Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide information to website owners, and enhance user experience.

This Cookie Policy explains how Filteraoeco ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website filteraoeco.ddd.

2. Legal Basis

Our use of cookies and similar technologies is governed by:

• The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679
• The ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC (as amended) and national implementations
• The Austrian Telecommunications Act (Telekommunikationsgesetz, TKG 2021), including rules on confidentiality of communications and terminal equipment

We obtain your consent before storing or accessing non-essential information on your device (including non-essential cookies and similar technologies), unless a narrow statutory exception applies.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies and Similar Technologies

These technologies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation and—where applicable—remembering your cookie choices. The website cannot function properly without them.

• Cookie / consent storage: We store your consent preferences in your browser’s local storage (similar to a strictly necessary cookie) so the cookie banner does not reappear on every visit (Duration: up to 1 year, or until you clear site data)
• Session management: Where used, session identifiers for basic site operation (Duration: session)

Legal Basis: Strict necessity under the ePrivacy rules and, where personal data are involved, legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or compliance with legal obligations, as applicable.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information. They are only activated if you consent (for example via “Accept All” or by enabling analytics in Cookie Settings) and if we have integrated an analytics tool.

• Page views and navigation: May record which pages are visited and how users move through the site (typical duration: up to 2 years, depending on the provider)
• Performance data: May measure load times and technical performance (typical duration: as set by the provider)

Legal Basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and ePrivacy/TKG requirements for non-essential storage/access).

3.3 Marketing Cookies

These cookies or pixels are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you, measure ad performance, or build audiences (for example for Google Ads or similar platforms). They are only used if you consent and if such tools are implemented on our site.

• Advertising and conversion measurement: May link ad interactions with visits to our site (typical durations vary by provider, often 30–90 days up to 24 months)
• Retargeting: May allow us or partners to show you ads after you left our site, where permitted

Legal Basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and ePrivacy/TKG requirements). For providers established outside the EEA, transfers rely on safeguards described in our Privacy Policy.
