Data privacy, data protectionCollection, processing and use of personal data, cookies: In principle, you can visit our website without us collecting any personal data from you. Amongst other things, however, our website uses so-called cookies for the purpose of making our Internet presence altogether more user-friendly, more effective and more secure – for instance in order to speed up navigation on our platform. Furthermore, cookies allow us to track the frequency of site visits and to assess general navigation. Cookies are small text files that are stored locally on your computer system. Please note that some of these cookies, known as “session cookies”, are transferred from our server to your computer system. A characteristic feature of session cookies is that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive again at the end of the browser session. Of course, you can decline cookies at any time provided that your browser offers this function. Please bear in mind that the use of specific functions on this website might be restricted or impossible if your browser is set to decline cookies (from our website).
Information collected automatically: Usage data are collected on this website using technology provided by effective GmbH (www.effective-world.com) on behalf of KUKA. The click paths of KUKA website users who cannot be personally identified are also collected for marketing and optimization purposes. The collected data are used exclusively by KUKA and are never passed on to third parties. The collection of data is carried out in compliance with the current data protection guidelines. These data are used to create usage profiles with a view to performing quality analysis of the website or for testing marketing activities. The data collected by means of technology provided by effective GmbH are not used to personally identify the website user. On the one hand, this is not even possible and on the other, it is not the intended purpose of the tracking process. This website uses the IP2Location service to route users to a country-specific KUKA site depending on their location. The data used for this purpose are not stored permanently, conflated with other data or made available to third parties.
Using Facebook plug-ins: These Internet pages use plug-ins of the social network facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). If you call up Internet pages on our website that have such a plug-in, a connection to the Facebook servers is established and the plug-in is indicated on the Internet page by means of a message to your browser. This communicates to the Facebook servers which of our Internet pages you have visited. If you are logged onto Facebook as a member, Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. Use of the plug-in functions (e.g. clicking on the “Like” button, leaving a comment) is also assigned to your Facebook account; this can only be prevented by logging out of Facebook before using the plug-in. More detailed information about the collection and use of data by Facebook, your rights in this respect, and ways of protecting your privacy can be found in the Facebook data privacy instructions.
YouTube videos: This website incorporates videos from our YouTube channel. These are integrated exclusively in extended data protection mode. This mode prevents YouTube from saving cookies for a user who displays a website featuring an embedded YouTube video player with extended data protection mode but does not click on the video to play it. More detailed information about the collection and use of data by YouTube, your rights in this respect, and ways of protecting your privacy can be found in the YouTube data privacy instructions.
Entry of data: To enable us to respond to your requests and other communications, we ask that you provide certain personal information. Any data you provide will be handled with due care and diligence, and will be used only for the purpose of processing your inquiry. We collect only those data which are actually required, and comply with the German laws regarding data privacy and data protection. Your request may also be processed partially by external service providers, who are contractually bound to us and guarantee the same standards of data privacy and data protection as we do. Of course you have the right at any time to review your stored personal data and to request these data to be amended, blocked or deleted.

For this reason, KUKA Roboter GmbH cannot guarantee the confidentiality or completeness of the transmitted data.
