Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer or mobile device, and they identify the device when connecting to our server, as well as providing additional information. Other technologies such as tracking pixels, web bugs, web storage, and similar files serve the same purpose. Cookies are stored on your computer.

Culinary Analytics uses external tracking services that implement technology to track non-personal information about visitors to this Website. The access data is stored in a log file—the server log—every time a page is accessed. The resulting data set contains the following data:
A standardized file format for the web server log is used for this purpose. Provided that this data is not absolutely necessary for the technical maintenance of the system or system security, it is immediately anonymized, and the original logs deleted. Anonymization takes place through the removal or shortening of the IP address by assigning a code that is not assigned to any specific user. This means that assignment of information to a specific or identifiable person is no longer possible. Culinary Analytics uses log data (log files) exclusively in anonymous form for statistical evaluations without any link or references to your personally identifying data. This enables us to detect possible program errors or incorrect links and to continuously develop and improve the Website. Culinary Analytics does not link page views and usage information to individual people.

Unlike cookies, which are installed on the hard drive of the user’s computer, tracking pixels are invisible. We do not link the data collected by tracking pixels to our customers’ personal data. We may use tracking pixels in our HTML emails to track which emails have been opened by recipients. This enables us to evaluate the effectiveness of certain communications and of our marketing campaigns.

Every email that can be regarded as a business letter or is relevant for tax purposes will not be deleted during the period of the legal obligation to keep records in accordance with tax, commercial, and other applicable laws of the United States or the jurisdiction of your residence.
