Cookie Statement

We (“BioNTech”) primarily use cookies to make your visit to our website, including its subdomains, as pleasant as possible. Additionally, cookies allow us to save preferences, conduct marketing activities, measure our website traffic, and implement security features.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device by our web application and enable us to recognize your Internet browser. We use the term cookies synonymously for pixels, tracking tools, and all types of cookies. Most Internet browsers are set to automatically accept cookies. However, you can deactivate this or set your Internet browser to inform you about the use of cookies. Please note that the functionality of our website may be impaired if you disable cookies in your browser.

In general, we use technically necessary cookies, performance cookies, advertising cookies and analytics cookies.

Some cookies are set by us (“first-party cookies”), while others are set by third-party providers (“third-party cookies”).

Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by our approved business partners on another website. This may be the case if content from other websites is embedded on a page, meaning that you may receive cookies from these websites. We have no control over the setting of third-party cookies and recommend that you read the privacy and cookie notices of these website providers to find out about them and how you can manage them.

Technically necessary cookies are required to enable core functions of the website and cannot be disabled in your systems. They are essential for providing the website's functions and features. In general, these cookies are only set in response to your actions that correspond to a service request, such as setting your cookie preferences, logging in, or filling out forms.

Performance cookies enable us to better understand visitor behavior on our website. They collect anonymous data such as page views, click behavior, and interactions with the website. In addition, they help us to conduct tests and optimizations, for example by displaying different versions of content to different users to find out which variant is most effective. In this way, they contribute to the continuous improvement of the user experience.

Cookies for advertising purposes are used to provide personalized advertising based on the user's interests and behavior. These may be set by third parties and are used to create a profile of your preferences on various websites.

Cookies for analysis purposes are used to collect information about user interactions and behavior on our website. For example, we use Google Analytics 4, which is used to measure BioNTech's website activity. This provides us with various usage data, such as the number of page views, the length of time spent on the site, information about the operating systems used and the origin of the user. By analyzing how our website is used and how often, we can better understand what you find useful.

The data is transferred to our contractual partners in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR based on a data processing agreement. The data may be transferred to third countries on the basis of the EU standard contractual clauses or specifically for transfers to the USA on the basis of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that ensures compliance with European data protection standards for data transfers to the USA.
