How Dürr Uses Cookies and Tracking on Its Website

Updated

Dürr's website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for two distinct purposes: technically necessary functions (which you cannot disable) and optional functionality, personalization, and marketing (which require your consent). When you first visit, a consent banner asks you to either "Accept everything" or open "Settings" to choose which individual technologies you allow. If you decline the optional categories, the site still works, but some features and integrated third-party tools may not be available.

What the two cookie categories cover

Dürr splits its cookies into two groups, and the distinction determines what you can control.

Essential cookies

These provide basic website functions such as page navigation, language settings, cookie preferences, and access to protected areas. According to the site's own notice, they also ensure the website complies with applicable legal requirements and security standards. Because they are considered essential, you cannot prevent their use on the website.

Functionality and personalization cookies

These collect information about your habits when using the web pages and help Dürr tailor functions and attractiveness based on your previous visits, location, and browser settings. They also enable access to integrated third-party tools — the site names Microsoft Azure for single sign-on authentication as an example.

If you refuse these cookies, the site states you might not be able to access the full functionality of the website.

Third-party providers involved

Dürr cooperates with third-party providers for the optional categories. The site explicitly lists:

  • Salesforce
  • LinkedIn
  • Google
  • Microsoft
  • Piwik PRO

Through these partners, you may also receive advertisements on other websites.

Consent, data transfer, and your rights

When you consent, Dürr's notice states that you also accept certain subsequent processing of your personal data — for example, storage of your IP address in profiles — and that partners may transfer your data to the United States and, if applicable, to further countries. The notice flags a specific risk: that authorities may access the data and that your rights may not be enforceable.

You can change your choices at any time. The banner offers:

  • Accept everything — enables all technologies
  • Only technically necessary cookies — declines the optional categories
  • Settings — activate or deactivate individual technologies one by one

The notice also points to the Privacy Policy for more information, particularly about your rights, including how to withdraw consent.

Practical steps to control what Dürr stores

  1. On your first visit, don't click "Accept everything" by reflex — open Settings instead.
  2. Review each technology listed and toggle off the ones you don't want. Essential cookies stay on regardless.
  3. If you want single sign-on and other integrated tools to work, keep functionality and personalization enabled; otherwise expect reduced functionality.
  4. To revisit your choices later, reopen the cookie settings from the site (the banner references a "Settings" option and a "More information" link for details on each cookie).
  5. For the full picture on data rights and withdrawal, read the Privacy Policy linked in the notice.

What to keep in mind

  • The choice is not all-or-nothing: the Settings panel lets you decide per technology.
  • Declining optional cookies is a functional trade-off, not a broken site — navigation and language settings still work.
  • The data-transfer disclosure (US and further countries) applies specifically to the optional categories you consent to, so it's worth reading before accepting.
