3. Cookies and Tracking

This website first uses only strictly necessary cookies required for the site to function (no consent required under applicable law). Only after you actively consent via the cookie notice at the bottom of the screen do we additionally set Google Analytics cookies (see section 4). You may withdraw or change your consent at any time, with future effect, via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.

This website uses Ahrefs Web Analytics (provider: Ahrefs Pte. Ltd., Singapore) for anonymous, cookie-less traffic measurement. Per the provider's own statement, the service collects no personal data and sets no cookies, and there is no cross-device or cross-site tracking (source: ahrefs.com/web-analytics). For technical reasons, your IP address is transmitted to the provider's server on each page load (as with any HTTP request); per the provider, it is not stored permanently. Processing may take place in the United States. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in privacy-friendly, aggregated analysis of website usage (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

We also use Google Analytics (provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) to analyse how visitors use this website (e.g. pages viewed, time on page, traffic sources) so we can improve the resource for the plastics industry. Google Analytics sets cookies (including `_ga`, `_ga_*`) on your device that enable this analysis. Google shortens the IP address within the EU/EEA (IP anonymisation); transfer to Google servers in the US may occur under the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Google Analytics is loaded only after your prior, active consent via the cookie notice. The legal basis is GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) in conjunction with applicable ePrivacy/cookie law. You can withdraw your consent at any time via "Cookie settings" in the footer; without consent, no Google Analytics script is loaded and no such cookies are set. More information: Google's privacy policy.

Beyond this, we use no tracking pixels and no third-party advertising trackers. The polymer price live ticker and the online calculators run entirely client-side and do not transmit data to any server.

If we add advertising in the future (AdSense, partner advertising), we will update this section accordingly.

7. International Data Transfers

All our processors (Webgo, Formsubmit) operate within the European Economic Area (EEA). Should this change, we would inform you and implement appropriate safeguards (Standard Contractual Clauses, etc.).
