Internet sites use so-called cookies in several locations. They serve to make our offering more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and that your browser saves. Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies".

We utilize the Usercentrics Consent Manager to manage user consent for data processing activities on our website. The Usercentrics Consent Manager helps us ensure that we comply with GDPR and other relevant data protection laws by obtaining, storing, and managing user consents for the use of cookies and other tracking technologies. That allows ensuring that we have a valid legal basis for processing personal data. The service is offered by Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Str. 7, 80331 Munich, Germany. For privacy-related matters, you can contact Usercentrics via their support at https://usercentrics.com/contact/ or through the contact form on their website.

We utilize the Google Tag Manager to manage and deploy marketing tags (snippets of code or tracking pixels) on our website without having to modify the code. The Google Tag Manager helps us ensure efficient management of our marketing tools and analytics services as well as complying with GDPR and other relevant data protection laws by enabling us to control and manage the deployment of tags that collect personal data and require user consent. The service is offered by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The Google Tag Manager allows us to add and update tags on our website quickly and easily. Tags are used to measure traffic and visitor behavior, understand the impact of online advertising and social channels, use remarketing and audience targeting, as well as test and improve our site. The Google Tag Manager itself does not collect any personal data. It triggers other tags, which may collect data. Any data collected is processed by the respective service provider. Each of such tags is stated in this data protection statement. These tags will only be triggered if you have provided the necessary consent through our consent management tool (please see above).
You have the right to manage your consent preferences at any time. You can access the consent management interface on our website to view or change your settings. Additionally, you have the right to withdraw your consent for the processing of your personal data collected through tags managed by the Google Tag Manager.
The Google Custom Search Engine is used as the central search service within the Internet offering of Wörwag Pharma GmbH & Co. KG. The integrated search service enables full text searching of the contents of Wörwag Pharma GmbH & Co. KG's internet offering. This search function can be accessed via an integrated search field. The search field on this website ("Search Field") is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA, 94043, USA ("Google"). You acknowledge and agree that the data privacy terms from Google (at http://www.google.de/privacy.html) apply for your use of the Search Field and that, by using the Search Field, you agree to Google's use of your personal information according to its data privacy terms.
If you do not wish to grant this approval, please do not use the Search Field. Data are only transmitted when a query is sent via the Search Field.
We use Google Maps on sub-pages at our site to display maps. Google Maps is operated by Google. Information about use of this website, including your IP address, may be transmitted to Google as a result of the use of Google Maps.
When you visit a sub-page of our site which contains Google Maps, your browser establishes a direct connection to Google's servers. The content of the map is transmitted from Google directly to your browser, which integrates it into the webpage. Consequently, we have no influence on the scope of the data Google acquires by this method.
For the purpose and extent of the data collection and further processing and use of the information by Google, as well as your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy in this regard, please see Google's data privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
The terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/help/terms_maps.html.
For a uniform presentation of typefaces, this site uses so-called web fonts supplied by Google. When a site is called up, your browser loads the needed web fonts into your browser cache so that texts and typefaces are displayed correctly.
The browser you use must connect with the servers of Google for this purpose. Through this, Google learns that our website was called up through your IP address. Google web fonts are used in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offerings. The data processing is based on the user's consent according to Art. 6 (1) a GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.
You can find further information on Google web fonts at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq?hl=en and in the privacy policy of Google at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
We use the provider YouTube for integration of videos. YouTube is operated by YouTube LLC, headquartered at 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (“YouTube LLC”). YouTube is represented by Google.
When you retrieve sub-pages of our site which contain this plugin, a connection is established to the YouTube servers and the plugin is displayed. This transmits information to the YouTube servers regarding the websites you have visited. If you are logged in as a YouTube user, YouTube attributes this information to your personal user account. During use of the plugin, such as by clicking the start button of a video, this information is also attributed to your user account. You can prevent this attribution by logging out of your YouTube user account and other accounts from YouTube LLC and Google before using our website and by deleting corresponding cookies.
Additional information on data processing and data privacy notices from YouTube/Google can be found at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
Our site utilizes Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google. Google Analytics uses cookies (as described above). Information generated by cookies about your use of this website is normally transferred to a Google server in the USA and saved there. In case of activation of IP anonymization on this website, however, your IP address is first truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting member states of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
Google utilizes this information on behalf of the operator of this website in order to evaluate your usage of this website, to compile reports on website activity for the website operator and to perform additional services connected with use of the website and the Internet in respect of the website operator.
The IP address transmitted by your browser in connection with Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. You can prevent the saving of cookies by a corresponding setting in your browser software. Note that in this case, you may not be able to fully utilize all functions of this website.
You can furthermore prevent the capturing of the data generated by the cookie and based on your usage of the website (incl. your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).
In light of the discussion surrounding the use of analysis tools with complete IP addresses, we would like to point out that this website uses Google Analytics with the "_anonymizeIp()" extension and therefore IP addresses are only forwarded in a truncated manner in order to prevent them from being linked to individuals.
Specifically for browsers on mobile devices, please click this link in order to prevent the anonymous capture by Google Analytics on this website for your browser in the future, by means of a so-called "opt-out cookie."
Our site utilizes Google reCAPTCHA, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The primary purpose of reCAPTCHA is to determine whether the data entry on our website (e.g., in a contact form) is being made by a human or by an automated program. To this end, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the site. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, how long the visitor has been on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis will be forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses take place completely in the background. Website visitors are not advised that such an analysis is taking place. The data processing is based on the user's consent according to Art. 6(1) a GDPR. For more information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google's privacy policy, please visit the following links:
By using reCAPTCHA, data may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to analyze your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other data from Google.
You can prevent the data generated by reCAPTCHA and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) from being collected and processed by Google by not using the service. Note that if you choose to not use reCAPTCHA, certain functions on this website may not be available or may be limited.
By using our website and by providing your consent, you agree to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
