2. When might we collect your personal data?
We Might collect your personal data in the following situations:
1. When you visit our websites and buy products or services from us.
We use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this so that we can find out things such as how many people have visited our websites and which parts of the websites they looked at and interacted with. We only process this information in a way that does not directly identify anyone.
If we do need to collect your personal data through our website, for example if you enter a competition, we will be very clear about what information we are collecting and what we intend to do with it.
When accessing our website, we will process data in server log files. This data derives from your terminal equipment and may include personal data. In particular, we process the following data:
the operating system of your terminal equipment
the browser used by you
the name of your provider
your IP address
data and time of access
accesses pages and search terms (if applicable)
the source that referred you to our website (referrer) for example Google, other websites and social media sites
This processing activity is necessary to ensure the operation of our website, to optimise the content and deliverability of our website, and to provide the necessary information to public bodies in case of a cyber attack. The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest.
Tracking and Cookies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies that store information on your terminal equipment or accesses such information for the following purposes:
providing our website analytics and personalisation - tracking
(re-)marketing / data sharing with third parties
remembering the notifications you’ve seen so that we don’t show them to you again
recognising you whenever you visit our site
allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently
measuring how you use our site so that we can update and improve it to give you the best possible experience
Note on data processing in the United States
For the purpose of "analytics and personalisation - tracking", we work with technology providers (as data processors) with whom a transfer of your personal data to the United States cannot be ruled out.
Likewise, for the purpose of "(Re-)Marketing / data sharing with third parties", we work with partners with whom a transfer of your personal data to the United States cannot be ruled out.
Where possible, we instruct our technology providers to process your personal data in data centres within the European Union.
However, in the case of technology providers or partners who also have an establishment in the United States or are located there with other companies of their group of companies, we cannot rule out the possibility of US security services gaining access to your personal data. This may occur, for example, via remote access or a legally binding instruction to our technology provider or partner. In particular, this may expose you to the risk that US security services may access your personal data without specific cause and on a large scale basis, and that you may not be able to take effective legal action against that in the United States.
Providing our website / appWe use cookies and similar technologies to ensure certain features of our website. This is strictly necessary to provide our website. By doing this, we can, for example,
save your preferred language version of our website or similar settings for your next visit
distribute requests to our website across multiple web servers (load balancing)
provide a uniform context (session) to multiple requests to our website, in order to facilitate login-secured parts of our website or checkout / payment processes

When using the Facebook Page, personal data may be processed by Facebook, for which Facebook and we are jointly responsible. This joint controllership is governed by the Facebook “Page Controller Addendum”.
All key information about data processing on the Facebook Page can be found in the Facebook Data Policy and the Facebook Cookie Policy.
There you will also find all information on the nature and scope of the personal data affected by the data processing and your rights to information, confirmation, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability and complaint with a supervisory authority.

You may object to data processing towards Facebook (please refer to the Facebook Data Policy and the Facebook Cookie Policy).

We use a third-party web application firewall from CloudFlare to maintain the security and performance of our website. CloudFlare operates a CDN (Content Delivery Network) which keeps copies of our website to allow quicker access from multiple geographic locations. The CDN allows users to access the website quicker than usually possible when not located in the UK. All data is processed via our server located in the UK and CloudFlare doesn’t retain any data except for essential security purposes, (for example, if a data incident ever occurred, all IP addresses involved in that incident would be recorded and retained so that we could investigate the issue and do our best to avoid it ever happening again). The service processes site visitor’s IP addresses to protect our site.
The lawful basis we rely upon for processing your data when you allow optional cookies is consent.
When we process your personal data in order to maintain the integrity of our websites and to assess the number of visitors to our website we do so because we believe it is necessary for our legitimate interests.
Analytics and personalisation - TrackingWe use cookies and similar technologies to evaluate user behaviour on our website and to adapt it according to this.
Provided you have given your consent, we process information on your terminal equipment and the browser you are using (in the case of the website) every time you interact with our website. For example, we can find out which language settings you use on our website, whether you use a smartphone or a desktop computer or from which country you access our website.
In addition, we process information about how you interact with our website, for example, from where you are referred to our website, how long you use our website and the path you take through individual sub-pages. For example, we can record whether you found us via a search engine (and if so, under which search term) or an advertisement, how long you spent browsing the content of a particular page and how many pages you visited in total.
We use this information to create analyses of user behaviour on our website and to optimise the website accordingly. In some cases, we create several different versions of our website, which we present to individual users or user groups, and use cookies or similar technologies to evaluate which version is used by you in which way.
Our legal basis for this processing activity is your consent. You may withdraw or change your consent for future processing at any time by changing your tracking settings. Additionally, you may change your browser settings regarding cookies and similar technologies.
We use the following products for analytics and personalisation:

(Re-)Marketing / data sharing with third parties
We use cookies and similar technologies to evaluate the reach of our advertising campaigns and how users who have become aware of our website through our advertising campaigns use our services. We also use cookies and similar technologies to record which users use our website in order to form groups (“audiences”) and to address these audiences on other online platforms with personalised advertising.
If you have consented to this, we will record whether you have reached us via one of our advertising campaigns and how you then interact with our website. For example, we can record which share of users who have seen an advert actually use content from our website. This enables us to better plan and control our advertising.
In addition, we group the users of our website into audiences. Audiences are user groups that are put together by us according to certain criteria (e.g. all users who have accessed a category of recipes). If the users of an audience are also users of our marketing partners, we can individually address these users with advertisements (re-marketing) through our marketing partner’s platform. Information that our marketing partner has about his users in one of our audiences can also be used by him to suggest similar user groups to us for advertising.
To this end, we inform our marketing partners that you have visited our website and whether you have visited pages defined by us or have carried out other actions (e.g. registered an account). Our marketing partners may also use this information in the performance of their contract with us, for example to further personalise your profile on their own platform.
Our legal basis for this processing activity is your consent. You may withdraw or change your consent for future processing at any time by changing your tracking settings. Additionally, you may change your browser settings regarding cookies and similar technologies.
Our marketing partners are separate controllers for the data processing that they carry out for their own purposes. The marketing partner will provide you with their own data protection information.
