However, we cannot exclude that all functions of our website are available.
Third-party servicesOur website uses content, services and services from third-party providers. These are, for example, tools for sending newsletters, analyzing user behavior or displaying geographical maps or videos. In order for the services to be made available, it is mandatory that the IP address of your end device is transmitted to the third-party provider. Wherever possible, we have chosen a low-data protection configuration. However, we have no influence on whether the IP address may be stored. The third-party providers are listed below.

From the information transmitted during your visit, user profiles are created under a pseudonym. Cookies are used for this purpose.

Please do not delete this cookie as long as you wish to maintain your objection. For more information, please see etracker's privacy policy.
Map service from Google MapsOn our website, we use Google Maps (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) to display maps and to create directions. By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of automatically collected data and data provided by you by Google, one of its representatives, or third parties.
For Google Maps, please see the Terms of Use under Terms of Use for Google Maps and the Privacy Policy under Privacy Policy at Google.
Google may transfer the information obtained through Google Maps to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. It cannot be ruled out that Google will associate your IP address with other data held by Google. It is technically possible that Google could identify at least individual users on the basis of the data received. We have no influence on the fact that personal data and personality profiles of users of the website are processed by Google for other purposes. You have the option of deactivating the Google Maps service in a simple manner and thus preventing the transfer of data to Google.
To do this, deactivate JavaScript in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use the map display.
Display of YouTube videosOn our website, we have integrated videos from the provider YouTube (YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, represented by Google Inc. with headquarters at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).
YouTube videos are embedded in "extended data protection mode" on our websites. This "extended data protection mode" enables YouTube not to store any information about visitors to the respective website, unless visitors watch the respective embedded video. Calling up the videos leads to a connection being established with YouTube and the DoubleClick network. Clicking on the respective video may trigger further data processing operations over which the Cottbus Chamber of Industry and Commerce as website operator has no control.
If you are logged in as a member of YouTube, YouTube assigns this information to your personal user account. When using the service, such as clicking on the start button of a video, this information is also assigned to your user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your YouTube user account as well as other user accounts of the companies YouTube LLC and Google Inc. and deleting the corresponding cookies of the companies before using our website. Further information on data processing and notes on data protection by YouTube.
Our social media offersIHK does not use social media plugins, but so-called social bookmarks. These are integrated on an IHK24 website merely as a link to the corresponding services. After clicking on the embedded graphic, the user is redirected to the page of the respective provider.
This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to the providers. You can recognize the provider by the marking on the box above its initial letter or logo. We give you the opportunity to communicate directly with the provider via the button. Only if you click on the marked box and thereby activate it, the provider receives the information that you have called up the corresponding website of our online offer.
In addition, the personal data is transmitted. We currently use the following social bookmarks: Facebook, Twitter, Xing, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Threema and Telegram.
In the case of Facebook and Xing, according to the respective providers in Germany, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection. By activating the social bookmark, personal data is therefore transmitted from you to the respective provider and stored there (in the case of US providers, in the USA). Since the provider collects the data in particular via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via your browser's security settings before clicking on the box that has been removed.
We have no influence on the collected data and data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full scope of data collection, the purposes of processing, the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the collected data by the provider.
The provider stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses this for purposes of advertising, market research and / or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) for the display of tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective provider to exercise this right. Via the social bookmarks, we offer you the opportunity to interact with the social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.
The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in to the provider, your data collected by us will be directly assigned to your account with the provider. If you click the activated button and, for example, link to the page, the provider also saves this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this allows you to avoid an assignment to your profile with the provider.
For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the provider, please refer to the privacy statements of these providers, which are provided below. There you will also receive further information on your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy.

TwitterThe Cottbus Chamber of Commerce uses the technical platform and services of Twitter Inc, 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103 U.S.A. for the short message service offered here. The responsible party for the data processing of persons living outside the United States is Twitter International Company, One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2 D02 AX07, Ireland.
We would like to point out to the user that the Twitter short message service offered here and its functions are used under the user's own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. sharing, rating).
The user can find information about which data is processed by Twitter and for what purposes in the Twitter data protection declaration:
https://7905d1c4e12c54933a44d19fcd5f9356-gdprlock/de/privacy.
Twitter Inc. has committed itself to the principles of the EU-US Privacy Shield. More details on this topic can be found at:
https://www.pri-vacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TORzAAO&status=Active.
The Cottbus Chamber of Commerce and Industry has no influence on the type and scope of the data processed by Twitter, the way in which it is processed and used, or the transfer of this data to third parties. It also has no effective control options in this respect. With the use of Twitter, the user's personal data is collected, transmitted, stored, disclosed and used by Twitter Inc. and thereby transferred to the United States, Ireland and any other country in which Twitter Inc. does business and stored and used there, regardless of the user's place of residence. On the one hand, Twitter processes the voluntarily entered data such as name and user name, e-mail address, telephone number or the contacts of the user's address book, if this is uploaded or synchronized. On the other hand, Twitter also evaluates the content shared by users to determine what topics they are interested in, stores and processes confidential messages that users send directly to other users and can determine their location using GPS data, information on wireless networks or via the IP address of users in order to send advertising or other content.
For evaluation, Twitter Inc. may use analysis tools such as Twitter or Google Analytics. The Cottbus Chamber of Commerce has no influence on the use of such tools by Twitter Inc. and has not been informed about such potential use. If tools of this kind are used by Twitter Inc. for the account of IHK Cottbus, IHK Cottbus has neither commissioned this nor agreed to it or otherwise supported it in any way. We are also not provided with the data obtained during the analysis. Only certain non-personal information about tweet activity, such as the number of profile or link clicks by a particular tweet, is visible to the Cottbus Chamber of Commerce via its account. Moreover, IHK Cottbus has no possibility to prevent or turn off the use of such tools on its Twitter account.
Finally, Twitter also receives information when users view content, for example, even if they have not created an account. This so-called "log data" can be the IP address, the browser type, the operating system, information about the website previously accessed and the pages accessed by the user, his location, his mobile provider, the terminal device used by the user (including device ID and application ID), the search terms used by the user and cookie information.
Via Twitter buttons or widgets embedded in websites and the use of cookies, it is possible for Twitter to record visits to these websites and assign them to the respective Twitter profile. Based on this data, content or advertising can be offered tailored to the user. Since Twitter Inc. is a non-European provider with a European branch only in Ireland, it is not bound by German data protection regulations according to its own interpretation. This applies, for example, to the rights to information, blocking or deletion of data or the possibility to object to the use of usage data for advertising purposes.
Users have options for restricting the processing of their own data in the general settings of their Twitter account and under the item "Privacy and security". In addition, the user can restrict Twitter's access to contact and calendar data, photos, location data, etc. on mobile devices (smartphones, tablet computers) in the settings options there. However, this depends on the operating system used.
More information on these points is available on the following Twitter support pages:
https://support.7905d1c4e12c54933a44d19fcd5f9356-gdprlock/articles/105576#https://help.7905d1c4e12c54933a44d19fcd5f9356-gdprlock/de/search?q=datenschutzUsers can find out about the possibility of viewing their own data on Twitter here:

It does not collect any data itself via its Twitter account. However, the data entered by the user on Twitter, in particular the user name and the content published under the account, are processed by us insofar as we retweet or reply to users' tweets if necessary or also write tweets from us that refer to a specific account. The data freely published and disseminated by users on Twitter is thus included by us in our offer and made accessible to our followers.
FacebookOur website contains a "Share this content" button from Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. Facebook is a social network. The respective "share button" is recognizable by the Facebook logo.
If the user wishes to share our content, the Facebook button establishes an immediate connection between the user's internet browser and Facebook's servers. In this way, Facebook is informed that our website has been visited with the user's IP address. In the event that the user is logged into Facebook, he or she can use the "Share Button" to link the corresponding content located on our website in his or her profile on Facebook. It is then possible for Facebook to assign the visit to our website to the Facebook account. We, as the provider of our website, are not informed by Facebook about the content of the transmitted data or data usage. Further information can be obtained from the following link:
http://de-de.2343ec78a04c6ea9d80806345d31fd78-gdprlock/policy.php.
In the event that the user should be a member of Facebook, but does not want Facebook to receive data about him via our website and connect it with your membership data, the user must log out of Facebook before accessing our website.
The Cottbus Chamber of Commerce also processes user data. Admittedly, it does not collect any data itself via its Facebook account. However, the data entered by the user on Facebook, in particular the user name and the content published under this account, are processed by us insofar as we may comment on or respond to posts or also write posts from us that refer to the user's account. The data freely published and disseminated by the user on Facebook is thus included by us in our offer and made accessible to other users.
Data securityUnfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure, which is why we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to our website via the Internet. We protect our Internet presence and other IT systems by appropriate technical and organizational measures against loss of availability, integrity and confidentiality. Your personal data is transmitted encrypted on our website. You can recognize the secured connection by the fact that the displayed address begins with "https://..." instead of "http://..." and a closed padlock is displayed in your browser. For more information about our SSL certificate, click on the padlock.
Revocation of consentConsent given for the collection, processing and use of personal data can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. Anyone who has provided the Cottbus Chamber of Industry and Commerce with personal data (for example, when requesting a newsletter) can simply have this data deleted again, provided there are no legal or statutory reasons to the contrary.
