Some of them (statistical cookies, personalisation cookies and marketing cookies) can be actively enabled by agreeing to their use, others (technically necessary cookies) do not need your consent.
Technically necessary cookies are required for smooth technical operation of the website. The cookies with the names “web”, “rest”, “wwwarbeitsagentur” or “LANG” will be deleted once you close your Internet browser. The cookies “cookie_consent”, “personalisation_consent” and “marketing_consent” have a lifetime of 30 days. If you visit our website again within these 30 days, the 30-day period will start again from that day. With the technically necessary cookies, it is possible to read the content on the platform without any restriction. As already mentioned, your consent is not necessary for their use.
The BA requires your consent for the use of statistical cookies, personalisation cookies and marketing cookies. The BA uses these cookies to make it easier for you to use the website. The cookies do not store any personal data or IP addresses. You can change your settings for these cookies at any time in the cookie settings under the following link: cookie settings
Statistical cookies are used for a statistical analysis of website visitor behaviour and the user-friendly design of the platform.

The two cookies “DS_VARY_ML” and “context-profile-id” have a lifetime of one year. If you visit our website again within this year, this one-year period will start again from this day.
The marketing cookie (USERID1) is part of our web application that allows us to measure user activities and sessions in order to run marketing campaigns. They enable us to offer you targeted marketing campaigns. This cookie has a lifetime of 90 days.
After obtaining consent to the use of the marketing cookies, the technology of ADITION technologies AG will be used. Our service provider Mediascale Köln GmbH & Co. KG is responsible for data collection in online advertising. The following tracking system is used:
ADITION
Virtual Minds GmbH
Ellen-Gottlieb-Straße 16
D-79106 Freiburg im Breisgau
The system is used on our website for the purposes described below. The legal basis is your consent in accordance with point (a) of Art. 6(1) of the GDPR:
Campaign impact tracking:
Tracking allows us to record interactions on the part of users (e.g. clicks on banners/content elements) with our online content on third-party websites. We use this information on usage behaviour for statistical purposes in relation to subsequent interactions on our website. The collected data is evaluated in order to optimise the media campaigns. All collected usage data is saved and stored using an anonymous user ID. The data collected is not used to personally identify visitors to our website and is also not combined with personal data.
Control of relevant online content (so-called re-targeting):
The service provider collects and processes anonymous data on the behaviour of users on our website. This data is used to provide users with targeted, relevant information about our services again after their visit to our website. These advertisements are made outside our website. The user data is collected exclusively in the form of an individual character string (“ID”) and no personal identification takes place.
The following third-party cookie is used for data collection:
Cookie domain: adfarm3.adition.com
Cookie name: UserID1
Storage duration 180 days
Saved information: ID
This website includes videos that are made available via a video management platform from the external service provider movingimage EVP GmbH (Tempelhofer Ufer 1, 10961 Berlin). When a video is called up, a so-called “view event” is created using our web analysis software. This means that the video ID and the URL where the video is embedded are sent to us. The information obtained here does not allow us to draw conclusions about a natural person.
When the videos are played, the video platform operator movingimage uses first-party cookies and third-party cookies as standard in which specific information about the display and playback of videos is forwarded to movingimage for analytical purposes. The information obtained here does not allow any conclusion to be drawn about a natural person. The IP address of the video users is not stored by movingimage and is only forwarded for analysis purposes in shortened form. For this purpose, the last eight characters of the IP address are anonymised.
Additional information on data collection by movingimage as well as your rights in this regard and the available settings options for protecting your privacy can be found in movingimage’s data protection information at https://www.movingimage.com/gtc/privacy-policy-of-movingimage-evp-gmbh/?noredirect=en-US.
The BA uses the web analysis software Matomo for statistical visitor evaluation of the website (tracking). This enables visitor behaviour on the platform to be evaluated anonymously. Anonymization is achieved by masking the last two bytes of the IP address (example IP address: 192.168.xxx.xxx). No conclusions about the identity of the “users” and “participants” can therefore be drawn.
For newsletters, specific forms and marketing automation purposes, this website uses the open source technology Mautic subsequent to consent.
Mautic uses technologies which enable the page-spanning recognition of users for the purpose of the analysis of user behaviour (for example, cookies). It also uses technologies in order to collect, store and process information concerning the use of online forms and email newsletters.
The information collected by Mautic concerning the use of this website is saved on the server of the BA. The IP address is anonymised before the saving process.
With the use of Mautic, the BA is able to send newsletters to subscribers who have consented to receive such newsletters, and to analyse their use. With the use of Mautic, it is also possible to set up web forms to enable visitors to the website to access specific information according to their interests.
The use of this tool takes place on the basis of point (f) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR. As a website operator, the BA has a legitimate interest in sending newsletters to those visitors who wish to receive such newsletters and in enabling visitors who wish to access more detailed and further information (for example, white papers).
Insofar as the corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of email addresses and names), the processing takes place exclusively on the basis of point (a) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR. The consent can be withdrawn at any time. You are free to decide which information you give us. If your personal data has changed (for example, your name or email address), you can notify us by email to redaktion.faktor-a@arbeitsagentur.de so that we are able to correct or update the data.
Mautic is only hosted on the servers of the BA, which means that all data remains in the possession of the BA and is not forwarded to others. The same details apply to the hosting of Mautic as to the hosting of this website.
In addition to Mautic, the BA also uses the technology of Unomi, which collects anonymised data from visitors after they have given their consent. Such anonymously-collected data includes, for example, details on age or gender, as well as user behaviour on our website.
Your anonymised Mautic and website data may be merged with one another on the basis of your consent in order to improve the communication content delivered to you by the BA based on your interests and concerns.
In addition to this collection of data, the technology also provides the possibility for testing, such as A/B testing, with the aim of testing and optimising different versions of our web pages or their components.
Users of this website may request written information about their personal data which is stored by the Federal Employment Agency at no cost. We will carry out possible cases of rectification, blocking or erasure — insofar as it is permitted by law — immediately. You can object to the use and processing of your personal data for marketing purposes at any time by notifying us accordingly in writing. You can also object to the creation of pseudonymous user profiles with the use of your data at any time. If you wish to do so, please deactivate the cookies in your browser.
The data centre of the Bundesagentur für Arbeit is located in Nuremberg. The information serves to further develop and improve the platform.
A statistical evaluation of your visit only takes place if you have selected the cookie type “Statistics” and confirmed your selection. Otherwise no evaluation takes place. You can view your settings via the link: cookie settings
Affected persons have the opportunity to contact the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (Husarenstr. 30, in 53117 Bonn), if they believe that the processing of their data is in breach of the General Data Protection Regulation.
