IV. Provision of the website and log files
1. Description and scope of data processing
Every time you visit our website, you transmit data to our web server via your internet browser (for technical reasons). Whilst a connection is active for communication purposes, our system automatically records information from the system of the user’s computer or end device.
We collect the following data in this process:
- Information about the web browser and the version used
- the operating system of the user’s device
- the user’s internet service provider
- the user’s IP address
- the previous website from which the user accessed our website (known as the referrer URL)
- Date and time of the access request
- Name of the file requested
- Amount of data transferred
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of this data and the log files is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interests of us as the website operator).
3. Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the user’s IP address by our system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. To this end, the user’s IP address must necessarily be stored for the duration of the session. The above-mentioned data is stored in the log files to ensure the functionality of our website. Furthermore, we use this data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our IT systems (e.g. for attack detection). The data is not analysed for marketing purposes in this context.
4. Duration of storage
The data mentioned above is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collected for the purpose of providing the website, this is the case once the respective session has ended. In the case of data stored in log files, this is the case after 60 days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, we will delete or anonymise the user’s IP address so that it is no longer possible to identify the client making the request and the data contained therein no longer relates to any specific individual.
V. Contact form and email contact
1. Description and scope of data processing
You can contact us via our contact form and the email address provided: mail@koffer24.de. In this case, the personal data of the sender – i.e. the user – transmitted with the enquiry will be stored. The sender’s first name, surname and email address are defined as mandatory fields. Other form fields are optional.
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for processing this data, which is transmitted when an enquiry is sent, is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interests of us as the data controller). If the enquiry is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (performance of a contract).
3. Purpose of data processing
We process this personal data solely for the purpose of handling your enquiry.
4. Duration of storage
The data mentioned above will be erased as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data sent by email or via the contact form, this is the case once the relevant conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is deemed to have ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved.
5. Right to object
The user may object to the processing of their data at any time. The objection must be sent to the following email address: datenschutz@koffer24.de. In this case, all personal data stored in the course of the contact will be deleted.
VI. Search
1. Description and scope of data processing
We aim to continuously improve our search function. For this reason, in compliance with legal guidelines, we process pseudonymised usage data, which enables us to determine at a later date whether our users were able to navigate our online portal effectively and where improvements can be made.
2. Legal basis
The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
3. Categories and sources of personal data
Our search function automatically collects usage data, such as search queries, IP addresses and anonymous web browser data.
4. Duration of storage
We generally store the pseudonymised usage data relating to the Koffer24 GmbH search for 7 days, up to a maximum of 21 days.
5. Transfer to third parties or abroad
The Koffer24 GmbH search function only accesses internal company data stored on a server located in Germany. No data is transferred abroad in connection with the search function.
VII. Use of cookies
Our website uses cookies.
1. Description and scope of data processing
When you visit individual pages on our website, so-called “session cookies” are used to facilitate navigation.
Cookies are small text files that are stored in your computer’s browser directory and enable recognition, but do not allow for your personal identification. They serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure.
Example:
- Tracking your movements on the website
- To help you pick up where you left off when you left a page
- Remembering your login details
- Setting your preferences and other personalisation features
“Session cookies” therefore do not contain any personal data.
2. Legal basis
The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
3. Purpose of the data processing
The purpose is to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions requested by you (e.g. the shopping basket function).
Furthermore, a cookie is required for web analytics (using IP addresses that have been anonymised beforehand). This means that, as the operator, we can use the cookie file to track your movements on our website and obtain information that you may have voluntarily provided during your visit. The use of cookies is necessary to fulfil our legitimate interests in ensuring the technically fault-free and optimised provision of our services.
Where other cookies (e.g. cookies used to analyse your browsing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy
4. Preventing the storage of cookies
You can generally prevent cookies from being stored on your hard drive by selecting ‘do not accept cookies’ in your browser settings. You can also set your browser to ask for your consent before cookies are set. Finally, you can delete cookies that have already been set at any time.
For instructions on how to do this, please refer to your browser manufacturer’s documentation or the following guide: www.meine-cookies.org/cookies_verwalten/index.html
If you do not accept cookies, this may, in some cases, lead to restrictions on the website’s functionality.
5. Duration
“Session cookies” expire at the end of the session, i.e. they are automatically deleted once you have finished your visit.
Other cookies, known as persistent cookies, remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit. They remain valid for our website for 12 months and are automatically deleted upon expiry.
VIII. Technologies used
Google Analytics
1. Description and scope of data processing
We use the Google Analytics tracking tool on our website.
In Google Analytics, user interactions on our website are primarily recorded and systematically analysed using cookies. When specific sections of our website are accessed, the following data is stored:
- three bytes of the IP address of the user’s accessing system (anonymised IP address),
- the webpage accessed,
- the website from which the user accessed the page on our website,
- the sub-pages accessed from the page visited,
- the length of time spent on the website,
- the frequency with which the website is visited
The software is configured in such a way that IP addresses are not stored in full; instead, the last octet of the IP address is masked (e.g. 192.168.79.***). In this way, it is no longer possible to link the truncated IP address to the user’s computer or end device.
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of users’ personal data is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR (consent).
3. Purpose of data processing
Processing users’ personal data using Google Analytics enables us to analyse our users’ browsing behaviour. By analysing the data obtained, we are able to compile information on the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to continuously improve our website and its user-friendliness.
4. Duration of storage
The data stored through tracking is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our record-keeping purposes. In our case, this occurs after twelve months. The processing of the user’s personal data using Google Analytics enables us to analyse our users’ browsing behaviour. By analysing the data collected, we are able to compile information on the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to continuously improve our website and its user-friendliness.
5. Right to object
By using a browser add-on to disable Google Analytics JavaScripts (ga.js, analytics.js, dc.js), the user can prevent Google Analytics from using their data on our website. If a user wishes to disable Google Analytics, they can download and install the add-on for their web browser. The add-on for disabling Google Analytics is compatible with the current versions of Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox and Opera. For the add-on to work, it must be loaded and run correctly in the browser. For Internet Explorer, third-party cookies must also be enabled. Interested users can find further information at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
FAST Tracking
1. General scope and description of data processing
We use FAST to correctly attribute the success of an advertising medium. The data is automatically deleted after 90 days. No profiling takes place. FAST uses a unique key that third parties cannot associate with users, meaning users cannot be traced. Personalised advertising is not possible with FAST.
FAST establishes a link between a click on an advertising medium – for example, an advert – and an action – for example, a purchase or a sign-up or registration.
The information transmitted to us is used exclusively for the purpose of correctly attributing the success of an advertising medium and for the corresponding billing.
FAST does not store any cookies or cookie-like data on your device.
When generating the device fingerprint, only non-personal parameters are aggregated (browser settings, time zone, CPU class, colour depth, browser language, etc.).
2. Scope and description of data processing when using Google Ads / Microsoft Ads
In the case of a promotion, the order number and the value of the shopping basket are usually also transmitted and stored by us for 90 days. Personal data such as name, telephone number or address is expressly not collected or stored.
In addition, the following values may be transmitted:
- ID (sequential number)
- ClickID
- Time of purchase
- Currency
- Conversion name (online shop order or lead)
Device fingerprint processing takes place on the respective customer’s server. Where integration is carried out via Google Tag Manager, device fingerprint processing takes place via the Smarketer Host-Europe server in Strasbourg.
Thanks to high security standards, such as an HTTPS connection, the conversion data is transmitted to our HOST-Europe server located in Strasbourg. The export file is transferred and the data (ClickID, conversion name, timestamp, order value, currency) is processed via Google Ads / Microsoft Ads on a US server.
The software is configured so that no profiling takes place.
3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for the processing of the user’s data is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
4. Purposes of processing
The information transmitted to us serves exclusively to correctly attribute the success of an advertising campaign and to facilitate the corresponding billing, and is justified on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
5. Duration of storage
The data subject to the processing described here will be automatically deleted after a maximum storage period of 90 days.

6. Right to object and opt-out
You can prevent tracking by deactivating FAST tracking via an opt-out link on the relevant page.
IX. Data security
We protect our website and other systems against the loss, destruction, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure of your data by unauthorised persons through technical and organisational measures. In particular, your personal data is transmitted in encrypted form. We use the widely adopted SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol during your visit to the website. Unfortunately, however, the transmission of information over the internet is not entirely secure, which is why we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to our website via the internet.
X. No automated decision-making (including profiling)
We do not use fully automated decision-making in accordance with Article 22 of the GDPR to establish or carry out our business relationship with you, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
XI. No disclosure of data
We do not disclose your personal data to third parties unless you have consented to such disclosure or we are entitled or obliged to do so on the basis of statutory provisions and/or official or court orders. This may, in particular, involve the disclosure of information for the purposes of criminal prosecution, to avert danger or to enforce intellectual property rights.
