TLS encoding
This site uses TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as a site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

CONTACT ID registration feature for the use of our services
We offer certain individuals and companies the opportunity to register for a CONTACT ID. The CONTACT ID allows you to access the various services of our CONTACT Portal (ticket system, software downloads, CONTACT community, documentation portal, e-learning, etc.) and your cloud environments.

Collaborative Projects
The CONTACT Portal offers users the opportunity to work collaboratively on projects. This includes planning and executing projects, communication, and the ability to document information and results for all project members. Only project members have access to the project and information.

Software Download
Users of the CONTACT Portal can download software and access important information depending on the valid contract type.

CONTACT Community
The CONTACT Community is a forum where developers and users of CONTACT products can support each other and exchange ideas and information about our products.

In this forum, you can find previously asked questions and answers about our products, ask new questions, get support from other users, or share your knowledge.

You can subscribe to our various information offerings, such as product news, security, or release notifications.

  • Accelerometer data
  • Data from the gyroscope
  • Proximity sensor data
  • Data of the brightness sensor
  • Battery level
  • Battery charge level

Google Ads
We use Google Ads, an advertising system of Google LLC, on our website in order to advertise our services and products on external websites with the help of ads (Google Ads). Based on the data of the advertising campaigns placed via Google Ads, we can determine the success of the individual measures and show you interest-based advertising in the future. Google Ads includes the following functions:

  • Conversion tracking features
    The Google Ads are delivered via the so-called Ads server of Google. In the process, ad server cookies are set for conversion tracking, which enable measurement of the frequency with which the ads are displayed or the click behavior of users on the ads. These cookies are deleted after 30 days. If, during the validity of the cookie, you click on ads placed with Google and are thereby redirected to our website, both Google and we receive the aforementioned information. The information obtained via the cookies is used, among other things, to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who, like us, have opted for conversion tracking. In doing so, we only receive statistical information from Google and learn the total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to our website. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to identify users personally.
     
  • Campaign Manager features
    Within Google Ads, the Campaign Manager feature uses cookies to enable the serving of user-specific ads, to improve ad campaign reporting, or to present users with different ads for different views. Cookie IDs can be used to establish links between ads served and subsequent actions on our website when done through the same browser. Campaign Manager cookies use this information to show you targeted ads later.

  • Disable tracking
    The cookies set enable Google to recognize your internet browser. Through the use of cookies, a direct connection is automatically established between your browser and Google's servers. We have no influence on the extent of the data transfer to Google and the further use by Google. According to our knowledge, Google in any case receives the information that you have called up the relevant part of our web pages or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you have a Google account, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not logged into your Google account or do not have a Google account, Google may collect and store your IP address.

    You can prevent the tracking described above by suppressing third-party cookies in your browser settings. In addition, you can specifically disable conversion tracking cookies by blocking the domain "www.googleadservices.com" in your browser settings (see https://www.google.com/settings/ads). Finally, you can disable user-specific advertising by using the self-regulatory campaign "About Ads" (see https://www.aboutads.info/choices) or via your browser settings (see https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin).
