We use so-called cookies on our websites. These are small text files that are stored on your end device with the help of your browser. Some cookies are technically necessary in order to display and execute the web pages correctly. All other cookies are optional and are only set after you have given your consent.
Of course, you can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time!
Your personal data is shared within the PALFINGER Group, so your data may be transferred to PALFINGER companies outside the European Union. Data protection agreements are in place to ensure the security of your data. A list of all subsidiaries can be found here.
Your personal data will be treated confidentially and processed in compliance with the applicable data protection laws.
