You can find an overview of Facebook plugins and what they look like here: http://developers.facebook.com/plugins. When you visit a page on our website that contains one of these plugins, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook's servers. The content of the plugin is transferred from Facebook directly to your browser and embedded into the page. Thanks to this connection, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the relevant page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged into Facebook, it can directly link your visit to our site to your Facebook profile. If you interact with the plugins, for example press the "Like" button or make a comment, this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. This information is also posted on your Facebook profile and displayed to your Facebook friends. For information about the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Facebook, and your rights and settings options to protect your privacy, please refer to Facebook's privacy policies: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php If you do not want Facebook to directly associate the information gathered through our website with your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent Facebook plugins from loading using browser add-ons, e.g. the "Facebook Blocker".

Our website uses social plugins ("plugins") from the Google+ social network, which is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). The plugins take the form of e.g. buttons with the "+1" logo on a white or coloured background. An overview of Google plugins and their appearance can be found here: https://developers.google.com/ /plugins. When you visit a page on our website that contains one of these plugins, your browser establishes a direct connection to Google's servers.

If you are logged into Google+, Google can link your visit to our website directly to your Google+ profile. If you interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the "+1" button, that information is also transmitted directly to a Google server and stored there. The information is also posted on Google+, and displayed to your contacts there. For information about the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google, as well as your rights and settings options for the protection of your privacy, please refer to Google's privacy policy: http://www.google.com/intl/de/ /policy/ 1button.html.

Use of YouTube plugins (videos)

Our website uses plugins from Youtube.com, which is operated by YouTube, LLC, Cherry Ave., USA, and represented by Google Inc. If you access a page on our website that contains one of these plugins, a connection to the YouTube servers is created and the plugin is displayed on the website by notifying your browser.

If you use these plugins, such as by clicking on/playing a video, this information will be linked to your YouTube user account. This can only be prevented by logging out before using the plugin. Information regarding the collection and use of data by the platform or plugins can be found in YouTube's privacy policy at: www.youtube.com.

Retargeting technologies

This site uses online retargeting technology. This means we can show advertisements specifically to internet users who have already shown an interest in our store and our products. From studies, we know that personalised, interest-based advertising is more interesting to internet users than advertising which has no personal connection. In retargeting, a cookie-based analysis of previous user behaviour is used to display advertisements. Of course, no personal data is stored in this process and our use of retargeting technology is in accordance with all applicable data protection legislation.

Umbrail Golf Import works with Criteo SA (32 Rue Blanche, 75009 Paris, France), sociomantic labs GmbH (Paul-Lincke-Ufer 39/40, 10999 Berlin, Germany), and Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). If you do not want Criteo SA, sociomantic labs GmbH, or Google Inc. to display targeted advertising, you can deactivate this function at Criteo here, at sociomantic labs here , or at Google here.

Please note: your opt-out is stored in the form of a cookie. If you delete all cookies on your computer, this opt-out cookie will also be deleted; if you still want to prevent anonymous data collection by webtracking, you must reactivate the opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie is activated individually for each browser and for each computer.
