Please direct any information, complaints or queries to datenschutz@austrian-mint.at

2) HANDLING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We know that the careful handling of your personal information is essential for you. Therefore, the Austrian Mint attaches great importance to adhering to the current legal requirements. 

When you supply personal information such as your name, email address, postal address, etc. via our website, you give your consent for your customer profile to be stored and further processed. These data reach the provider and are stored there for the purpose of fulfilling the services offered on the site. We do not share your data with third parties.

3) COOKIES

In this guideline we use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and other similar technologies covered by the EU Directive on privacy in electronic communications.

WHAT IS A COOKIE?

Cookies are small files, created by the website visited, that contain data. They are stored on the visitor’s computer to give the user access to various functions.
Both session cookies and non-session cookies are used on our sites. A session cookie is temporarily stored in the computer memory while the visitor is browsing the website. This cookie is erased when the user closes their web browser or after a certain time has passed (meaning that the session has expired). A non-session cookie remains on the visitor’s computer until it is deleted.

WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?

We use cookies to learn more about the way visitors interact with our content and help us to improve the experience when visiting our website.

HOW DO I REJECT AND DELETE COOKIES?

We will not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information about a visitor. 
However, should you wish to do so, you can choose to reject or block the cookies set by Austrian Mint or the websites of any third party suppliers by changing your browser settings – see the "Help function" within your browser for further details.

Please note that most browsers automatically accept cookies so if you do not wish cookies to be used, you may need to actively delete or block the cookies.
For information on the use of cookies in mobile phone browsers and for details on how to reject or delete such cookies, please refer to your mobile phone manual.
Note, however, that if you reject the use of cookies you will still be able to visit our websites but some of the functions may not work correctly.

3.1 Piwik PRO Analytics Suite

In order to analyse the user experience and the digital customer journey in a data-based manner and to optimise it for you by offering you products, content or services tailored to you ("personalisation"), we use the analytics and customer data platform Piwik PRO.  We collect first-party data about website visitors based on cookies, IP addresses and so-called browser fingerprints; we create user profiles based on browsing history and calculate metrics related to website usage, such as bounce rate, intensity of visits, page views, etc. The Piwik PRO analytics and customer data platform collects data about the content of your website. Tracking collects data on what content, pages and features you use on the website.  The tracking is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit. a of the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR").

If personal tracking is carried out after you have voluntarily given your consent, you can withdraw your consent in the corresponding tracking setting on your device, whereby the tracking data is anonymised and can no longer be assigned to your person. Your IP address will be immediately anonymised during this process, so that you as a user remain anonymous to us. You thereby forego the benefits of personalised use of the digital services.

The tracking data is collected exclusively via (cloud services in the EU).

It is matched against information – such as advertising interest segments and histories of ads shown in the browser or device – provided by clients or other third parties and stored on the Platform. This information is used by clients to select advertisements for delivery by the Platform, and to measure the performance of, and attribute payment for, those advertisements.

4. LOGGING OF IP ADDRESSES

Every time you visit a website your IP address will be passed on to the operator of the website. This is a technical requirement that enables you to receive the content you wish to see. Your IP address is assigned to you by your Internet service provider. Third parties can theoretically determine your identity by making a request to your provider.

For security reasons, for example in order to follow up hacker attacks, we store all IP addresses of those who visit our site as well as the URLs requested, the size of the response returned, any error messages and the date and time of the request. The protocol generated from this data will be used exclusively for the tracking of any breaches of security. Furthermore, IP addresses will not be stored permanently but deleted within a maximum period of four weeks.
