Provided they do not contain a specific expiration date, cookies are only temporarily saved and automatically deleted as soon as you close your browser or turn off the device. Cookies with an expiration date remain saved even after you close your browser or turn off your device. These cookies are only deleted when they have reached their expiration date or if you manually delete them.
We use the following three types of cookies on our website:
the necessary cookies (for example, the cookies needed to display the website correctly for you and to temporarily save certain settings)
functional and performance-related cookies (cookies that help us improve our website, for example to evaluate the technical data of your visit and thus avoid error messages)

We use YouTube to embed videos. YouTube is operated by YouTube LLC, headquartered at 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube is represented by Google Inc., headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. When playing embedded videos, a connection to YouTube servers is established and your IP address is transmitted for technical reasons. If you are also logged into your YouTube user account, YouTube will assign the information about the videos you watched to your personal user account. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account and other accounts on the Google platform before using our website.
The security standards of the Google platform and the privacy rules of Google (https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=fr-FR) apply as protection measures.The purpose of the data transfer is to integrate YouTube videos on our site, so that our users can easily access the videos displayed without leaving our site. The legal basis is your consent in accordance with Article 6, para. 1, GDPR.
To improve visual fonts, we use Google Fonts (https://fonts.google.com) by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"), a collection of fonts provided by Google. These fonts are transferred to your browser's storage folder and enabled when you visit this or other websites. If this option is not supported, the Web page text will only be displayed in a default font. To do this, a query is sent to domains such as fonts.googleapis.com or fonts.gstatic.com, which, for technical reasons, contains your IP address. However, your data will not be merged with other data or transferred back to you.
In order to protect your privacy, we have made sure that Google's collection policy recovery does not merge your data with other Google services, for example if you have a Google user account. Data protection information on the Google Fonts website confirms this point (https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq). In addition, the security standards of the Google platform and the associated Google privacy policy (http://www.google.com/privacy) apply. The purpose of the data transmission is to display the fonts correctly in the page layout we specified. The IP address is required to connect to Google's servers in order to download the font library if it is not already registered on the device. The legal basis is our legitimate interest, as set out in Art. 6 para. 1, GDPR letter f.
This site uses Google Analytics, a web data analysis service provided by Google Inc. (Google). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files saved on your computer and which allow you to analyse how you use the website. As we have activated data anonymisation, your IP address will be shortened by Google in the Member States of the European Union or other States parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and will only be transferred to the United States after that. The full IP address will only be transferred to a Google server in the United States and shortened in exceptional cases. Google uses this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities and provide additional services to the website provider related to the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser for the use of Google Analytics will not be linked to other Google data. You can prevent cookies from being saved by selecting the appropriate setting for your browsing software; please note that in this case you may not be able to use all the features available on the website. Further information on data usage and data protection by Google Analytics can be found at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/fr/ or https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/. Fonetix uses Google Analytics only in combination with the extension gat._anonymizeIp(), so that IP addresses are only saved in a short form, that is, in an anonymous form.
In order to protect your privacy, we use the anonymisation function offered by Google, as mentioned above, where data analyses are not based on you as a person, but only in aggregate form for statistical analyses. In addition, the security standards of the Google platform and its data privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=fr) apply. The purpose of using Google Analytics is to analyse anonymously the usage behaviour of our websites. This information helps us improve our services. The legal basis is our legitimate interest, as set out in Art. 6 para. 1, GDPR letter f.
Our website uses Google LLC’s Conversion Tracking, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter: Google), to record statistics on the use of our website and in order to evaluate the optimisation of our services for you. Google AdWords places a cookie on your computer in case you have accessed our website through a Google advertisement. If the user visits specific pages on the AdWords client’s website, and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can see that the user clicked on the ad and was directed to that page. Each AdWords client receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookies is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have decided to use conversion tracking. We receive information on the total number of users who clicked on the ad and were redirected to a page containing a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

Google Tag Manager allows you to manage web site tags through a single interface. According to Google, Google Tag Manager is a cookie-free domain that does not collect personal information. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags that can collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If it is disabled at the domain or cookie level, it will remain disabled for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. For more information on Google’s privacy policies, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US. The legal basis for use is your consent in accordance with s. 6 para. 1, letter a of the GDPR, which can be granted via our cookie banner. This consent may be revoked at any time via our cookie management tool.
The data we collect will only be transmitted if:
you have given your express consent in accordance with article 6, para. 1, GDPR letter a,
disclosure under s. 6, para. 1, letter f of the GDPR is necessary to assert, exercise or defend your rights through legal action and there is no reason to assume that you have a paramount interest in not disclosing your data,

We use payment service providers. Depending on the payment method you choose when ordering, Fonetix's authorised payment service providers are responsible for collecting and processing your payment data (e.g. bank details or credit card data). The data protection declaration of the payment service provider concerned shall apply in this respect.
Fonetix takes security measures to ensure that your data is protected against loss, alteration or misuse. To do this, Fonetix uses continuously updated, industry-standard firewalls and other security systems. At the same time, the user must be aware that we cannot offer 100% protection against attacks, due to the constant barrage of new viruses and means of attack on the secure data systems of Internet services. Fonetix will continue any attacks on the data, regardless of the author, civilly and criminally, and will inform users in case their data has been compromised.
