4. Cookies
We use cookies on our site. These are small files automatically created by your browser and stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone etc.) when you visit our site. Cookies do not harm your end device, and do not contain any viruses, trojans or other malware.
The cookie stores information produced in relation to each specific end device used. But this does not mean we are directly able to identify you. On the one hand, cookies are used to enhance your user experience on our website. As such, we use 'session cookies' to see that you have already visited certain pages of our website, e.g. to log in internally to order a press kit or to display the info banner. These cookies are automatically erased once you leave our site.
We also use temporary cookies, which are stored on your end device for a set period of time, to optimise user-friendliness. If you visit our site again to use our services, it will automatically detect that you have previously visited us and will know which data you have entered and which settings you have configured, so that you do not have to re-enter them.
On the other hand, we use cookies to compile statistics on our website usage and to analyse these in order to optimise our site for you (see section 5). These cookies enable to automatically detect that you have previously visited us if you access our site again. They are automatically erased after a set period of time. The data processed by cookies is required for the aforementioned purposes in order to protect our and third parties' legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 f GDPR.

While most browsers accept cookies automatically, you can configure your browser in such a way that no cookies are stored on your computer or that a notification always appears before a new cookie is created. Completely disabling cookies can, however, mean you are unable to use all the functions of our website.

5. Analysis tools
Tracking tools
The tracking measures used by us and listed below are taken based on Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 f GDPR. We use these tracking measures as a means of ensuring an appropriate design and ongoing optimisation of our website. On the other hand, we use them to compile statistics on our website usage and to analyse these in order to optimise our site for you. These interests are considered legitimate under the aforementioned regulation.
The respective data-processing purposes and data categories can be found in the relevant tracking tools.

Google Analytics
To ensure an appropriate design and ongoing optimisation of our website, we use Google Analytics, a web-analysis service run by Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter known as 'Google'). Pseudonymised usage profiles are created and cookies (see section 4 below) used in this context. The information generated by the cookie in relation to your use of this website, such as
• Browser type/version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL (the site visited immediately prior)
• Host name of accessing computer (IP address)
• Time of server request

is sent to a Google server in the USA, where it is saved. The information is used to analyse website usage, compile reports on website activities and render other services associated with website usage and internet usage for the purposes of market research and ensuring an appropriate design of this website. This information may also be sent to third parties if this is required by law or insofar as third parties are processing this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances is your IP address combined with other Google data. IP addresses are anonymised to ensure it cannot be attributed to you (IP masking). You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; please note, however, that this may mean you are unable to use all the functions of our website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the cookie relating to your use of this website (incl. your IP address) by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). Alternatively, particularly for browsers on mobile end devices, you can also prevent Google Analytics from recording data by clicking on https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. An opt-out cookie will be created, preventing your data from being collected in future when visiting this website. The opt-out cookie only applies to this browser and only to our website. It is stored on your device. If you clear the cookies in this browser, you will have to re-install the opt-out cookie. Further information on privacy in relation to Google Analytics can be found on the Google Analytics Help page (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/
6004245?hl=de).

Newsletter tracking
In order to optimally gear our newsletter around the wishes and interests of our subscribers, we measure the number and time of newsletters opened when sending out our newsletter. This is done by recording the number of images downloaded or links clicked. We also measure the number and time of usage of the linked content in our newsletter. This information is tracked anonymously and does not identify the respective newsletter recipients in any way. It is not possible to attribute the measured opening rate or click rate to specific recipients.

6. Social-media links/plugins
We use social-media links from the social networks Facebook and Twitter on our website based on Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 f GDPR in order to publicise our theatre. The underlying commercial purpose is considered a legitimate interest under the GDPR. The respective provider must be responsible for operating these social-media accounts in accordance with data-protection regulations.

a) Facebook
Our website uses social-media plugins from Facebook to personalise the user experience. We use the 'LIKE' or 'SHARE' button for this. These are services run by Facebook.
If you visit a page of our website containing one of these plugins, your browser establishes a direct connection with Facebook's servers. Facebook sends the plugin content directly to your browser, which integrates them into the website. Integration of the plugin informs Facebook that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is sent directly by your browser to a Facebook server in the USA, where it is saved. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can directly attribute your visit on our website to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, e.g. by clicking the 'LIKE' or 'SHARE' button, the relevant information is also sent directly to a Facebook server, where it is saved. The information is also published on Facebook and shown to your Facebook friends.
Facebook can use this information for the purposes of advertising, market research and customising the design of Facebook pages. To do this, it compiles usage, interest and relationship profiles, e.g. to analyse your use of our website in terms of the advertising shown to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website, and to render other services associated with Facebook usage. If you do not want Facebook to attribute the data collected on our website to your Facebook account, you will need to log out of Facebook before visiting our website. For more information on the purpose and scope of the data-processing, the further processing and usage of the data by Facebook, your rights regarding this, and settings options to protect your privacy, please see Facebook's privacy policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

b)
Plugins from the microblogging network Twitter Inc. (Twitter) are integrated into our website. The Twitter plugins (Tweet button) can be recognised by the Twitter logo on our site. An overview of Tweet buttons is available here (https://about.twitter.com/resources/buttons). If you access a page of our website containing one of these plugins, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Twitter server. This informs Twitter that you have visited our site using your IP address. If you click the Twitter 'Tweet button' while logged in to your Twitter account, you can link our site content to your Twitter profile. This enables Twitter to attribute your visit on our site to your user account. Please note that, as the site provider, we are not privy to the content of the data sent or how it is used by Twitter. If you do not want Twitter to attribute your visit on our site to your Twitter account, please log out of your Twitter account. Further information on this can be found in Twitter's privacy statement (https://twitter.com/privacy).

If your personal data is processed based on legitimate interests as per Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 f GDPR, you have the right, under Art. 21 GDPR, to lodge an objection to the processing of your personal data, insofar as there are grounds for this relating to your particular situation or the objection is to direct marketing. In the latter case, you have a general right to object without having to cite a particular situation. If you wish to exercise your right of revocation or objection, simply email info@staatsoperette.de

9. Data security
During website visits, we use the widespread SSL (Secure Socket Layer) process, combined with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. This is generally 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we instead use 128-bit v3 technology. You will know whether a page of our website is encrypted if you see a locked key or a lock symbol in the status bar at the bottom of your browser. We also use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or deliberate tampering, partial or full loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are constantly being improved in keeping with technological developments.
