Your access data is made anonymous and evaluated for statistical purposes so that we can optimise our website for you.
For data protection monitoring, data backup and ensuring the correct operation of our data processing equipment, we store your access data in log files. Generally we delete your access immediately after the end of the connection, provided it is not required within the scope of its particular intended purpose, for example to correct faults.
1.2. Analytical services
Our website uses Matomo. This analytical service involves what is known as reach measurement for website optimisation. Your IP address is immediately made anonymous when it is processed by the server, so that as a matter of principle you remain anonymous to us as a user. Information about your use of this website is not shared with third parties. If you do not agree to your website visit being stored and analysed, you can prevent it by activating the Do Not Track setting in your browser. When your browser sends a Do Not Track header, Matomo will detect it and exclude you from data acquisition.
1.3. Session cookies
We use cookies. A cookie is a small data record that can be stored on your hard drive. This data record is created by the web server that you are connected to via your web browser, and is then sent to you. For example, when you click “Next” on forms, you maintain a link with your previous entries. Currently, most browsers are set up to automatically accept cookies. However your browser also gives you the option to reject cookies or receive notification every time cookies are used. Our technical session cookies do not contain personal data and are only used to be able to offer you as convenient and secure a service as possible. These session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. You must accept our session cookies to benefit from the full functionality of our website.
More details about the cookies used on the website can be found in our cookie policy.
2. Collection and processing of other personal data
Other personal data is only collected when you supply it, for example when you enter data or upload files onto our server. Data collected in this way is only processed within the Federal Republic of Germany. When entering data, you are informed of the precise scope of the processed data. For example from your entries in relation to visit requests, we process your contact information, information about your desired appointment, the desired language of your tour and your other messages in text format.
Personal data stored by Volkswagen Sachsen GmbH is processed in secure operating environments and is not accessible to the public. The website www.glaesernemanufaktur.de uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology to protect the transfer of personal data.

5. Links to other websites, content sharing
Our online offer features links to other websites. We have no influence on whether their operators observe data protection regulations or how and for what purposes they process your data.
With the help of what are known as social plugins, it is possible to share a contribution or a page of this offer with other social network users. The social plugins included in our websites are made available as links. If you select a Volkswagen Sachsen GmbH webpage that contains such a plugin, your browser does not at this point establish a link with the social network’s servers. The contents of the plugins are only loaded after you click on the graphics. The plugin is transmitted from the social network’s server directly to your browser and opens in a new window.
By including the plugin, the social network receives information that you have selected the page from the Volkswagen Sachsen GmbH website. If you are logged into the social network, the social network can allocate your visit to your user account. If you are logged into the social network at that time, the visit to our pages and all your interactions in connection with the social plugin can be allocated to your user account and stored by the social network. You do not have to have a user account with the respective social network for the social network to process your IP address.
When sharing the contents of Volkswagen Sachsen GmbH, please ensure that the recipient agrees to receiving advertising from the link to the social network. Please therefore check that there is such an agreement before you make use of the services offered. Please see the data protection information from the respective social network for the purpose and scope of data collection, the further processing and use of data by the social network and your rights and configuration options in relation to this for the protection of your privacy.
