These are used by EWALIA and its partners to provide a more user-friendly, effective and secure service. Cookies also allow EWALIA and its partners to identify the browser used and to make certain offers to the user. Cookies do not contain any information that can traced to individuals.

These plug-ins can be used to collect the user's IP address and the page the user has accessed on the ewalia.at website, and they may set up a cookie for the feature to function properly. Some apps may use third-party features (such as Facebook) through the third-party software development kit (SDK) that can process general device information (such as device ID, etc.). Social media plug-ins and widgets are either hosted by third parties or hosted directly on our websites. User interaction with these features is subject to the privacy policy of the company providing the feature. The basis for data processing through plug-ins are our legitimate interests.

EWALIA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GUIDELINES AND PRACTICES OF COLLECTION, USE, DISCLOSURE, INCLUDING PRACTICES, OF THIRD PARTIES.

Users can recognise the respective plug-ins of third parties, e.g. by the respective logo or other features typical of the respective social media platform on our website. By using a plug-in, for example by clicking on the "Like" button or entering a comment while users are logged into the social media account of Facebook, Google+ or Twitter, users connect the content of the Ewalia pages with their respective social media profile. In this way, Facebook / Google + / Twitter may link the visit to the Ewalia site or the use of Ewalia products to the social media account of a particular user. As a provider of the products, Ewalia knows neither the content of the data transmitted nor the way in which such data is used by Facebook, Google+ or Twitter. More information for the data transfer of the respective social media platform can be found on the following pages:
