Google cookies for Google Fonts, Maps, and reCAPTCHA features are examples of Essential cookies on our Websites:


a) Google Fonts, Maps, reCAPTCHA:

This site uses so-called web fonts of the provider Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA for the uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you are using has to connect to the servers of Google. This informs Google that our Websites was accessed via your IP address. Your computer will use a standard font if your browser does not support web fonts.

One feature available to you as a user of our Websites is a map showing BSH locations worldwide. We use Google Maps to display this map. Google Maps is a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. For the use of the functions of Google Maps it is necessary to store your IP address.

We also use Google Maps to enable the location feature on our “Find your dealer” webpage in order to locate your nearest dealer. In order to enable this location feature, you must decide to opt-in by clicking “Allow” when prompted on our “Find your dealer” webpage. Alternatively, you can decide to locate your nearest dealer on our “Find your dealer” webpage by manually entering your address.

In certain cases, we use the reCAPTCHA service of the company Google LLC to ensure appropriate data security for the use of contact forms. This enables us to differentiate between inputs made by a natural person and those made fraudulently by machine or automated processing. The service includes the sending of the IP address and if necessary other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google.

For these services the information is usually transmitted to a server of Google LLC in the USA and saved there. You can find details on how Personal Data is processed by Google via the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
