Usage of Cookies
In order to make visiting our STIHL newsletter website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions (e.g. newsletter subscription), we use so-called cookies on various pages. When you call up our website, an info banner informs you about the use of cookies on this page and draws your attention once more to our data protection declaration. On our website we distinguish between required cookies, statistics cookies and marketing cookies. Since you cannot use our website properly without the necessary cookies, they are activated by default. However, we only set statistics and marketing cookies with your consent, which you can give and withdraw here.
The legal basis for data processing when using cookies is, for required cookies, on the one hand our legitimate interest in the technical functionality and on the other hand your consent.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer when you visit certain websites. For example, we use cookies to transmit the newsletter subscription form and to remind us of you when you return to our site. Please note that cookies cannot harm your computer. If you would like to learn more about cookies in general and their management, please visit www.aboutcookies.org.
Management of Cookies
Most browsers are set in such a way that cookies are automatically activated. However, these settings can be changed by you. Thus you can ordinarily set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general.
Our website cannot be used properly without the necessary cookies, as these are required for processes such as subscribing to the STIHL Newsletter. In order to be able to subscribe, you must always have cookies activated in your browser. If you disable cookies, you will be able to browse the website, but you will not be able to send the newsletter form.
