Session Cookies
While you are using a website, a session cookie is temporarily stored in your computer’s memory; this is effected via a session ID being stored so that you do not have to log in again every time you change page for example. Session cookies are deleted when you log off or expire as soon as your session ends automatically.
Permanent or persistent cookies
A permanent or persistent cookie stores a file on your computer for a fixed period of time until its expiration date. Using these cookies, websites remember your information and settings on your next visit. This makes access to the websites faster and more user-friendly, for example because you do not have to configure your language setting for our portal again. When the expiration date is reached, the cookie is deleted automatically when you visit the website that generated it.

This website integrates the Google Maps map service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4 Ireland, (hereinafter “Google”). The integration of Google Maps establishes a direct connection to the Google servers and your browser. This enables the provision of the Google Maps map. By integrating and using the Google Maps map, your browser transmits the IP address to Google for independent data processing. In addition, Google is independently responsible for processing the search terms you enter on the Google Maps map and – if you have given your consent – your current location. Furthermore, the Google Maps map also integrate what are known as Google Fonts. These are fonts provided by Google. To display the Google fonts on the Google Maps map, a connection from your browser to the Google server is established as well and your browser transmits your IP address to Google for independent data processing. Find further information on data processing and possible transfers of personal data to third countries (e.g. the USA) by Google in Google’s privacy policy.
The legal basis for the transfer of personal data to Google is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR. Your consent is valid for a period of 12 months and includes all applications on this website that integrate Google Maps (including integrated Google Fonts).
Vimeo

If you call up a page on our website on which a video is embedded via a Vimeo plugin, your browser establishes a connection to the Vimeo servers. This transmits information on which pages you have visited to Vimeo. If you are logged in to Vimeo when you visit our website, Vimeo will also assign this information directly to your personal user account. Interactions with the plugin, for example clicking the start button, are also assigned to your Vimeo account.

Our website uses Adobe Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Republic of Ireland. Adobe Analytics allows us to analyse user behaviour and the flow of visitors. This enables us to create content in line with visitor needs and, moreover, to identify and resolve problems more quickly. For this purpose, Adobe Analytics saves cookies in your browser. By configuring the appropriate settings in Adobe Analytics, we also ensure that the last eight digits of the IP address transmitted to Adobe are removed (replaced by 0) before geolocalisation to prevent clear identification of the IP address and so that it can only be traced back to large geographic areas (regions). Moreover, the IP address is completely removed from the data record after geolocalisation so that no further conclusions can be drawn about the IP address. Adobe processes the collected data and information solely on our behalf. The purpose is to analyse user behaviour and create anonymised reports and statistics. We use the information gained in this way to optimize our website and improve our range of services. The legal basis of data processing is Section 15 (3) of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legitimate interests are the aforementioned purposes. Adobe’s applicable data protection provisions can be found at the Adobe Privacy Center. You can prevent our website’s use of cookies at any time by changing the appropriate setting in your internet browser, thereby permanently opting out of the use of cookies. The Adobe Privacy Center is linked in the text itself: https://www.adobe.com/de/privacy.html
Your personal data will only be used for the purpose for which you have entrusted these data to us.
The legal basis for the use and storage of your personal data is your consent in accordance with Art. 7 of the EU Data Protection Regulation (EU-DSGVO) as well as in accordance with § 13 Para. 2 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG).

By using the features presented, entities located in third countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) may also be able to view your data. In these countries, there may be an insufficient level of data protection due to the lack of an adequacy decision by the EU Commission and the absence of further appropriate safeguards to protect your personal data.
The transfer of your data to these third countries takes place on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 7 EU-DSGVO and § 13 para. 2 TMG, or on the basis of the exceptional circumstances of Art. 49 para. 1 EU-DSGVO, which come into effect through the activation of the corresponding function.
Your data can also be viewed by affiliated companies of MAN and VW Group as well as external service providers who provide and technically operate this website and the related systems. Data protection agreements have been concluded with these companies to ensure a high level of data protection.
Such data will only be passed on to government/state institutions and authorities within the framework of mandatory national legal provisions.
