- Internet presence
3.1 Use of cookies
During your on-line visit, your computer saves cookies – small files that control how our website is displayed and operates. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our internet presence more user-friendly, effective and secure.
Most of the cookies we use are session cookies, which are automatically deleted when you leave our site. Other cookies remain on your computer until you delete them. Those cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit, and the browser settings allow previously viewed pages to load faster, for example. We use cookies to offer you the best possible experience on our website.
We therefore save them and analyze their data – although they do not identify you personally. This improves the usefulness of our website. We perform anonymous statistical analyses of our internet presence, and do not make any personal reference to you.
You can change your browser settings so that you are notified when cookies are being used, and you can allow them only once, or refuse them in certain cases or completely. You may also activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Deactivating cookies may restrict website functionality.
3.2 Server log files
The information that your browser automatically sends us is collected automatically and saved in server log files. They contain:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL (the URL that the user comes from)
- Host name (network name ) of the accessing computer (no IP addresses)
- Time of server request
This data cannot be traced to individuals, nor do we merge the data with other data sources. We reserve the right to review the information subsequently, and report it to authorities (such as the police or public prosecutor’s office), if there are firm indications that our internet presence is being used illegally (for example, a hacking attack on our network).
- Use of social networks
Social media functions and social plug-ins are embedded in our website in the form of small icons. We currently embed the RSS notifications.
By default, “DYONMED SA / AlfaConsultancy” exclusively embeds deactivated icons, which do not contact the servers of these external networks when “DYONMED SA / AlfaConsultancy”’s website is accessed. The buttons become active and create a connection only if you deliberately click an icon, thus indicating your consent to communicating with such providers. By entering your personal login data to these networks, you create a connection to yourself.
You thus leave “DYONMED SA / AlfaConsultancy”’s internet presence and our sphere of influence. “DYONMED SA / AlfaConsultancy” does not record which external network you activate. The next time you visit “DYONMED SA / AlfaConsultancy”’s website, the social media plug-ins return to their inactive modus, ensuring that no data is automatically communicated to social media upon such return visit.
When you interact with the social plug-ins – for example, by entering a comment – a corresponding notification is sent to the social network and saved in accordance with the respective network’s policy. Please consult the respect social network’s data protection statement with regard to the scope and purpose of the data collected, its use and processing, as well as your respective rights and options in protecting your privacy.
The email address you provide will be used by “DYONMED SA / AlfaConsultancy” to reply to you with the information you request. Any personal or confidential information will be encrypted or, if this is not possible, sent to you by regular mail. If the contents of the email refer to a contractual relationship, “DYONMED SA / AlfaConsultancy” will save the email. The email address will be saved exclusively for corresponding with you, and not disclosed to third parties. You will never receive an unsolicited email from us. As a result, should you nevertheless receive any unsolicited email that purports to be from us, it is fraudulent and should be deleted? Before you send to “DYONMED SA / AlfaConsultancy” an unencrypted email, please remember that its contents are not protected against unauthorized access or manipulation. For this reason, we recommend using our contact form to send any messages to “DYONMED SA / AlfaConsultancy”.
