When you visit our website, the browser used on your terminal equipment automatically sends information to the server of our website, which is located in the United States of America.

This information is temporarily stored in a so-called server-log-file. In this process, the following information is collected and stored until automatically deleted:

• the IP address of the requesting computer,
• the date and time of access,
• the name and URL of the retrieved file,
• the website from which access is made (referrer URL),

Our website uses cookies. A cookie is a small text file your browser automatically creates which is stored on your terminal equipment (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website. Cookies do not damage your terminal equipment and contain no viruses, Trojans, or other malware.

The cookies are used to store information associated with the specific terminal equipment used. However, this does not implicate that we immediately obtain knowledge of your identity.

On the one hand, cookies serve to make your browsing experience on our site more efficient and enjoyable. We use so-called session cookies to keep track of the individual pages you are visiting on our website. These session cookies are not memorized and expire automatically after you leave our website.

In addition, we use persistent cookies that are stored on your terminal equipment for a defined period of time to optimize user-friendliness. When you return to our site to use our services, these cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already browsed our site, thus enabling the entries and settings you have previously made to be automatically set so you do not have to re-enter the same information over and over.

On the other hand, we deploy cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimization (see Section 5). When you return to our site, these cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already browsed our site. They are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

The data processed by cookies are necessary for the specified purposes to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit f GDPR.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or so that you are always notified before a new cookie is created. However, if you completely deactivate cookies, you may not be able to use all the functions of our website.

When you visit our website, your browser automatically connects to YouTube servers operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (hereinafter referred to as "YouTube"). This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited.

If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your web surfing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

We use the most common SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure to secure our web pages with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. Our standard is to have 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we resort to 128-bit v3 technology instead. The closed padlock or key icon displayed in the lower status bar of your browser indicates that the individual web pages are encrypted.

We also use suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, and destruction or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved to meet the latest technological developments.

Due to the further development of our website and associated offers or due to changing statutory or official regulations, it may become necessary to revise this privacy notice. You can access and print out the current privacy notice on our website via https://www.hurco.de/datenschutz/.
