11. Social Media Links
We link to the social media platforms Facebook, Instagram and YouTube on our website by using the respective symbols. These are hyperlinks through which no transmission of your data takes place.

Your data will only be transmitted to the respective social media service if you are logged into your respective user account. In this case, the respective social media platform may obtain information about the content you have viewed from us.


Responsible for the social media services linked by us are exclusively:

for Facebook and its website, Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA;

for Instagram and its website, Instagram, LLC, 1601 Willow Rd. Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA;

We use the "Facebook Connect" service from Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Facebook") on our website. We offer you the option of registering on our website with Facebook Connect if you have a Facebook profile and give us your express consent to exchange data with Facebook. In this case, no additional registration is required. To register, you will be redirected to the Facebook page, where you can register with your usage data. As a result, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers, whereby your Facebook profile and our service are linked. Through this link, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in to Facebook. Depending on your data protection settings on Facebook, we automatically receive the following information from Facebook Inc. through the link (name, e-mail address, date of birth, address, Facebook name, user ID, age, gender and, if applicable, profile picture , the friends list and the likes).

revocation
The consent given to exchange data via Facebook Connect can be revoked at any time for the future by sending an email to: info@cottonbabe.com.


13.Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager service from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94.043 USA on our website. Google Tag Manager allows marketers to manage website tags from one interface. A tag is a marking or marking of a database. However, the Tag Manager itself, which uses the tags, works without cookies and does not record any personal data. The tags set up via the Google Tag Manager only ensure the collection of data that is passed on to the target system. Because the data is only passed on, the system does not collect or save the determined data itself. The Tag Manager thus only triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Corresponding explanations for these respective third-party providers can be found in this data protection declaration. However, the Google Tag Manager does not use this data. If you have set or otherwise deactivated cookies, this will be taken into account for all tracking tags used with the Google Tag Manager, so the tool will not change your cookie settings.

Google may ask your permission to share some product data (e.g. your account information) with other Google products to enable certain features, e.g. B. to make it easier to add new conversion tracking tags for AdWords. In addition, Google's developers periodically review product usage information to further improve the product. However, Google will not pass on any data of this type to other Google products without your consent.

For more information, see the Google Acceptable Use Policy and Google Privacy Notice for this product.


14. Newsletters

(1) With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter, with which we inform you about our current interesting offers. The advertised goods and services are named in the declaration of consent.

(2) We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to register for our newsletter. This means that after you have registered, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within [24 hours], your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we store the IP addresses you use and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to be able to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.

(3) The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. Providing further, separately marked data is voluntary and is used to be able to address you personally. After your confirmation, we will save your e-mail address for the purpose of sending the newsletter. The legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a GDPR.

(4) You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can declare your revocation by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter e-mail, by e-mail to (info@cottonbabe.com) or by sending a message to the contact details given in the imprint.
We use the Klaviyo service from Klaviyo Inc, Boston, USA, to send our newsletter.

For more information on privacy at Klaviyo, visit: http://klaviyo.com/privacy/ .

(5) We would like to point out that we evaluate your user behavior when sending the newsletter. For this evaluation, the e-mails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which represent one-pixel image files that are stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the data mentioned in § 3 and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. With the data obtained in this way, we create a user profile in order to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. In doing so, we record when you read our newsletter, which links you click on in them and deduce your personal interests from this.
Right to object

You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in every e-mail or by informing us via another contact route, e.g. by e-mail: info@snocks.com. The information is stored as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After you unsubscribe, we store the data purely statistically and anonymously. Such tracking is also not possible if you have deactivated the display of images in your e-mail program by default. In this case, the newsletter will not be displayed to you in full and you may not be able to use all functions. If you display the images manually, the tracking mentioned above will take place.


14. Use of Social Media Plugins
We use so-called social plugins (“plugins”) from Instagram on our website, which are operated by Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Instagram”).

We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to Instagram. The plug-in in the form of images is captioned “Follow us on Instagram”. We give you the opportunity to communicate directly with Instagram via the button. Instagram only receives the information that you have accessed our website if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it. In addition, the data mentioned under § 1 of this declaration will be transmitted. By activating the plug-in, your personal data is transmitted to Instagram and stored there (in the USA for US providers).
We have no influence on the collected data and data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes of the processing, the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the data collected by Instagram.

If you interact with the plugin, in particular by clicking on the plugin image, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Instagram servers. The content of the plug-in is sent directly to your browser by Instagram and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Instagram receives the information that your browser has accessed our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged in to Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can immediately assign your visit to our website to your Instagram account. The information is also published on your Instagram account and displayed to your contacts there. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this way you can avoid being assigned to your profile on Instagram.

Instagram stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to display needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, although you must contact Instagram to exercise this right.

For more information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Instagram, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Instagram's data protection information: https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388/.
If you do not want Instagram to directly assign the data collected via our website to your Instagram account, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our website. You can also completely block the Instagram plugins from loading with add-ons for your browser, e.g. B. with the script blocker "NoScript" (http://noscript.net/).
The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f GDPR.


15. Remarketing/ Retargeting

(1) We use “Custom Audiences” from Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”) on our websites for retargeting or remarketing purposes. This service uses so-called tracking or remarketing pixels. These are pixel image files that enable log file analysis. By using the pixel, the service provider can see when and how many users called up the pixel, or whether and when an email was opened or a website was visited.

(2) With the help of this service, users of the website can be shown interest-based advertisements (“Facebook ads”) when visiting the social network Facebook or other websites that also use the process. In doing so, we are interested in showing you advertising that is of interest to you in order to make our website more interesting for you. When you visit our website, a direct connection to the Facebook servers is established via the pixel. This enables Facebook to identify you using the browser ID, since this can be linked to your user account. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and are therefore informing you according to our state of knowledge: By integrating Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you have visited the corresponding website of ours accessed our website or clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and store your IP address and other identifiers.

(3) The “Facebook Custom Audiences” function can be deactivated for logged-in users at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#_.

(4) The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Further information on data processing by Facebook can be found at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
Right to object
