These cookies are solely used for the purpose of correctly assigning the success of an advertisement and relevant billing within its network. In doing so, AWIN does not collect, process, or use personal data. The cookie solely stores information about when a particular advertising medium was clicked on by an end device. A custom range of digits, which however cannot be traced back to the individual user, is stored in the AWIN tracking cookies; this allows for the partner program to document the advertiser, publisher, and the time of a user action (click or view). Over the course of this process, AWIN also collects information about the end device from which a transaction is carried out, e.g. the operating system and the accessing browser. These data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of storage in the form of a correct allocation of the success of an advertising medium has been achieved.
You can make relevant settings in your browser if you do not wish for cookies to be placed. For more information, see the privacy policy of AWIN.

- What are my rights, and where can I assert them?
You have the following rights concerning us regarding your personal data.
16.1 General Rights
You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR or the equivalent provision under UK law), rectification (Art. 16 GDPR or the equivalent provision under UK law) and erasure (Art. 17 GDPR, or the equivalent provision under UK law) of your data transmitted to us. In addition, you also have the right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR or the equivalent provision under UK law) and restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR, or the equivalent provision under UK law). If the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or the equivalent provision under UK law), you have the right to withdraw this consent with effect for the future (Art. 21 GDPR or the equivalent provision under UK law).
As a rule, you can assert your rights informally and without giving reasons.

They are therefore used by us exclusively for identity verification, but are not included in our database. Once your identity has been established, the proof is deleted from our data.
