Thank you for your interest in our online shop. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below, we will inform you in detail about how we handle your data.
1. Access data & hosting
You can visit our websites without giving any information about yourself. Each time you access a website, the web server simply automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the retrieval. This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offering. This serves to protect our prevailing legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your page visit.
hosting
Some of the services for hosting and displaying the website are provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise explained in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in forms provided for this purpose on this website are processed on their servers.

4. Advertising
4.1 Google Ads with conversion tracking
The Blue World Studio website uses the Google Ads advertising service. This service is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads is an online advertising platform that allows us to place ads both in Google search results and on the Google advertising network. With Google Ads, we can define specific keywords that cause our ads to appear in Google search results when a user performs a search that includes those keywords. In the Google advertising network, our ads are automatically placed on thematically appropriate websites based on these keywords.
The goal of using Google Ads on our website is to increase the visibility of Blue World Studio by displaying targeted advertising on third-party websites and in Google search results. In addition, it allows us to display third-party advertising on our own website that may be of interest to our visitors.
When you access the Blue World Studio website via a Google ad, Google sets a so-called conversion cookie on your IT system. This cookie expires after thirty days and is not used to identify the user. It is used to track whether certain sub-pages of our website, such as the shopping cart of an online shop, have been visited as long as the cookie is active. With the help of the conversion cookie, both Blue World Studio and Google can recognize whether a user who came to our website via a Google AdWords ad has made or canceled a purchase.
This means that the conversion cookie is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements and to provide us with important insights about the performance of our advertising measures. This information helps us optimize our online marketing strategies and provide more relevant content to our visitors.
Google uses the data and information collected through the use of conversion cookies to create visit statistics for our website. Blue World Studio uses these statistics to determine the total number of users who came to our website via Google Ads ads. This enables us to assess the success or failure of each individual ad and to optimize our future ads campaigns accordingly. Both our company and other Google Ads advertisers do not receive any information from Google that would allow us to personally identify users.
By analyzing these statistics, we can better understand how effective our ads are and which pages on our website are particularly appealing to visitors who come via Google Ads. This information is valuable for us to continuously improve the user experience on our website and to ensure that our advertising budgets are used efficiently.
The conversion cookie set by Google on the Blue World Studio website stores personal information, such as the websites you visit. This means that every time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection you are using, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This data transfer is based on standard data protection clauses in accordance with Art. 46 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which was approved by the European Commission in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 93 paragraph 2 GDPR.
The personal data stored by Google in the USA may be shared by Google with third parties under certain circumstances. This transfer takes place within the framework of the data protection regulations set by Google and taking into account the applicable legal framework.
At Blue World Studio, we place great value on informing our visitors about the use and sharing of their personal information and ensuring that it is handled in accordance with data protection laws.
These processing operations are carried out exclusively with express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

5. Plug-ins and other services
5.1 Google Tag Manager
Blue World Studio uses the Google Tag Manager service on its website, operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, a Google group company headquartered in 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to implement 'website tags' (i.e. keywords that are integrated into HTML elements) and manage them via a user interface. With this tool, we can automatically recognize which buttons, links or personalized images you have actively clicked on and thus understand which content on our website is of particular interest to you.
Google Tag Manager also controls the triggering of other tags that may collect data. It is important to emphasize that Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have made a deactivation at the domain or cookie level, this deactivation remains valid for all tracking tags that were implemented with Google Tag Manager.
Blue World Studio will only use Google Tag Manager with your express consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. This may also include the transfer of personal data to countries outside the European Union. The transfer of data is based on the standard data protection clauses in accordance with Article 46 GDPR, which were approved by the European Commission in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 93 (2) GDPR.
