First-party cookies are cookies that we use directly. The information is accessible only within the www.allianz-reiseversicherung.de domain.

We use these cookies to enhance your experience on our website. We use so-called session cookies, for example, to establish that you have already visited certain pages of our website. These session cookies are deleted automatically when you leave our site.

In addition, we use temporary cookies, which are stored on your device for a defined time, to likewise optimise user experience. If you return to our website to make use of our services, the site will automatically detect that you have visited before. It will also know which information you entered and the settings you made to save you having to repeat the exercise.

We also use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to analyse these statistics to optimise our content for you (see para. 5).

4.2 Third Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are cookies that we use for our partners whenever you visit our website - www.allianz-reiseversicherung.de.

These cookies are designed to customise advertisements and to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.

We employ the tracking methods listed below on the basis of Art. 6, para. 1, sentence 1 f) GDPR. The purpose of these tracking measures is to ensure that our website is designed to meet the needs of our users and that it is optimised on an ongoing basis. We also use these tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and to analyse these statistics to optimise our content for you. These interests are considered legitimate by the aforementioned regulation.

The data processing purposes and data categories are provided in the tracking tools concerned.

a) Google Analytics

To ensure that our website is designed to meet the needs of our users and that it is optimised on an ongoing basis, we use a web analytics service of Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; referred to below as "Google"). In this context, pseudonymised usage profiles are created and cookies (see para. 4) are employed. The information generated by the cookie about how you use this website, such as

  • browser type/version,
  • operating system used,
  • referrer URL (site visited previously),
  • host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
  • time of server request,

are transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services regarding website activity and Internet usage for the purposes of market research and to design this website to meet the needs of our users. This information may also be transmitted to third parties, insofar as this is legally prescribed or such third parties process these data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other data from Google. IP addresses are anonymised, making it impossible to associate them with individuals (IP masking).

You can prevent these cookies from being installed by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, we wish to point out that doing so may mean you will not be able to enjoy the full functionality of this website.

Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your usage of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of these data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on.

Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found in the Google Analytics Help function, for example.

b) Google Adwords Conversion Tracking

We also use the Google Conversion Tracking function to statistically record the use of our website and to analyse these statistics to optimise our content for you. In this process, Google Adwords sets a cookie (see para. 4) on your computer if you found our website via a Google ad.

These cookies become invalid after 30 days and are not used to identify you personally. If the user visits certain web pages of the Adwords customer and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer will be able to detect that the user clicked on their ad and was redirected to this site.

Every Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot, therefore, be tracked via the websites of Adwords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie helps to create conversion statistics for those Adwords customers who decided to use conversion tracking. These Adwords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and who were redirected to a site carrying a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to identify users personally.

If you do not wish to be involved in the tracking process, you can decline to do so by setting the required cookie - via a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatically setting of cookies, for example. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the "www.googleadservices.com" domain. You can find Google's data privacy information on conversion tracking here.

Our website offers a chat function for direct communication between you and our service staff. We do this through LiveZilla. LiveZilla uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie on how you use the website (including your IP address) is transmitted to our server and stored there. The IP address is anonymised before it is saved and is not used to identify the user. Personal or pseudonymised user profiles are neither created directly or passed on.
We process your data only for the time required to achieve the purpose of processing and to fulfil legal obligations.
You have the right to be informed about all of the information stored by us, and to demand that incorrect data be corrected. Under certain conditions, you also have the right to the erasure of data, the right to object to processing, the right to the restriction of processing and the right to data portability.

You may object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes. If we process your data in order to protect legitimate interests, you may object to this processing for reasons pertaining to your particular situation.

If you have any objections concerning the handling of your data, you may contact the aforementioned Data Protection Officer. You are also entitled to lodge an objection with a data protection supervisory authority.

During visits to our website, we use the popular SSL (Secure Socket Layer) process in conjunction with the highest encryption level supported by your browser. This is normally 256 bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can see whether an individual page of our website is being transmitted in encrypted format by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the bottom status bar of your browser. We also employ suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or deliberate manipulation, partial or full loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are being constantly improved in line with technological development.
