GELDBAUM cannot fully influence the processing of personal data by third parties.

GELDBAUM does not use cookies for any purpose other than that described in our Privacy and Data Protection Policy and as stated in this Cookie Policy.

On top of all that, it is important to note that some videos embedded on our site use a cookie to anonymously collect statistics about how you visited the video page and the specific videos you visited.
Enabling these cookies is not strictly necessary for the website but will provide you with a better browsing experience.
You can delete or block these cookies, but if you do, some features of this website may not work.

Some of our sites or subpages may use additional and/or different cookies from those previously listed and described. For example:

• companies we hire to provide services on our behalf, such as website analytics, set cookies when you visit our websites,
• companies that deliver content, such as videos or news or ads on our sites, set their own cookies. These companies use the data they process in accordance with their Data Protection Policies, which may allow these companies to collect and combine information about your activities from multiple websites, applications, or network services.

Details about them will be provided to you as soon as they appear and at that time we will ask you for your consent, if you have not given it before, so that we can store these cookies as well.

gr8coffeefestival.com uses the tools and services of companies and social networks that do not operate in the European Union. We are obliged to warn you that third parties such as Google LLC may transfer your personal data to the U.S. where it may become available to U.S. government services, if the data transfer is not compliant with the lawful and secure transfer mechanisms prescribed by the General Data Protection Regulation.

We care about the protection of your data and that is why we use various legal options for the lawful transfer of personal data in our business, which will ensure an even greater level of your protection.

On 10 July 2023, the European Commission adopted a new adequacy decision under which personal data can be freely transferred from the European Union to companies in the US participating in the Data Privacy Framework.

The adequacy decision is based on Article 45 of the General Data Protection Regulation. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a mechanism that ensures the secure and lawful transfer of data to third countries. Companies in the U.S. that wish to participate in the Data Protection Framework must undergo a self-certification process and enroll in the list of companies that have accessed the Data Privacy Framework.

GELDBAUM will use an adequacy decision for the transfer of personal data with service providers that successfully self-certify and access the Data Protection Framework.

GELDBAUM will use valid standard contractual clauses pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation for the transfer of personal data with service providers that do not access the Data Protection Framework.

We will inform you further about any measures taken and will amend our policies after the compliance period has elapsed.
If you are interested in how third parties change their data protection rules, see the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US.

The website gr8coffeefestival.com also uses certain Google services (Google Analytics) on the basis of which, through cookies and Google LLC, collects certain personal data (hereinafter: Google).

The following is considered under the term Google Services:

• Google applications,
• Google sites
• devices and services like Search, YouTube, and Google Home, platforms like Chrome Browser and Android operating system
• products that are integrated into third-party applications and websites, such as ads
• embedded Google Maps.

When you sign in and interact with some Google services, such as posting a comment on a video on YouTube, your name and image will appear next to your activities. Google may also display this information in ads, depending on your preferences.

Google may also share certain categories of data publicly with its partners, such as advertisers or developers. Google also allows certain partners to collect data from your browser or device for advertising and measurement purposes through their own cookies or similar technologies.

Google uses cookies for many purposes. For example, to remember your SafeSearch settings, to make the ads you see more relevant to you, to count visitors to a particular page, to help you sign up for certain Google services, to protect your information, or to remember your ad preferences.

Below you can see a list of the types of cookies used by Google and learn how Google and its partners use cookies in advertising.

1. Use of the “Settings” cookie
   These cookies allow Google sites to remember information that changes the way a website works or looks, such as your chosen language or area. For example, when it remembers which area you are in, a site may offer local weather or traffic news. These cookies can also help you resize text, font, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.

   If the information stored in the settings cookie is lost, the site may lose some of its functionality, but this should not prevent the site from working.

   Example:
   Most Google users have a settings cookie called “NID” in their browser. The browser sends this cookie with requests to Google sites. The “NID” cookie contains a unique ID that Google uses to store your settings and other information, such as your chosen language (e.g., Croatian), how many search results you want to appear on the page (e.g., 10 or 20), and whether to have Google’s safe search filter turned on.

2. Use of “Security” cookies
   Google uses security cookies to authenticate users and protect user data from unauthorized parties.

   Example:
   Google uses the “SID” and “HSID” cookies, which contain digitally signed and encrypted records of the user’s Google Account ID and the time of last login. The combination of these two cookies allows Google to block many types of attacks, such as attempts to steal the content of forms you fill out on web pages.

3. Use of “Process” cookies
   Process cookies help make the website work and deliver services that the website visitor expects, like navigating around web pages or accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly.

   Example:
   Google uses a cookie called “lbcs” that allows Google Docs to open multiple documents in a single browser. Blocking this cookie would prevent Google Docs from working properly.

4. Use of “Advertising” cookies
   These categories of cookies help Google make advertising more interesting to users and more valuable to publishers and advertisers. Cookies are typically used to select ads based on their relevance to the user, to improve campaign performance reporting, and to avoid showing the same ads to individual users.

   Example:
   The NID and SID cookies are used by Google to personalize ads on Google products such as Google search. For example, Google uses these cookies to remember your recent searches, your previous interactions with ads or advertiser search results, and your visits to advertiser sites. The latter allows you to display customized ads on Google.

   Google also uses one or more cookies for ads served on the web. One of the major advertising cookies on non-Google sites is called the “IDE” and is stored in browsers under the doubleclick.net domain. Another cookie of the same type is stored under the domain google.com and is called “ANID”.

   Google also uses DSID, FLC, AID, TAID, and exchange_uid. Other Google products, such as YouTube, may also use these cookies to display more relevant ads.

   Sometimes advertising cookies may be placed on the domain of the site you have visited. In the case of advertising served by Google on the entire web, “__gads” or “__gac” cookies may be placed on the domain of the site you are visiting.
   Unlike cookies that are set on Google domains, Google cannot read those cookies when you are on sites where they are not set.
   Their purpose is to measure interactions with ads in that domain and prevent over-display of the same ads to users.
   Google also uses conversion cookies whose main purpose is to help advertisers determine how many times people who click on their ad follow up by buying their products.

5. Use of the “Session Status” cookies
   Websites often collect information about how users interact with the site. This may include information about which pages users visit most often and whether they receive error messages from specific pages. These “session status cookies” help Google improve its services to provide users with a better browsing experience.

   Blocking or deleting these cookies will not render the site unusable.

   These cookies can also be used to anonymously measure the effectiveness of PPC (pay per click) and affiliate advertising.
   Example:
   A cookie called “recently_watched_video_id_list” is used to help YouTube record which videos a particular browser has recently watched.

6. Use of “Analytics” cookies
   Google Analytics Google is an analytics tool that helps website owners and owners of gr8coffeefestival.com, as well as applications, to find out how their visitors use the options of their sites and applications. It may use a set of cookies to collect information and report site usage statistics without revealing the identity of individual users to Google. Google Analytics’ main cookie is “_ga”.

   In addition to reporting site usage statistics, Google Analytics can be used, along with some of the advertising cookies described above, to display more relevant ads on Google products (such as Google search) and on the web, and to measure interactions with the ads we display.

   Learn more at https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage?hl=en_US.
