The legal basis is our overriding legitimate interest in the fault-free functioning of our Lamy websites in accordance with Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. This personal data is deleted by us at the latest after 30 days. You can find further information in our cookie banner under "Cookie details".

You can find further information in our cookie banner under "Cookie details".

 

Analytics Cookies

Analysis cookies collect information about how you use websites. Thereby, their attractiveness, content and functionality should be improved. The following information, for example, is collected for this purpose

  • the number of visits to a page or sub-pages,
  • the amount of time spent on the website,
  •  the sequence of the pages visited,
  • which search terms brought you to us,
  • the country, region and city from which access is made,

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies help us to analyse our advertising campaigns with our advertising partners and build a profile of your interests in order to show you relevant and targeted advertising on other websites. These are so-called third party cookies and they are placed by our advertising partners when you visit our Lamy websites. The legal basis for the placement of marketing cookies is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR. This personal data is deleted by us at the latest after 90 days.

Use of Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our Lamy websites. Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google LLC. The responsible service provider in the EU is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited hereinafter referred to as "Google").

 

Type of data processing

Google Analytics sets cookies to perform an analysis of your use of the Lamy websites. Google Analytics receives the following information about you:

  • Online tags including cookie tags,
  • IP addresses,
  • device IDs and
  • tags assigned by you.

For example, we receive the following information:

  • The number of accesses to certain pages within the website (so-called click path),

  • Information on the regional origin of the users (e.g. sorted by city or country of origin) and
  • Information about the conversion rate ofcertain sub-pages.

The Lamy websites use Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()" (so-called IP masking). This causes IP addresses within member states of the European Union are shortened before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and then shortened there.

On behalf of Lamy, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

 

Legal basis for the processing of data

The information collected in this way is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and then stored there. There is no adequacy decision for the USA pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, as the USA cannot provide protection of personal data comparable to that of the GDPR. Access by US authorities to the data stored by Google cannot be ruled out. We have agreed standard contractual terms with Google, which serve as a guarantee for adequate protection of your data. The standard contractual terms are available at https://workspace.google.com/terms/mcc_terms.html.

This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our websites, it may no longer be possible to use all the functions of the websites to their full extent.

The responsible service provider in the EU is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited hereinafter referred to as "Google").

 

Type of data processing

We use the tracking tool offered by Google Ads. A so-called conversion occurs when you click on one of our Google Ads and subsequently interact in some way with us, for example by making a purchase or signing up for our newsletter. This allows us to see which keywords, ads and campaigns trigger customer actions. Conversion tracking allows us to evaluate and optimise the success of our advertising measures.

The Google Ads tracking tool uses cookies for this purpose. As soon as you click on one of Lamy's Google Ads and thereby reach one of our Lamy web pages, Google Ads stores a cookie. This cookie allows Google Ads to recognise your web browser.  When you visit our Lamy websites and the conversion cookie has not yet expired, Google and ourselves will recognise that you have clicked on a Google Ads ad from Lamy and were thereby redirected to one of the Lamy websites. The cookie with the conversion data is read by Google and statistical evaluations are provided to us by Google. We ourselves do not collect any personal data. We have no influence as to how Google uses the data. Google states that it takes care to maintain the confidentiality and security of conversion data.

We receive the following information through conversion cookies:

  • Unique Cookie ID,
  • number of ad impressions per placement (frequency),
  • last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and
  • opt-out information (marking that you no longer wish to be contacted).

Google Maps allows us to show you the locations of our dealers on our Lamy websites. In order to integrate Google Maps on our Lamy websites in a data-saving manner, we use the so-called two-click solution. When you visit our Lamy websites, this two-click solution prevents Google Maps from transferring your data to Google. Only when you click on a Google Maps map on our Lamy website and activate it will data be transferred to Google with your consent. Google Maps then collects information about your browser, the device type, operating system, IP address and the date and time of the request, etc.

The Lamy website also offers you the possibility to search for dealers in your area. For this purpose, you can independently enter an address, a place or a country in the search bar.

Clicking the button will then transmit your current location to Google with your consent, in addition to the data mentioned above.
