Subject to your consent, this website uses Adobe Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited (4-6 Riverwalk, City West Business Campus, Saggart, Dublin 24, Ireland) (Adobe"). In for this purpose, a cookie is installed on your device. This cookie will collect data such as information about your browser and device, your IP address, the websites visited and the date and time of the server request for the purpose of evaluating your use of the site of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website provider.
Adobe (as the operator) may use your data for any of its own purposes, such as creating profiles and matching your data with other data collected about you (for example, through your Adobe account).
The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and processed by Adobe on servers in the United Kingdom. For this transfer of data from a third country, an adequate level of data protection is ensured by standard contractual clauses, art. 46 GDPR, pending an adequacy decision from the European Commission (art. 45 GDPR).
We have enabled IP anonymization, which means that the last byte (last portion) of the IP address is immediately hidden when the IP address is collected by Adobe. This anonymization is done before any IP address processing. Only an approximate location will be available for statistical analysis purposes. After the geo-lookup, everywhere in Analytics the IP addresses are obfuscated - replaced by :: X.X.X.X.X.
By allowing cookies on the Henkel website, you agree to the above-mentioned data use and processing described above by Adobe.

Inserts ("inserts") from various social networks are embedded in our web pages. The associated services are provided by the respective companies ("Providers"). These providers are:
Facebook, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). For an overview of Facebook plugins and their appearance, go to: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins
Twitter, operated by Twitter Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA ("Twitter"). For an overview of Twitter buttons and their appearance, go to: https://twitter.com/about/resources/buttons
Google+ and YouTube are provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountainview, California 94043, USA ("Google"). For an overview of Google+ plugins and their appearance, go to: https://developers.google.com/+/web/; for YouTube embeds, go to: https://developers.google.com/youtube/subscribe/
Instagram is provided by Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Instagram"). For an overview of Instagram badges and their layout, visit: http://blog.instagram.com/post/36222022872/introducing-instagram-badges
LinkedIn is provided by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("LinkedIn"). For overview of LinkedIn plugins and their layout, go to: https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins#
To increase the protection of your data when you visit our websites, these inserts are implemented as "double-click buttons". This form of integration ensures that when you access a page on our website that contains such inserts, you are not automatically connected to the providers' servers. The browser will only create a direct link to the provider's servers if you enable these plugins and thus allow data transmission. In this case, the content of the various inserts is transmitted by the respective provider directly to your browser and is then displayed on your screen.
The insert tells the provider which of our internet pages you have accessed. If, while visiting our website, you are logged in to your user account for that provider, it can match your interests, i.e. the information you access, with your user account. When you use any of the functions of the inserts (for example, clicking on the "Like" button, leaving comments), this information will also be transmitted by the browser directly to the provider for storage.
You can find more information about the collection and use of data by the providers and the rights and possibilities you have to protect your privacy in these circumstances in the data protection/privacy statements of the providers:
