Cookies
Purpose and use of cookies
Dr. Bock’s website sets cookies solely in order to enable or enhance functions or improve the navigation experience for the user. Under no circumstances does Dr. Bock use cookies to collect, process, disseminate or record personal data.
What is a Cookie?
A "Cookie Internet" (also known as "cookie browser" or "HTTP cookie" or simply "cookie") is a small file of letters and numbers that will be stored on your computer, other equipment of a user accessing the Internet. The cookie is installed on a web browser request from a browser (ex. Internet Explorer, Chrome, etc.) and is completely "passive" (does not contain software, viruses or spyware, and cannot access the information on the hard drive, the user). A cookie consists of two parts: the name and the content or the cookie value. Furthermore, the duration of a cookie is determined; technically, only the webserver that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that webserver.
The following types of cookies are used on https://www.drbockindustries.com :
- PHPSESSID: It is a type of necessary cookies that help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. It preserves user session state across page requests. Type: HTTP, Expiry: Session, Category: Necessary
- _pk_id# Statistic cookies help website owners to understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously. It collects anonymous statistics on the user's visits to the website, such as the number of visits, average time spent on the website and what pages have been read. Type: HTTP, Expiry: 1 year, Category: Statistic
- _pk_ses# Statistic cookies help website owners to understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously. It is Used by Piwik Analytics Platform to track page requests from the visitor during the session. Type: HTTP, Expiry: Session, Category: Statistics
The majority of cookies used by us are so-called session cookies. These are automatically deleted once you exit our website. Except for statistic cookies that collect and report information anonymously which are saved for a longer period of time. The maximum storage period of a cookie can be up to one year (for example, when saving your preferred language on our website)
All cookies on our websites contain purely technical information in a pseudonymized or anonymized format, with no personal data.
If you want to prevent cookies from being saved, in your browser settings select "Do not accept cookies". If cookies are not accepted by the browser, the scope of functions of our websites may be severely limited. A number of functions are then no longer available.
Web analyses
Piwik web analytics tool (www.piwik.org)
The user actions on the website are recorded and evaluated by the tracking software Piwik (www.piwik.org). Storage of the IP address is anonymous, i.e. the last two octets of the IP address are set to 0. This means the collected data cannot be traced back to a specific person. The tracking software is only used to adapt the website to the current technical framework conditions and to optimize the Internet service for the users. Forwarding to third parties is excluded.
The tracking software is located in Germany and on its own server. Statistical data and any personal data (e.g. via registration or contact forms) are thus stored separately on different servers. A link between personal data and statistical data can be completely ruled out.
Contradiction of the web analysis
You have a right to appeal against collection of anonymized data by Piwik. The appeal is stored as an opt-out cookie, so that for example the opt-out must be declared again after deletion of all browser cookies.
Supplementary notes regarding use and circulation of personal data
Dr. Bock may be forced to disclose your data and corresponding details by order of a judicial or regulatory action. We also reserve the right to use your data to assert a claim or to defend against legal claims. In compliance with applicable law, we reserve the right to save and pass on personal data and any other data in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, and violations of Dr. Bock's terms and conditions of use.
Secure Internet communication
We make every effort to ensure that your personal data is transmitted and saved utilizing technical and organizational measures, in such a way that it is not accessible to third parties.
As a general rule, the Internet is regarded as an insecure medium. In contrast to a telephone line, for instance, transmission of data on the Internet can be more easily wiretapped, recorded or even modified by unauthorized third parties.
Encryption of data transmission
To ensure the confidentiality of communications with you, we use specific functions (log-in etc.) of an AES 256 bit SSL encryption. The encryption used by us is regarded as secure, based on the latest technological advancements. Operating systems and browsers from earlier versions also achieve this security level. If necessary, you should update the operating system and browser on your PC to enable use of this high-grade encryption.
When communicating via email in an unencrypted manner, complete data security cannot be guaranteed, so we recommend using the postal service for confidential information.
Update of this data protection statement
Dr. Bock launches new products or services, alters its Internet procedures or if the Internet and electronic data processing security technology is further developed, the data protection statement is to be updated. We therefore reserve the right to alter or modify this statement as required. The change will be published here.
