Cookies are files stored on your computer by websites that you visit.
Cookies store information such as your preferred language or other personal website settings. If you visit the same website again, your browser sends the stored cookie information back to the site. This enables the site to show you information that has been personalised to you.
We use this widely available technology for several reasons:
Vimeo
The website corpuls.world uses plug-ins provided by the video-sharing website Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA in order to display videos. Every time you visit a page on corpuls.world that includes a plug-in of this kind, this creates a direct connection between your browser and a Vimeo server. However, this only happens if you have agreed via the privacy settings (in the so-called "cookie banner") that external components may be used or if you activate the integration of a Vimeo video individually by clicking on a video placeholder. The content of the plug-in is sent directly from Vimeo to your browser and embedded on the page. Via this connection, Vimeo receives the information that your browser has accessed the relevant page on our website, even if you do not have a Vimeo account or are not currently logged in to Vimeo. This information (including your IP address) is sent directly from your browser to a Vimeo server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to Vimeo, Vimeo can directly associate the visit to our website with your Vimeo account. Interacting with the Vimeo plug-ins (e.g. clicking the Start button of a video) also results in this information being sent directly to a Vimeo server and stored there. The data processing operations described are performed in line with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest of Vimeo to carry out market research and to design the service in line with demand. If you do not want Vimeo to directly associate data collected via our website with your Vimeo account, you need to log out of Vimeo before visiting our site. For information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and further processing and use of the data by Vimeo, as well as your associated rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Vimeo’s privacy policy: https://vimeo.com/privacy
Vimeo, Inc. is based in the USA and certified for the US-EU data protection convention, the ‘Privacy Shield’, which guarantees compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU. The current certificate can be viewed here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/list
This processing is carried out in line with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest of Vimeo in conducting statistical analysis of user behaviour for optimisation and marketing purposes.
For videos from Vimeo that are embedded in our services, the tracking tool Google Analytics from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland is automatically integrated. This is Vimeo’s own tracking system to which we have no access and which cannot be influenced from our side. Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’ for tracking; these are text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie relating to your use of this website is generally sent to a Google server and stored there, and may also be sent to a Google LLC. server in the USA.
YouTube
The website corpuls.world uses YouTube embedding functions to display and play back videos from the provider ‘YouTube’, which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (‘Google’). Extended data protection mode is used for this, which, as per the provider’s specifications, only initiates the storage of user information once the video(s) is/are played back. In general, embedding is only done if you have consented to the use of external privacy components via the privacy settings (in the so-called "cookie banner") or if you are activating the embedding of a YouTube video individually by clicking on a video placeholder. If the playback of any embedded YouTube videos is initiated, the provider ‘YouTube’ uses cookies to collect information about the user’s behaviour. According to information from ‘YouTube’, this is used for the following purposes amongst others: to record video statistics, to improve user-friendliness and to prevent misuse. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be associated directly with your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before clicking the button. Google stores your data (even for users that are not logged in) as a usage profile and analyses it. Analysis of this kind is carried out in line with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest of Google in integrating personalised advertising, conducting market research and/or designing its website in line with demand. You are entitled to object to the creation of this user profile and can do so by contacting YouTube. The use of YouTube can also involve personal data being sent to a Google LLC. server in the USA. Regardless of whether any embedded videos are played back, a connection to the Google network is established every time this website is accessed, which can trigger further data processing operations over which we have no influence.
Further information on data privacy at ‘YouTube’ can be found in the provider’s data privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Google Analytics, Google Fonts, Google Maps
Google Analytics:
The website corpuls.world uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (‘Google’), provided you have agreed in the privacy settings (in the so-called "cookie banner") that external components may be used. Google Analytics uses ‘Cookies’, text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie relating to your use of this website (including the truncated IP address) is generally sent to a Google server and stored there, this can also be sent to a Google LLC. server in the USA.
Our services only use Google Analytics with the extension ‘_anonymizeIp()’, which guarantees that the IP address is anonymised by way of truncation and prevents individuals from being directly identified. The use of the extension means your IP address is truncated in advance by Google within European Union member states or in other countries that are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. In exceptional cases, the full IP address will be sent to a Google LLC. server in the US and truncated there. In exceptional cases like this, this processing is carried out in line with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behaviour for optimisation and marketing purposes. Google will use this information on our behalf to analyse your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide us with further services associated with the use of the website and the internet. The IP address sent by your browser when using Google Analytics will not be linked to any other data held by Google.
The retention period of data stored by Google Analytics has been limited to 14 months.
You can prevent the storage of cookies set by Google Analytics by setting your browser software accordingly.
In addition, you have the option to prevent the recording of the data generated by the cookie and affiliated with your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
Alternatively you have the option to prevent the recording of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. This will result in the placement of an opt out cookie, which prevents the recording of your data during future visits to this website.

Google Fonts:
The website my.corpuls.world uses ‘Web Fonts’ provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (‘Google’) for the uniform display of fonts. When accessing a page, your browser loads the required Web Fonts in your browser cache, in order to display text and fonts correctly. In order to do this, the browser you are using must establish a connection with Google’s servers, which can also involve personal data being sent to a Google LLC. server in the USA. Google is informed that our website was accessed via you IP address in the process. Google Web Fonts are used in the interest of ensuring that our website has a uniform and appealing appearance. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If your browser does not support Web Fonts, your computer will use a standard font.
For the eventuality that personal data is sent to Google LLC. in the USA, Google LLC. has obtained certification for the US-EU data protection convention, the ‘Privacy Shield’, which guarantees compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU. The current certificate can be viewed here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/list
Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
Google Maps:
The website corpuls.world uses Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (‘Google’). Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps, in order to provide a visual representation of geographical information. This service is used to show you our location and to make any potential journeys to the site easier. Google Maps embedding is generally only done if you have agreed on the privacy settings (in the so-called "cookie banner"), that external components may be used, or if you enable embedding of a single Google Map by clicking on a map placeholder. As soon as a Google Map is embedded, information about your use of our website (e.g. your IP address) is sent to Google servers and stored there; this can also involve data being sent to a Google LLC. server in the USA. This is done regardless of whether you are logged in via a user account provided by Google or you do not have an account. If you are logged in to Google, your data is directly associated with your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before clicking the button. Google stores your data (even for users that are not logged in) as a use profile and analyses this. Data is collected, stored and analysed in line with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of Google’s legitimate interest in integrating personalised advertising, conducting market research and/or designing Google websites in line with demand. You are entitled to object to the creation of this user profile and can do so by contacting Google.
For the eventuality that personal data is sent to Google LLC. in the USA, Google LLC. has obtained certification for the US-EU data protection convention, the ‘Privacy Shield’, which guarantees compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU. The current certificate can be viewed here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/list
If you do not consent to your data being sent to Google in future, within the context of using Google Maps, you also have the option of fully deactivating the Google Maps web service by switching off the use of JavaScript in your browser. It will then no longer be possible to use Google Maps and therefore also the map display function on this website.

We protect your personal data against unauthorised access, use or dissemination. Your personal data is therefore securely encrypted when transferred to our server by our website using TLS (Transport Layer Security). We also store your personal data in a controlled, secure server environment that prevents unauthorised access and dissemination.
Our sites are not intended to be used by minors and should not be used by them. ‘Minors’ refers to persons under the age of thirteen (or higher, depending on the laws where you live). We do not knowingly gather personal data about minors. If we become aware that we have gathered personal data concerning a minor, we erase this data. If you believe that this is the case, please contact us.
We only process and store personal data as long as necessary in order to fulfil the purpose for which it was stored or unless this is required by law. In general, the purpose for which personal data is processed ends when your contract finishes or when the legal retention period expires.
