If you access our websites to obtain information about our products and services without registering in the customer account, purchasing a ticket in our ticket shop or otherwise actively providing us with information (purely informational use), we process your personal data. In addition, we process your personal data as part of marketing measures on third-party websites and social networks. Your personal data is processed for the following purposes and on the basis of the following legal basis:

1. When you visit our websites, we may analyse and document how you use our websites, e.g. number of website visitors, your surfing behaviour on our websites, which events and areas on our website you are interested in, origin of website visitors and, if you purchase a ticket from us, your order and shopping cart data. For this purpose, we process the following personal data, including through the use of Cookies (see The Cookies Policy section below):

IP address (shortened)

2. We process your personal data on the basis of your consent. If you would like to object to the data processing for analytical purposes, please contact us.

3. For this analysis, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of the use of our websites. The information collected and generated by the cookie about the use of our websites may be transferred to a Google server in the US and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on our websites, Google will reduce the IP address of the website visitor within the UK or EEA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On behalf of Stereoticket  Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the websites, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide Stereoticket with further services associated with the use of the website and the Internet.

The IP address transferred by the user’s browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of these websites.

Our websites use Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizelp()”. As a result, IP addresses are processed further in abbreviated form; direct personal reference can thus be ruled out.

In connection with the use of Google Analytics, your personal data is transferred to the US. We will take steps which are reasonably necessary to ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your personal information when it is transferred in this way and to make sure it is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In these cases, we rely on approved data transfer mechanisms (such as standard contractual clauses) to ensure your information is subject to adequate safeguards in the recipient country. If you are located in the UK or the EEA, you may contact us for a copy of the safeguards which we have put in place to protect your personal information and privacy rights in these circumstances.

4. Google Optimize is used on our website to enhance the attractiveness, content and functionality of our website. By making new functions and content available to a percentage of our users and statistically evaluating changes in usage, we can regularly improve our offering.

Cookies are used for these activities, which are linked to a pseudonymous ID. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our website and to create reports on the optimization test and the associated website activities. For more information, please see point 2.1.2 above.

You can prevent the collection of information by Google Optimize by preventing the storage of cookies through an appropriate setting in your browser software or by deactivating tracking in the Cookie Settings (in the bottom-left corner of this page). Please note, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

2.1.3 Processing for the purpose of individual recommendations on our websites
1. If you visit our websites, we analyse and document your user behaviour to display individual recommendations on the websites based on this data. For this purpose, we process the following personal data, including through the use of Cookies (see The Cookies Policy section below):

IP address (shortened)

2. We process your personal data on the basis of your consent. If you would like to object to the data processing in displaying product recommendations, please click on the yellow Cookie Settings button (in the bottom-left corner of this page).

3. For the display of individual recommendations, we use cookies on our web pages, which enable an evaluation and processing of the use of our web pages. You can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie related to your use of the web pages (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by clicking on the yellow Cookie Settings button (in the bottom-left corner of this page) and changing your settings there.

We use an IP anonymization function on our websites. This means that IP addresses are processed in a shortened form; a direct personal reference can thus be excluded.

1. If you visit our websites, we process your personal data for advertising measures in the form of remarketing and display advertising as well as with the help of social media plug-ins and for social media ads.

We process your personal data on the basis of your consent. If you do not want the retargeting function, please click on the yellow Cookie Settings button (in the bottom-left corner of this page). 

In connection with the use of tags and cookies from Google and/or Facebook, your personal data is transferred to the US.

For further details on data processing by Google AdWords and Bing, please refer to the corresponding Privacy Policy : 

4. We place advertisements, so-called social media ads, on the social networks Facebook and Instagram. If you have an account on these social networks and through your account settings on the social network agree to display advertising, you will receive corresponding recommendations on our products and services. The recommendations are generated based on your interests (e.g. “likes” of artists) stored in your public profile on Facebook or Instagram. For this, we process your personal data.
