Manage Utiq
Manage Utiq technology consents
You can withdraw Utiq consents* in the following ways:
Here, on this website: to withdraw consent to the activation and use of the
Utiq technology in this website only, click Withdraw Utiq consent.
On consenthub: to withdraw all Utiq consents given to this and other
websites using Utiq technology, access the Utiq
privacy portal (“consenthub”).
The withdrawal mechanisms above do not apply to other cookies or similar technologies used by this or
other websites.
The Utiq technology operates on your internet connection. Therefore, if you use a different
connection, you will need to manage consents for each connection separately.
Alternatively, you can always clean your history and website data via your browser settings. This
will delete all Utiq consents from your browser. All the data in the Utiq platform will also be
deleted within the timeframes specified in Utiq’s privacy
statement.
* This covers Utiq consents that are either given by you or, in case you are using a
shared internet connection, by any member of your household.
About the Utiq technology
The Utiq technology is provided by Utiq SA/NV, a European company that works together with participating telecom operators that help power the technology. The
Utiq technology is designed with privacy in mind to give you choice and control, whilst facilitating
more responsible digital marketing by websites like us.
The Utiq technology is off by default, which can only be activated if you give consent whilst using a
supported internet connection provided by one of the participating telecom operators.
For more information visit Utiq’s privacy statement.
Our use of the Utiq technology
When you consent to the activation and use of the Utiq technology on this website, Utiq provides us,
mail.de GmbH (the Data Controller), with marketing identifiers. They help us to understand your
browsing behaviour and connect visits across our website(s) (only if you agree to the activation of
the Utiq technology on each one separately). We use them for activities like personalising ads or
content and analytics on this and other websites using the Utiq technology, depending on the
consents you gave. These identifiers are also shared with partner advertising platforms, where
needed to conduct the specific marketing or analytics activities.
The Utiq technology is linked to the internet connection. This means that anyone using the same
connection on their device and consenting to the Utiq technology will receive the same identifier.
Typically:
on a broadband connection (e.g., Wi-Fi), the marketing or analytics will be
performed based on the browsing activities of consenting household members.
on mobile data, the marketing will be more personalised, as it will be based
on the browsing of the individual mobile user only.
We, mail.de GmbH, act as joint controller together with Utiq for certain stages of the
processing. As part of our joint controller arrangement:
We collect your consent in relation to the Utiq technology, including for the processing that
Utiq and your telecom operator undertake.
Utiq provides you with a privacy portal (“consenthub”) to
facilitate the exercise of your data protection rights and enable you to easily manage Utiq
consents. At any time. In one place.
Though you may exercise your rights in respect of any of the controllers, Utiq acts as the
common contact point for any questions or requests you may have in relation to the Utiq
technology.

We, mail.de GmbH, our advertising marketer Ströer and other companies also working with Ströer,
