Standard procedure

Every time a user accesses a page on www.aachen-emotion.com or downloads a file, data pertaining to the transaction is recorded in a log file. This is purely for internal, system-related and statistical purposes. The following data set is recorded for each access/download:

• Name of file accessed/downloaded
• Date and time of access/download
• Volume of data transferred
• Marker showing whether the access/download was successful
• Description of the type of web browser used
• Domain from which enquiry originated

Data provided during user registration (registration of users is not yet enabled) is analysed in anonymous form by the site operator for statistical purposes, albeit only after user approval. No addresses are sold to third parties.

Use of the “HotTracker” web statistics tool (www.hottracker.de)

This website uses the “HotTracker” tool from WiredMinds AG (www.hottracker.de) to collect and process data anonymously for purposes of continuous improvement and analysis of our Internet offering. Anonymous user profiles are generated using pseudonyms. This may involve the use of cookies which also collect and store pseudonymous data. Under no circumstances will data be used for purposes of personal identification of visitors (even if this were to be technically feasible) or associated with the data concerning the bearer of a pseudonym.

Cookies

When you leave our website and arrive at someone else’s site it’s possible that those responsible for the destination website may use “cookies”. Cookies are small text files used, for example, by online forums to store registered users’ access data during a session. Cookies are not programs and therefore cannot cause any damage on your PC.

Aachen City Council accepts no legal responsibility for the use of cookies. For details of how such cookies and the information they contain are used, please compare the relevant sites’ privacy statements.

Non-encrypted e-mails

We ask you to note that when sending a non-encrypted e-mail to Aachen City Council it is impossible to guarantee that the information has not fallen into the hands of unauthorised individuals or been tampered with during transmission.

Use of data only with your permission

Any amendment to this privacy statement will be published at this location. The publisher is aware that you have permitted us to use your personal data for very specific purposes. In the event that Aachen City Council wishes to use your data for purposes other than these, we will ask for your permission to do so. Any change to the way such data is used may therefore only be made with your permission.
