.2 Scope of Processing
Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of our websites. The information collected by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
We use the User ID function. Using the User ID, we can assign a unique, permanent ID to one or more sessions (and the activities within these sessions) and analyze user behavior across devices.
We use Google Signals. This allows additional information about users who have enabled personalized ads (interests and demographic data) to be collected in Google Analytics, and ads can be delivered to these users in cross-device remarketing campaigns.
In Google Analytics 4, IP address anonymization is enabled by default. Due to IP anonymization, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
• During your website visit, your user behavior is recorded in the form of “events”. Events can be: • Page views • First visit to the website • Session start • Your “click path”, interaction with the website • Scrolls (whenever a user scrolls to the end of the page (90%)) • Clicks on external links • Internal search queries • Interaction with videos • Seen / clicked advertisements
In addition, the following is recorded: • Your approximate location (region) • Your IP address (in shortened form) • Technical information about your browser and the end devices you use (e.g., language setting, screen resolution) • Your internet provider • The referrer URL (which website/advertising medium you came to this website from)
13.3 Purposes of Processing
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website and to compile reports on website activities. The reports provided by Google Analytics serve to analyze the performance of our website.
13.4 Recipients
Recipients of the data are/may be: • Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (as data processor according to Art. 28 GDPR) • Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA • Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA
It cannot be ruled out that US authorities may access the data stored by Google.
13.5 Third Country Transfer
Insofar as data is processed outside the EU/EEA and there is no data protection level corresponding to the European standard, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to establish an adequate level of data protection. The parent company of Google Ireland, Google LLC, is headquartered in California, USA. A transfer of data to the USA and access by US authorities to the data stored by Google cannot be ruled out. The USA is currently considered a third country from a data protection perspective. You do not have the same rights there as within the EU/EEA. You may not have any legal remedies against access by authorities.
13.6 Storage Duration
The data sent by us and linked to cookies will be automatically deleted after 2 OR 14 months. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached occurs automatically once a month.
13.7 Legal Basis
The legal basis for this data processing is your consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
13.8 Revocation
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by accessing the cookie settings HERE and changing your selection there. The lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent until revocation remains unaffected.
Alternatively, you can prevent the storage of cookies from the outset by configuring your browser software accordingly. However, if you configure your browser to reject all cookies, functionality on this and other websites may be limited. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by:
a. not giving your consent to the setting of the cookie, or b. downloading and installing the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics HERE.
For more information on Google Analytics’ terms of use and Google’s privacy policy, please visit https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/ and https://policies.google.com/?hl=de.
14. Google Ads Conversion Tracking
We use the Google Ads service. Google Ads is an online advertising program from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).
This means we run Google Ads advertisements and also use Google Remarketing and Conversion Tracking. The ads are displayed after search queries on websites in the Google advertising network. We also use Ads remarketing lists for search ads. This allows us to adapt search ad campaigns for users who have already visited our website. Through these services, we have the option to combine our ads with certain search terms or to display ads for previous visitors, in which, for example, services are advertised that the visitors have viewed on our website. We can therefore show interest-based advertising to users of our website on other websites within the Google advertising network (as “Google ads” in Google search or on other websites).
Interest-related offers require an analysis of online user behavior. Google uses cookies to conduct this analysis. When clicking on an ad or visiting our website, a cookie is set on the user’s computer by Google. These cookies have different durations depending on their type; more information can be found here: https://business.safety.google/adscookies/. The information collected by the respective cookie is used to target the visitor specifically during a later search query. Further information on the cookie technology used can also be found in Google’s information on website statistics and in the privacy policy. With the help of this technology, Google and we as the customer receive information that a user has clicked on an ad and was redirected to our websites. The information obtained in this way is used exclusively for statistical evaluation for ad optimization. We do not receive any information that allows visitors to be personally identified. Your IP address is transferred to Google, but since we use Google’s IP masking on this website as part of Google Analytics, your IP address is anonymized. The statistics provided to us by Google include the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and, if applicable, whether they were redirected to a page of our website tagged with a conversion tag. Using these statistics, we can track which search terms our ad was clicked on most frequently and which ads lead to the user contacting us via the contact form.
For more information about data protection within Google Ads, please visit: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de.
If you do not want the processing, you can prevent the storing of cookies required for these technologies, e.g., via your browser settings. In this case, your visit will not be included in the user statistics.
You also have the option to select the types of Google ads via the ad settings (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated?hl=de) or to deactivate interest-based ads on Google. Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers by accessing the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out tool.
However, we and Google will continue to receive the statistical information about how many users visited this page and when. If you do not want to be included in this statistic either, you can prevent this with the help of additional programs for your browser (e.g., the Privacy Badger add-on).
The legal basis for this data processing is your consent, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by accessing the cookie settings in our Consent Management Platform (“Cookie Settings” at the bottom of the page) and changing your selection there.
15. Meta Conversion Tracking
We use the Custom Audiences service from Meta Platforms, Inc., 1601 S. California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (hereinafter referred to as “Facebook”) as part of usage-based online advertising. For this purpose, we define target groups of users in the Facebook Ad Manager based on certain characteristics, who then receive advertisements within the Facebook network. The users are selected by Facebook based on the profile information they have provided and other data provided through the use of Facebook. If a user clicks on an advertisement and subsequently reaches our website, Facebook receives information via the Facebook pixel integrated on our website that the user has clicked on the advertising banner.
In principle, a non-reversible and non-personal checksum (hash value) is generated from your usage data, which is transmitted to Facebook for analysis and marketing purposes. A Facebook cookie is set. This collects information about your activities on our website (e.g., browsing behavior, visited subpages, etc.). Your IP address is also stored and used for geographical targeting of advertising.
We do not use Facebook Custom Audiences via the customer list or the “enhanced matching” function.
For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your setting options to protect your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy. You can make settings about which advertisements are displayed to you on Facebook in your Facebook account settings.
You can prevent data collection by the Facebook pixel by opening the privacy settings below (“Cookie Settings”) and making the corresponding changes there.
An opt-out cookie (persistent HTML5 storage object) is set that prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website.
You can also prevent the storage of cookies in general by configuring your browser software accordingly. However, we point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of our website to their full extent. Further options for deactivating cookies by third-party providers can be found at www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp or on the Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out platform at http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=en.
16. LinkedIn Conversion Tracking
If you have given your consent, we use the online marketing tool LinkedIn Ads. The responsible service provider in the EU is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
For this purpose, we define target groups of users in the LinkedIn Campaign Manager based on certain characteristics, who subsequently receive advertisements within the LinkedIn network. The users are selected by LinkedIn based on the profile information they have provided, as well as other data provided during the use of LinkedIn. If a user clicks on an advertisement and subsequently arrives on our website, LinkedIn receives information through the Conversion Tag integrated on our website that the user has clicked on the advertising banner.
The LinkedIn Tag thus enables the capture of visited websites, including the URL, referrer ID, IP address, device and browser properties, and timestamp. IP addresses are truncated by LinkedIn or (for cross-device use) hashed.
With the help of the LinkedIn Pixel, we can show personalized ads outside our website without identifying individual members. Data that does not identify you is also used to improve ad relevance and reach LinkedIn members across different devices. LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes through their account settings. LinkedIn refers to the following link to adjust advertising preferences: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/advertising/actions-that-showed-interest.
We process this data to evaluate our advertising campaigns. Further information about the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by LinkedIn, as well as your settings options to protect your privacy, can also be found in LinkedIn’s privacy policy.
Further information on LinkedIn Conversion Tracking can be found at: https://business.linkedin.com/de-de/marketing-solutions/conversion-tracking.
Further information on data processing and storage duration can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/65521?lang=de.
The legal basis for this data processing is your consent, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by opening the privacy settings below (“Cookie Settings”) and making the corresponding changes there.
17. Google Tag Manager
For reasons of transparency, we would like to inform you that we use Google Tag Manager. This is a tag management system for managing JavaScript and HTML tags, which is used for implementing tracking and analysis tools. It is a service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The controller in the EU/EEA is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The Google Tag Manager itself does not collect any personal data. The Tag Manager makes it easier for us to integrate and manage our tags. Tags are small code elements that, among other things, serve to measure traffic and visitor behavior, capture the impact of online advertising and social channels, set up remarketing and targeting audiences, and test and optimize websites. If you have opted out, this opt-out will be respected by the Google Tag Manager.
Recipients of the data are:
Google Ireland Limited, EU,
Google LLC, USA,
Alphabet Inc., USA.
This service may process data outside the European Union and the European Economic Area (EEA) and transfer it to a country that does not offer an adequate level of data protection. If the data is transferred to the USA, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and surveillance purposes without you having legal remedies.
The legal basis for this data processing is your consent, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by accessing the cookie settings in our Consent Management Platform (“Cookie Settings” at the bottom of the page) and changing your selection there. The lawfulness of the data processing until the withdrawal remains unaffected.
For more information about Google Tag Manager, please visit: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.
18. Google Web Fonts (Offline Version)
This page uses web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to correctly display texts and fonts. We have decided to use the offline version, where Google Fonts are stored locally on our web server. The management of the fonts is then – via CSS – possible as with any other font family.

You can prevent the storage of cookies and fingerprinting by selecting appropriate technical settings in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.
