This Cookie Policy applies to the websites available under "siemens-energy.com" (the "Website").
This website uses cookies. Cookies are small files containing certain information that are stored on your device. Cookies are provided either by Siemens Energy AG ("Siemens Energy") – so-called "first-party cookies" – or by third parties who provide services to Siemens Energy. These cookies are called "third-party cookies".
Cookies are necessary to provide certain functions of a website, such as maintaining a language choice made by a user. In addition, cookies enable the respective publisher (Siemens Energy or a third party) to recognize that the website has previously been accessed by a particular end device, which makes it possible to identify repeat visitors (or rather their end devices) and collect information about their use of the website and their supposed interests.
This information is used to improve the website and to deliver relevant advertising for Siemens Energy products and services on the website as well as on third-party websites.
Cookies can be divided into four categories, depending on their function and intended purpose: strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies and marketing cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are necessary to enable you to navigate the website and use its features, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services requested through the use of our website cannot be provided properly.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require the consent of the user under applicable law. You can configure your browser to block strictly necessary cookies, but you may not be able to use the website's features as intended.
To the extent that information processed in connection with strictly necessary cookies would qualify as personal data in a particular case, the legal basis for that processing is Siemens Energy's legitimate interest in operating the website.
Performance cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for example which pages visitors go to most often and how visitors move around the website. They help us to better understand a user's behavior on our website. This is necessary to improve the user-friendliness of a website and thus improve the user's experience.
Additional information collected by performance cookies may include, for example: browser and operating system used, the domain name of the website you previously visited, the number of visits, the average duration of the visit, and pages visited.
In general, the information collected by these cookies is aggregated and cannot normally be linked to a specific natural person. However, in some cases, the information collected may be linked directly to you (provided that you have disclosed your identity to Siemens Energy, e.g. when creating an account or submitting a request to us). To the extent that information processed in connection with performance cookies in a particular case can be directly linked to you or otherwise qualified as personal data, the legal basis for that processing is your user consent.
Functional cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make or information you enter (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They are also used to enable requested features such as playing videos.
To the extent that information processed in connection with functional cookies would in a particular case qualify as personal data, the legal basis for that processing is the user's consent.
Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies (also known as targeting or advertising cookies) are used to deliver advertisements on third-party websites that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as to help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign.
The legal basis for processing personal data in connection with marketing cookies (if any) is the user's consent.
