Automatically collected information
Web Server Logs: A web server log is a log file of activities performed by the users on our website that is created and maintained by a server.
IP Address: An IP address is a number assigned to your computer or router whenever you access the Internet that allows your devices and servers to recognise and communicate with each other. We store the IP address transmitted by your web browser for a period of seven days in order to detect, limit and eliminate faults or errors (e.g. attacks on our servers). After this period has expired, we delete or anonymise the IP address. We use the IP address exclusively for the above-mentioned security purposes
Cookies: Cookies are small files that are stored on a visitor's device. They allow information to be stored for a certain period of time and can be used to identify the visitor's computer. So-called session cookies are used to control your visit of our site, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser. You can set up your browser so that it informs you about the placement of cookies. This makes the use of cookies transparent for you
In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on Heidemann Recycling websites or landing pages. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in the email messages. The data will help us improve and better customise our future marketing communications and/or prioritise follow-ups.

- the page from which the file was requested
- the name of the file
- the date and time of the query
- the amount of data transferred
- the access status (file transferred, file not found)
- the description of the type of web browser used

These videos are included in YouTube's "Advanced Privacy Mode", whereby according to YouTube no information about website visitors is stored as long as the video is not played. If you play the video, you agree that the data will be processed by YouTube as the responsible party and that this processing cannot be influenced any further by us.
