Cookies are small text files that we store on your device and that contain data such as personal page settings (e.g. language, screen resolution) and login credentials. We distinguish between strictly necessary cookies, (optional) statistics cookies, (optional) marketing cookies and (optional) profiling cookies. For a more detailed description on the use of these cookies, see section 2.1. The cookies used are stored for different periods of time, so we also distinguish between permanent cookies and session cookies (see section 2.2).
In addition to us (as the "first party"), other parties ("third parties") may also process personal data from you using their own cookies. For more information about such third parties, please refer to the section "First/third-party cookies" (see section 2.3).
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to work, and relate to core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the website cannot be effectively operated. You may disable these by changing your browser settings, but this may affect how the website functions.
Statistics cookies
These cookies are used to improve the user-friendliness of our website, and hence the user experience, by analysing your behaviour. For example, the cookies collect information about how you use our website, the number of visits you make, the average time you spend and the pages you view. Statistics cookies help us to determine, for example, which elements of our online offering are most widely used and to further develop our website based on your needs. We also use statistics cookies to track and analyse the behaviour of users on our website ("user tracking").
Marketing cookies
These cookies are used to offer you relevant content that is tailored to your interests. They are also used to manage advertising and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. The cookies record whether or not you have visited a website and what content you have used there. This is based on the unique identification of your browser and your device. The information may be shared with third parties, such as advertisers, and used by them for their own purposes, so that relevant advertising can also be displayed to you on other websites. These cookies are often linked to third-party website features.
Cookies may be stored on your device for either a long period of time or temporarily.
So-called permanent cookies are stored on your device for a set period of time until the cookie expires (or until you delete it beforehand). This saves language settings, for example, so you don't have to configure them again for our website.
A session cookie temporarily stores a session ID while you are active on our website. This prevents you from having to log in again, for example if you change web page within our website. Session cookies are deleted when you leave the website or cease to be valid when your session expires that is, when you leave the website or close your browser.
A first-party cookie is a cookie placed by us as the controller or by our processors on our behalf. Andreas Stihl Limited processes the data collected by the first-party cookies for its own purposes, regardless of whether it has programmed the cookie itself or is using the cookie of another provider.
A third-party cookie is a cookie that is not placed by the website you are currently visiting, but by a third party. This third party could, for example, be one of our service providers, such as an advertising network. Third-party cookies originate from various third-party domains that can use cookies flexibly to track user behaviour on our website and on third-party websites outside the third-party provider’s offering (in particular for user-specific advertising). When you visit a website where the advertising network places advertisements, the advertisements on this website can store a third-party cookie on your device. Although we allow third parties to access our website to install these cookies on users' devices, we do not have any control over the period of time during which these third-party cookies are stored on their devices. The data collected from the cookie is processed by the third party for its own purposes and under its own controllership in accordance with the relevant Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy or under joint controllership with us. This also includes third-party cookies from third-party social networks that allow information to be shared with the respective social networks.
Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. In addition to your rights as a data subject in relation to the processing of personal data by cookies (see section 5 of the Privacy Notice), you may object to the use of cookies at any time with future effect by setting your browser to accept no cookies or only certain cookies, or to be notified when cookies are sent. If you adopt these browser settings, you may not be able to make full use of all the features of our web pages.
It is also possible to visit our website without accepting optional cookies; however, using it without optional cookies may alter the functioning or availability of the website. If you want to make full use of the functionality of our web pages, we recommend that you accept all cookies.
Please note that your selection affects only the browser you used when you made the selection. If you use different devices or different browsers on a device, you usually need to make your cookie selection again. Under certain circumstances the settings may be reset to the default settings after updates or if you delete cookies from your browser, so you have to reconfigure them.
If you allow cookies in your browser settings, we will show you a cookie banner on our website. This allows you to manage your cookie settings, for example to enable or disable optional cookies. Optional cookies are placed only if you give your consent for the respective cookie category. Please note that strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent and are always placed whenever you allow cookies in your browser settings.
You may withdraw your consent in our Privacy Preference Centre at any time with future effect and change the cookie categories you have selected. To this end, please use the "cookie settings" that are linked at the beginning of this text.
In the following list you will find the cookies we use on our website. In addition to the name of the cookie, the storage period, the purpose of use, the provider and the assignment to the selectable categories (necessary, statistics and marketing) are also indicated.
