Cookie policy

SIXT has implemented a variety of technical and organisational measures in order to protect your personal data, in particular against random or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction and access by unauthorised persons. These security measures will be continually adapted in accordance with technological developments. The transfer of personal data between your computer and our server invariably takes place by encrypted connection (Secure Socket Layer (SSL)).

Cookies

Visits to our website may result in information being stored on your computer in the form of “Cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are copied from a web server onto your hard disk. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server within the domain in which the cookie was assigned to you. Cookies cannot execute any programmes or infect your computer with viruses. The cookies used by us neither contain personal data nor are they connected to any such data. Most of the cookies used by us are so-called session cookies, which are required in order to maintain consistency during your visit, for example by ensuring that the preferences you entered when making your reservation request, as well as any other information entered, are remembered for the duration of your session. We also need session cookies in order to ensure that any offers (e.g., promotional offers) you click on are assigned to your request. Session cookies are automatically deleted after each session. We furthermore use cookies in order to determine, when you pay return visits to our website, whether you are interested in certain types of offers. This enables us to be more targeted about the offers we show you on our website. If you are already registered with us and have a candidate account, it will be possible for us to compare the information recorded by the cookies used with the information known to us. This in turn enables us to tune our offers more finely to your needs and wishes. These cookies have a lifespan of one year, after which they are automatically deleted. We also need cookies for purposes of settling accounts with our advertising partners, because cookies are able to record the page or promotional campaign that led the candidate to us. As with other data, we record this data exclusively in abstract form so as to ensure that it cannot be used to identify the data subject. A cookie of this type has a lifespan of 31 days. You have the opportunity to accept or to reject cookies. Most web browsers accept cookies automatically. Generally, however, you will be able to adjust your browser settings so as to reject cookies. If you opt to reject cookies, you may find that you are unable to use some of the website’s functions. If you accept cookies, you can opt to delete such accepted cookies at a later point in time. You can delete cookies in Internet Explorer 8 by selecting “Tools” > “Delete Browsing History” and then clicking on the button “Delete Cookies”. If you delete the cookies, all settings controlled by these cookies, including advertising settings, will be deleted, possibly irrecoverably.

 

Use of Google Analytics (this text is provided by Google, Inc)

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer to help the website analyse how you use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

Under https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB you will find instructions for deactivating Google Analytics Services.

 

Use of Google Tag Manager

The platform uses the Google Tag Manager. This service helps to manage website tags all on one user interface. The Google Tag Manager only implements tags, meaning that no cookies are used and no personal data are recorded. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags that might, in turn, record data, but the Google Tag Manager does not access these data. Any deacti-vation in the settings at domain or cookie level remains in place for all tracking tags, provided they were implemented with the Google Tag Manager.

For this, cookies are stored on the respective user’s computer; these contain a multiple-digit identification number. If you do not agree with having your user behaviour analysed, you can adjust your browsers settings so as to prevent analysis cookies from being set. Please note, however, that this may prevent you from being able to use in full all the functions of this website. The search engine program Google AdWords, provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; Google), facilitates the systematic display on our website of advertising based on Google search terms.

You can also delete the Google conversion cookie in your browser’s cookie settings. This website uses Google Remarketing on the basis of Doubleclick, another Google Inc service, to display interest-based advertising. The process of reviewing the pages shown and of allocating adverts is based on a pseudonymous identification number in the Doubleclick cookie. The cookie-generated information about the pages shown is then transferred to and stored on Google servers for evaluation purposes.

Facebook Social Plugins

The website http://www.sixt.jobs contains so-called Social Plugins (e.g. “Like” buttons) of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). Whenever you interact with the plugins, for instance by clicking a “Like” button, you–as a registered Facebook user can automatically leave a note in your Facebook profile to inform your network that you like the contents of the website you visited. In this respect, our websites enable continuous exchange of information with Facebook. Please note that data is exchanged and linked as soon as you access our website and does not need to be triggered by activating the social plugin/“Like” button and does not depend on you being logged into Facebook. If you do not wish Facebook to prepare a personal geo location profile, you need to log out of Facebook. It does not suffice to just shut down the Facebook site. Please go to http://www.facebook.com/policy.php for more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as your related rights and setting options to protect your privacy.

 

Use of the Facebook Custom Audience service based on Facebook pixels

Our website uses the so-called Facebook pixel created by the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, if you are resident in the EU, by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). This tool serves to present users of our website with advertising (“Face-book ads”) that matches their interests during their visits to Facebook. In this way we ensure that our Facebook ads correspond with the interests of the respective users and are therefore not perceived as a nuisance. We also use the Facebook pixel to track how many users click on our Facebook ads. This enables us to assess the effectiveness of those ads, which is useful for statistical and market research purposes. The Facebook pixel is activated by Facebook as soon as you open our website. It can store so-called cookies on your computer. If you log into Facebook after visiting our website, or visit Facebook while still logged in, then Facebook will assign this information to your personal Facebook account. The data recorded about you in no way allows us to draw inferences regarding your identity as a user. The collection and processing of the data by Facebook complies with the provisions of the Facebook Data Policy. For more information in this respect, please go to : https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy . You can, at any time, object to the recording of data by the Facebook pixel and the use of your data to present Facebook ads. To do so, please visit the page specially set up by Facebook for this purpose (when there, see the settings for use-based advertising), while you are still logged in to Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/settings . The settings are platform-independent, meaning that they will be assumed for all devices, whether desktop computers or mobile devices. Another way of preventing your data from being recorded when you visit our website via your selected browser is available here: Deactivate Facebook pixel
