2. Information on the collection, storage and use of personal data
We may collect and process personal data about you. “Personal data” means any information relating to you, such as your name, address, e-mail address, IP address and behaviour.
a) Connection data
When you visit our website www.coliber.legal, the browser used on your terminal automatically sends information to our website’s server. This information is stored temporarily. The following information is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:
- IP address of your terminal
- Date and time of access
- Name and URL of the file accessed
- Quantity of data transmitted
- Message indicating whether the request was successful
- Website from which access was made (Referrer-URL)
- Browser used and operating system of your terminal
- Name of your internet service provider
The above data is processed by us for the following purposes:
- to ensure a trouble-free connection to the website
- to ensure comfortable use of our website
- to assess system security and stability, and
- for administrative purposes.
The legal basis for data processing is Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, lit. f) of the GDPR. In addition, the data is analysed in anonymised and aggregated form and used in the interests of system security and the technical management of the network structure. We reserve the right to check the log data at a later date if, on the basis of specific indications, we suspect illegal use.
Our legitimate interest derives for the above-mentioned purposes from the necessity to secure provision of our website and to analyse the use of our website. The data described above is generally stored for 60 days from the date of collection. In exceptional cases, data is kept for the purpose of clarifying cases of suspected illegal use until the incident has been clarified.
b) Contact by electronic means
If you contact us via one of the e-mail addresses provided on our website, the data you provide (your e-mail address, if applicable your name and telephone number, etc. as well as the factual content of the e-mail) is stored by us in order to answer your questions.
Please note that data transmitted by e-mail is not encrypted.
The collection and processing of your data that you provide to us as part of this contact procedure is based on Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, lit. a) of the GDPR and is justified by your consent. The data will be deleted following your request, unless you wish to receive legal advice from the lawyers at COLIBER LEGAL or have your details stored in our contact list. In this case, your data will be passed on to the lawyers and authorised staff of COLIBER LEGAL and, where applicable, to its service providers.
Your data will be kept for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and/or for the legal retention periods.
3. Transmission of personal data
Your personal data will be passed on to lawyers or authorised personnel of COLIBER LEGAL as well as, where applicable, to sub-contractors bound by confidentiality to protect the personal data of COLIBER LEGAL and/or to cooperation lawyers mandated by COLIBER LEGAL and bound by professional secrecy by law (the latter only in the context of the specific processing of a mandate).

5. Right to object
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you based on Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, lit. e) or f) of the GDPR, including profiling based on these provisions. You also have the right to object at any time to your data being processed for commercial prospecting purposes.

6. Cookies
We use temporary and permanent cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and which are stored on your terminal (laptop, tablet, smartphone or other) when you visit our site. Cookies do not damage your terminal and do not contain viruses, Trojan horses or other malicious software. The cookie contains information that is linked to the specific terminal used. However, this does not mean that we are directly aware of your identity. One of the purposes of using cookies is to make the use of our services more pleasant for you. For example, we use session cookies to recognise that you have already visited certain pages on our website.
These cookies are automatically deactivated after a set period.
In order to optimise user-friendliness, we use temporary cookies which are stored on your terminal for a specific period. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognised that you have already been on our site and what entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to re-enter them.
The data processed by cookies is necessary for the above-mentioned purposes in order to protect our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, lit. f) of the GDPR.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or so that a message is always displayed before a new cookie is created. However, deactivating cookies completely may prevent you from using all the functions of our website.
You can also configure your browser in advance so that cookies are only saved on a case-by-case basis. You can also delete cookies from your terminal via your browser. You can click on the ‘Help’ menu of your browser to find out how to configure your browser preferences with regard to cookies. Please note that you can configure the browsers of all your terminals.
7. Integration of third-party services and content (social networks)
Our site uses plug-ins from social networks, in particular LinkedIn, on the basis of Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, lit. f) of the GDPR in order to facilitate the sharing of content from our site on the various social platforms and to publicise COLIBER LEGAL via this means. The underlying advertising objective is justified by our legitimate interest. Plug-in buttons can be recognised by the logo of the corresponding social network.
The social network providing such an application button is likely to identify you thanks to this button, even if you did not use this button when visiting our site. In fact, this type of application button may allow the social network concerned to track your browsing on our site, simply because your account with the social network concerned was activated on your terminal (open session) during your browsing on our site. We have no control over the process used by the social networks to collect information relating to your browsing on our site and associated with the personal data they hold. We invite you to consult the privacy protection policies of these social networks in order to find out how the browsing information they may collect through these application buttons is used, particularly for advertising purposes. These protection policies should enable you to exercise your choices with regard to these social networks, in particular by configuring your user accounts for each of these networks.
8. Data security and communication by e-mail
We implement all the technical and organisational means necessary to safeguard your data, in particular by preventing third parties from accessing it.
When you communicate with us by e-mail, this entails risks for the confidentiality of communications. Despite appropriate security measures, it cannot be ruled out that third parties may be able to read or modify communications exchanged by e-mail. If you do not agree to this form of communication, please contact us by post.
9. Modification of information
This data protection information was updated in January 2025. Due to possible updates to our website, as well as changes in the regulations applicable to personal data, we may be required to modify this legal notice. Please therefore check the information in this privacy statement before using our website in order to be informed in the event of changes or updates.
