The protection of your personal data when we collect, process, and use these data during your visit to the homepage of M.M.Warburg & CO (AG & Co.) Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien and its branches—henceforth M.M.Warburg & CO—is very important to us. Your data is protected in compliance with legal regulations.
Protection of the data
We employ appropriate, technical, and organizational security measures to protect your data against manipulation, unauthorized access and other unauthorized use, as well as against loss, destruction, access, alteration, or distribution of your data by unauthorized persons. Web pages on which we collect personal data are encrypted and certified by institutions licensed for encryption certification. Additional security installations are in place for online banking. A firewall system prevents unauthorized access from outside.
Collection and processing of personal data
Every access to the Web pages and any retrieval of a file stored on these pages is recorded for internal system-related and statistical purposes. The following is recorded:
the name of the file accessed, the date and time of day when it is accessed, the transferred data volume, a notice of successful access, the Web browser, and the requesting domain. The IP addresses of the computers making the request are also recorded.
Data which is collected for this purpose is deleted after 14 days or anonymized for statistical purposes and deleted after four weeks.
Additional personal data is only collected if the user of the website supplies information voluntarily, for instance as part of a query or when registering for personalized services, or through the settings of his or her browser.
Data which has been recorded when the website accessed is passed on to third parties only to the extent that we are obliged to do so either by law or court decision, or if it is required in the event of attacks on our Internet infrastructure for purposes of legal action or prosecution. Data is not passed on for other purposes.
Advertising, newsletter, and other notifications
When you register to receive information, other products, or an e-mail newsletter, data is collected which we need in order to supply you with the pertinent service. Depending on the service, such data as form of address, title, last name, first name, street address and city, phone number, and e-mail address is collected. The mandatory data fields to be completed are clearly marked with an asterisk (*). These data are only stored as long as necessary to supply the service.
You can object to the processing and use of your personal data for promotional purposes at any time. Consent which has been given to the use of the data may be revoked at any time with effect for the future. Each edition of a newsletter contains information on how to unsubscribe (see also the section “Data Protection Notice according to the EU General Data Protection Regulation”).
When you order information material on financial products of M.M.Warburg & CO we use the personal information you have provided only within M.M.Warburg & CO. We do not pass on the data to third parties without your express consent.
Access data and cookies
When you visit our Web pages, text files are used which are stored on your hard disk and which supply us with specific pieces of information. These are so-called cookies and super cookies (summarily called “cookies”). Storing them helps us to improve our digital offerings and facilitates your use of our website. The cookies we use cannot be linked to specific individuals. When a cookie is activated, an identification number is assigned to it. Your data is not linked to this identification number.
Most of the cookies we use are automatically deleted from your hard disk after the end of the browser session. In addition we also use cookies which remain on your hard disk. This allows the system to automatically recognize during future visits that you have visited us before and your preferred parameters and settings. These cookies are stored on your hard disk and are automatically deleted after a certain period of time.
You can prevent cookies from being stored by setting your browser to not accept cookies; however, we point out that in this case you might not be able to use our digital products and financial services (interference-free).
On-site targeting, retargeting, and conversion tracking
On the basis of our legitimate interests according to GDPR Art.6.1(f), cookies are used within our digital offering to collect data for the improvement of the digital offering. This data is not used to identify you personally but serves solely an evaluation of the user behaviour under a pseudonym.
For this purpose, we have integrated the Matomo component to this internet site. Matomo is an open-source software tool for the gathering, collection and evaluation of data related to the behaviour of visitors to internet sites, which enable us to understand the origin of the visitors and clicks and are used by us for the optimisation of the internet site and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
In the context of this technical process, we gain knowledge of personal data, like the IP address of the person concerned, which serves, among other things, to help us understand the origin of the visitor and the clicks.
Matomo places a cookie in the IT system of the person concerned. Via the cookie, personal information like the access time, the location of the outgoing access, and the frequency of the visits to our internet site are stored. For each visit to our internet site, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the person concerned, is transferred to our server and stored. We do not pass on this personal data to third parties.
As already mentioned, the person concerned can, at any time, prevent and thus permanently reject the placement of cookies by activating the relevant settings of the internet browser used. Such internet browser settings would also prevent Matomo from placing a cookie on the IT system of the person concerned. Additionally a cookie previously placed by Matomo can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programme.
Furthermore, the person concerned has the option to reject and prevent the recording of data related to the use of this internet site generated by Matomo. To do so, the person concerned must activate the “Do Not Track” setting within the browser.
With the setting of the opt-out cookies, however, there is a possibility that the internet sites of the Data Controller may no longer be fully usable by the person concerned.

To provide you with even more comprehensive information, our websites have links which refer to the websites of third parties. When these links are not clearly recognizable, we identify them as external links. We have no influence whatsoever on the content or design of the Web pages of other providers. Therefore the content of this Data Privacy Statement does not apply for these external providers.
