Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how the website of GS-Leasing GmbH (hereinafter referred to as the "Site") uses cookies and similar technologies. It applies in accordance with Section 25 of the German Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act (Telekommunikation-Telemedien-Datenschutz-Gesetz — TTDSG) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). By using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help remember your preferences and enhance functionality. Similar technologies — such as Local Storage and Session Storage — serve comparable purposes and are covered by this Policy in the same way.
2. Legal Basis for the Use of Cookies
Under Section 25 (2) TTDSG, cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the Site may be stored and read without your consent. All other cookies — in particular analytics and marketing cookies — are only set with your explicit consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Where the processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest in the secure and stable operation of the Site, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR applies.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
- Strictly necessary cookies — required for the core functions of the Site (e.g., storing your cookie consent decision, maintaining security and session integrity). These cannot be disabled via our systems.
- Functional cookies — remember your settings and preferences to provide an improved, more personalized experience.
- Analytics and performance cookies — help us understand how visitors interact with the Site (pages visited, session duration, traffic sources) so that we can improve its performance and quality. These are only set with your consent.
- Third-party cookies — may be set by external services embedded in the Site (see Section 5). These are also only activated with your consent where required by law.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies in Detail
The following technologies are currently used on the Site:
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cookieDecision | GS-Leasing GmbH | Stores your cookie consent choice (accepted / rejected) so that the consent banner is not shown again. | Until revoked or deleted | Local Storage (strictly necessary) |
| NID and related cookies | Google Ireland Ltd. | Set by the embedded Google Maps map to display our company location and remember map preferences. | Up to 6 months | Third-party cookie |

5. Third-Party Services
The Site embeds Google Maps (provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) to display our company location. When the map is loaded, Google may process your IP address and set cookies on your device. Data may be transferred to servers of Google LLC in the United States; such transfers are covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Details can be found in Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
6. Your Consent and How to Withdraw It
When you first visit the Site, a consent banner allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Rejecting cookies has no negative consequences: the Site continues to operate with its strictly necessary functions only. You may change or withdraw your decision at any time with effect for the future by deleting the entry "cookieDecision" in your browser's Local Storage for this Site (or by clearing your browser data) and reloading the page — the consent banner will then be displayed again.
7. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can also configure your browser to block or delete cookies in general. Instructions are available in the help sections of common browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge). Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect certain features of the Site; blocking analytics or advertising cookies will not affect its core functionality.
8. Your Rights Under the GDPR

- request access to your personal data (Art. 15 GDPR);
- request rectification or erasure of your data (Art. 16, 17 GDPR);
- request restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR);

9. Data Retention
Cookie and storage durations are listed in Section 4. Session-based data is deleted when the browser session ends; consent information is kept until you withdraw or change your decision. Anonymized analytical data may be retained longer for statistical purposes.
