This website is operated by SBA Research gGmbH, Floragasse 7, 1040 Vienna, as responsible party (“we” or “us”). This notice describes how we process your personal data in connection with this website and the services built on it.
1.1 Which of your data is collected and processed
When you visit our website, we collect the following information, which is automatically transmitted from your computer to the page you have visited:
- IP address
- date and time of the request
- Content of the request (specific page)
- Access status/HTTP status code
- the amount of data transferred in each case
- Website from which the request comes
There is no obligation to actually provide the data we ask you to provide on our site. If you decide not to do so, for example by using adblockers or plugins such as NoScript or uMatrix, certain functions may not be fully available for technical reasons.
1.2 Cookies
When you visit our website, “cookies” are stored on your device. These are small text files that store certain settings and data for exchange with our system via your browser. A cookie contains the name of the domain from which the cookie-data was sent, as well as information about the age of the cookie and a cookie ID. Cookies help us to improve our website and to offer you optimised services.
In the so-called session cookies used by us, only the data explained above about your use of the website is temporarily stored. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser or leave the website.
In addition, permanent cookies are used, which are stored on your computer until you delete them manually. Such cookies enable us to recognize your terminal device, with which you have already visited our website, and a non-personal analysis of the use of our website.
Under no circumstances can cookies retrieve, modify or delete data on your computer.
If you want to control the cookie settings on your computer, you can select your browser settings so that you receive a notification when a website wants to store cookies. You can also completely block cookies or delete them if they have already been stored on your computer. If you want to know more about it, call the “Help” function in your browser.
Please note that the use of our website can be impaired by restricting cookies.
1.3 Integration of third-party technologies
Our websites incorporate third-party technologies, services or libraries, in particular Twitter, jQuery.com and Google, in order to optimise loading speeds and page presentation. This involves calling up resources from these providers from external servers (and thus also transferring data such as the IP address), which may be located outside the European Union. We have no influence on the data collected and data processing processes, nor are we aware of the full extent of data collection, the purposes and the storage periods. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by these third parties can be found in the respective data protection declarations of these providers. There you will also find further information on your rights and options for protecting your privacy.
Web Aanalytics
Our website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics, of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies” as described in 1.2. We process your data on the basis of our legitimate interest in producing cost-efficient, easy-to-use website access statistics (Art 6 Paragraph 1 lit f DSGVO).
The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including the IP address and URLs of the accessed websites) is transmitted to servers in the USA and stored there. We do not store any of your data that is collected in connection with Google Analytics.
This website uses the IP anonymisation option offered by Google Analytics. Google will therefore shorten/anonymise your IP address as soon as Google receives your IP address. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other data by Google.
You can prevent the storage of the analysis cookie by setting your browser accordingly. We point out that in this case the full use of the website can be impaired. You can also download and install a browser plugin from the following link that prevents Google from collecting your data in connection with Google Analytics: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
You can also prevent the collection of your data by clicking on the link below, under which an opt-out cookie is set to prevent future collection of your data when you visit our website:
