Affiliate programs and tracking — overview

Purpose
We integrate affiliate links, advertising materials and tracking technologies from various partners on delavo.de to attribute recommendations and ensure correct commission accounting. Processing serves the economic operation of our website and the technical attribution of clicks and conversions.

Scope
This section explains which partner programs we use, what data are processed, the legal basis for processing, retention periods, cross‑border transfers and your rights.

Partner programs used and brief description

PartnerStack
We use PartnerStack to manage and settle affiliate programs. PartnerStack uses tracking technologies to attribute clicks and conversions.

dub.co
Summary: dub.co provides modern link attribution and tracking mechanisms for commission attribution. Data processed: click metadata, technical metrics, possibly anonymized device identifiers and timestamps. Note: dub.co may be used for the technical handling of referral links.

Rytr
Summary: Rytr is a software partner we recommend. Affiliate links to Rytr may contain tracking parameters that attribute clicks and referred conversions.

Simplified
Summary: Simplified is listed as a recommended tool. Affiliate links may use tracking cookies or server‑side attribution.

Other partner programs

Purpose and legal basis of processing

Purposes of processing

  • Attribution of clicks and sales for commission accounting,
  • Measuring the performance of recommendations,
  • Fraud prevention and technical error analysis.

Legal basis

  • Legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, insofar as processing is necessary for the economic operation of the website and for commission accounting,
  • Consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR where tracking cookies or comparable technologies that are not strictly necessary are used. In such cases processing takes place only after your explicit consent via our cookie manager.

How tracking and attribution work

Client‑side tracking
When you click an affiliate link, a cookie or comparable identifier may be set. This cookie does not contain sensitive personal information; it is used solely to attribute clicks and conversions.

Server‑side attribution
Some partners use server‑side solutions or link redirects for attribution. In these cases click metadata (e.g., referrer, timestamp, anonymized device identifiers) are processed.

What is not processed
Where possible, we avoid processing unnecessary personal data. Payment data or full profile information are not transmitted to us.

Cookies and consent management

Cookie categories
Tracking cookies for affiliate programs are listed under the category Partner‑Tracking / Affiliate in the cookie manager. Technically necessary cookies remain unaffected.

Consent
Non‑essential tracking cookies are set only after your active consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time in the cookie manager. Without consent these cookies are not activated.

Deactivation
You can also disable or delete affiliate cookies via your browser settings. Please note that doing so may prevent attribution of referrals.

Transfers to third countries

Cross‑border transfers
Some partners are based outside the EU. Where personal data are transferred to third countries, this is done only if an adequate level of data protection exists (e.g., an adequacy decision by the European Commission) or appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) are in place. For details, please consult the privacy policies of the respective partners.

Retention and deletion

Retention periods
Tracking cookies have varying lifetimes set by the respective partner. Typical durations range from 30 to 365 days. Metadata used for accounting are retained only as long as necessary for billing and statutory retention obligations.

Deletion
You may delete cookies at any time. Upon request we will check which personal data we hold about you and arrange for their deletion, provided no statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Your rights and objection options

Rights
You have the rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, data portability and to object as described in the section “Rights of data subjects” of this privacy policy.

Objecting to processing
If processing is based on legitimate interest, you may object at any time. To object, send an informal message to our data protection e‑mail address: datenschutz@delavo.de.

Withdrawal of consent
Consents you have given may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

Technical and organisational measures

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of processed data. These measures include access restrictions, encryption during transmission and regular review of the service providers we use.

Transparency and partner information

On our page Partner Programs / Affiliate Partners we list all active partners with a short description, the type of tracking used and links to the partners’ privacy information. Please consult that page for partner‑specific details.
