The website www.rimowa.com (also the "Website") is operated by RIMOWA GmbH, having its registered office at Richard-Byrd-Strasse 13, 50829 Cologne, Germany, in its capacity as data controller for the purposes of applicable data protection laws and regulations.

We – like many other renowned companies – use “cookies’’. Cookies are small text files that are sent when visiting an internet page and are stored in a user’s browser. In case said Internet page is accessed once again, the user’s browser sends back the content of the cookies and, thus, allows for the recognition of the user. This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, available here.

1.   The types of cookies we use, their purpose and legal basis

The placement of certain cookies on your device requires that you give your prior consent. Thus, as soon as you arrive on our Website, an information banner indicates that we are using this technology and that by clicking on "Accept cookies", you agree to the placement of these cookies on your device.

Cookies used on our Website may be set either by the Website (“first party cookies”) or by third party websites who run content on the website you are looking at (“third party cookies”).

• “Follow us" Social Media plugins: With the click on one of these follow us button, the third party then receives your IP address, information on the browser you use, your operating system and the language settings. The respective third party uses your data according to their data usage guidelines.

For the purpose and scope of the collection of data and its further processing and use by the respective third party as well as your pertaining rights and configuration options to protect your privacy, please see the following information:

The legal basis for this processing is your consent given when you click on the cookie banner displayed when accessing our Website (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR).

• “Facebook” pixel: We use the so-called “Facebook pixel” of Facebook Ireland Ltd. The Facebook pixel enables us to group the visitors to our Website into specific target groups in order to have relevant advertisement (“ads”) displayed to you on Facebook. We do not have access to the data collected (e.g. IP addresses, information on the web browser, location of the website, buttons you clicked on, Pixel IDs and other features), we may only use it to display certain ads.

If you have a Facebook account and are logged in, your visit to this Website will be associated with your Facebook user account.

As mentioned above, we also use the remarketing feature “Custom audiences” of Facebook. This feature enables the display of interest-based ads (“Facebook Ads”) to users of our Website that are visiting Facebook or other websites that use this function. We pursue the interest of displaying ads to you that are relevant to your interests in order to provide you with a more interesting experience at our Website.

Your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Facebook server to exchange the relevant data. We have no control over the extent and further processing of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and therefore we provide the information available to us: The integration of Facebook Custom Audiences provides Facebook with the information that you visited the relevant web page or clicked on one of our ads. In case you are logged into a “Facebook” service, Facebook can associate your visit with your account. Even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider ascertains your IP address and other identifiers and stores them.

If you have given your consent, we might pass your telephone number or e-mail address to Facebook in order to be able to display ads that are relevant to your interests.
