2.1 Yorck account

Unless you make a purchase anonymously (e.g. when buying cinema tickets on-site without collecting any loyalty points), we will, where necessary and depending on how you use our offer, ask for and store your name, e-mail address, telephone number, address, gender, bank details, date of birth and, if applicable, your photo, in order to conclude a contract with you, to fulfil the contract and to identify you as the lawful holder of your Yorck membership card (Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR).

This data is then stored together with other data about you.

If we require your consent for the use of cookies that are not technically necessary, we obtain this via our
Cookie management tool
when you access the website for the first time. You can also revoke your consent there at any time. Please note that a revocation is only valid for the future and does not render the data processing based on it up to the time of the revocation inadmissible. In our cookie management tool, you will also receive information about the specific cookies used, their function and lifespan.
We use cookies, for example, in order to
  • to ensure the proper and efficient functioning of our online services,

In the following, we inform you about certain tools and practices that we use for analysis and marketing purposes.

6.1. Google Analytics (Analysis/Marketing)

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics and remarketing service provided by Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001 ("Google").Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated about your use of our online services is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. As a general rule, your IP address is shortened by Google within the EEA and only in exceptional cases transmitted as full IP address to a Google server in the USA and shorted there. Google uses this data to evaluate your use of our online services, to compile reports on activities on our online services and to provide us with other services associated with the use of the site and the Internet. In particular, we use the remarketing function of Google Analytics. Visitors are divided into groups, for example according to the duration of the visit or the event, i.e., the performance of a certain action on our online services. This enables us to show you personalised advertising even if you are currently surfing on another website that also participates in the Google advertising network.We obtain your consent for using the tool and processing your data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), which consent you may provide via our
Cookie management tool
when you first access the website and which you may revoke there at any time with effect for the future.

6.2 Facebook Pixel (Analysis/Marketing)

We use the remarketing tool Custom Audiences of Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook") and for this purpose embed a pixel on our website. The tool can be used to display personalised advertisements to users of our website when they visit the social network Facebook or other websites that also use this process. We also allow certain film distributors (e.g.,
The Walt Disney Company Limited
) to embed such tracking technologies on our website in order to analyse the effectiveness of advertising campaigns for certain films, for targeted advertising, to personalise content, to inform about marketing campaigns, to prevent click fraud and to allow us to allocate click funds. In some cases, we also partner with these film distributors to provide targeted advertising to our users on social media platforms (without sharing your data with them).
Data such as the time of your visit, the ads clicked on and your IP address, as well as other identifiers, if applicable, are collected through Facebook counting pixels. If you are logged into your Facebook account at this time, Facebook can combine such information with your account data. You can find out how Facebook handles collected data in the Facebook privacy policy:
https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy
.
We base the use of the tool on your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR), which you have given via our
Cookie management tool
when you first access the website and which you can revoke at any time with effect for the future.

6.3 Twitter (Analysis/Marketing)

We use Remarketing by Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA ("Twitter"). Remarketing utilizes so-called tags to create pseudonymised usage profiles when you visit our website, which can be used as a basis for subsequent advertising, e.g., on the microblogging service operated by Twitter. Twitter finds out from your browser, among other things, that our website was accessed from your end device.

Cookie management tool
when you first access the website and which you can revoke at any time with effect for the future. This allows us to ensure that our advertisements on Pinterest are only displayed to those Pinterest users who have also shown interest in our offer.
Hereby, we want to ensure that our advertisements on Pinterest correspond to the potential interest of the respective user and do not have a harassing effect. It also allows us to track the actions of Pinterest users after they have seen one of our ads on Pinterest or clicked on the website ad. This allows us also to measure the effectiveness of each campaign for statistical, market research and billing purposes. The following information are processed: device information (e.g., type, brand), operating system (e.g., iOS 15), IP address, time of access to our offer, type and content of the campaign and your reaction to the respective campaign (e.g., by clicking at it).
