 v. Google Analytics

Further to the information provided above, we provide in the following additional information on our use of Google Analytics:

Google Analytics is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, located at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). You can learn about Google's practices here.

During your websites’ visit, the following data will be collected:

  • the pages you call up, your "click behavior"
  • achievement of "website goals" (conversions, e.g., newsletter registrations, downloads)
  • user behavior (e.g., clicks, time spent, bounce rates)
  • your approximate location (region)
  • technical information about your browser and the end devices you use (e.g., language settings, screen resolution)
  • your internet provider
  • the referrer URL (via which website/advertising medium you came to this website)

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your (pseudonymous) use of our websites and to compile reports on the activities

The information generated by the cookies about your use of the websites will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. We use, however, the function 'anonymizeIP' (so-called IP-Masking) when using Google Analytics. This means your IP address will be truncated as soon as data is received by Google Analytics, before any storage or processing takes place. Only in exceptional cases will the whole IP address first be transferred to a server in the United States and truncated there. Nevertheless, access by US authorities to the data stored by Google cannot be ruled out.

We have also taken the following measures to protect, to the extent possible, the data collected through Google Analytics:

  • We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google about how Google may process the data collected through Google Analytics, including EU Standard Contractual Clauses and including where necessary (a) the UK Addendum (“UK Addendum”) or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (“IDTA”) published by the Information Commissioner’s Office (together, “SCCs”) and (b) provisions to comply with U.S. privacy laws.
  • We have configured Google Analytics to not share data with third parties.
  • We do not use other Google services in conjunction with Google Analytics.
  • We have not activated the signals option.
  • We make use of the truncation feature (IP anonymization) of Google Analytics.

More information about the contractual arrangements for the processing of Personal Information with Google can be found at: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/processorterms/ and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/.

For more information about the implemented safeguards with Google for international data transfers, please visit https://privacy.google.com/businesses/processorterms/.

The data sent by us to Google Analytics and associated with these cookies is deleted after 6 months.

You can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the websites (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by:

  • not providing your consent to the setting of the cookie at our Privacy Preference Center, or
  • for website-based use, downloading and installing the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics here.

You can also prevent the storage of cookies when using our websites by configuring your browser software accordingly. However, if you configure your browser to reject all cookies, this may limit functionality on these and other websites.

For more information about Google Analytics terms of use and Google's privacy policy, please visit https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/gb/ and https://policies.google.com/?hl=en.

vi. Sitecore Analytics

In addition to Google Analytics, we also use Sitecore analytics. Sitecore analytics is a service provided by Sitecore Holding II A/S (CVR. No. 37624071) to run websites’ usage reports.  It does not connect to any advertising platform and is strictly for internal usage only by Skyworks. You may learn more about Sitecore privacy practices here.

By using Sitecore analytics, we can track user engagement and behavior and are able to provide the most relevant content and enhance the user experience. You may opt out by sending a request to webworks@skyworksinc.com to remove your profile. Similar to the use of Google Analytics, you can prevent the collection of data generated by a Sitecore cookie and related to your use of the Websites (including your IP address) to Sitecore and the processing of this data by Sitecore by not providing your consent to the setting of the cookie at our Privacy Preference Center or by configuring your browser software accordingly.

2. International Transfers

Specifically with regard to Personal Information collected via cookies, please note that in some cases cookie information may also be processed by our service providers or by the providers of third-party cookies in countries outside the EEA and/or UK that do not offer a level of data protection comparable to the EEA and UK (as applicable). In some countries, such as the USA, there is a particular risk that local authorities may obtain access to cookie information for monitoring purposes and there may be no effective legal remedies against such access. To the extent that you have given your consent to the use of cookies, you also consent to the transfer and further processing of Personal Information collected via cookies to countries outside the EEA and UK. The transfer is also usually additionally secured by the conclusion of SCCs.

3. Legal Bases for the Use of Cookies

Where the placement of cookies involves the processing of Personal Information, the legal basis for processing Personal Information in connection with strictly necessary cookies is our legitimate interest in the functioning of our websites. Strictly necessary cookies also do not require consent pursuant to the ePrivacy Directive and its implementing laws. For the processing of Personal Information in connection with performance cookies, functional cookies and targeting cookies, we obtain your consent via our Privacy Preference Center where required by applicable law. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by accessing the relevant cookie(s) at our Privacy Preference Center and changing your preferences.

4. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

Once you enter into the websites for the first time or after 6 months as of the time you have accepted or rejected the use of cookies, a pop-up window appears that notifies you of the use of cookies. Cookies that do not require your consent, will be automatically enabled and placed on your device.  With respect to any cookies, which are not strictly necessary cookies, you have the option to accept or reject the use of all or some of them (per category) by clicking “Accept all” or “Reject All” or adjusting “Cookies Settings.”

Click on our Privacy Preference Center button above to change your cookies preferences at any time.

Through your browser settings you can also manage cookies that are already placed on your device or prevent the future storage of cookies. Browsers are different, so refer to the settings menu of your browser for instructions on how to change your cookie preferences.

We describe above specifically how you can prevent the use of Google Analytics and Sitecore.
