Last updated on June 9, 2026
This Cookie Policy describes how Ravensberger Schmierstoffvertrieb GmbH (“Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://ravenolracingteam.de/ (“Website”). Reading this information will help you understand what these technologies are, why we use them, and what rights you have to control their use.
Cookies can be used to collect personal data or to provide information that, in combination with other information, can become personal data. Data is considered personal if it is capable of identifying an individual.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. Website operators use them to make their websites functional, more appealing and efficient, and to obtain (statistical) analyses of website usage.
Cookies set by the website operator (in this case, Ravensberger Schmierstoffvertrieb GmbH) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by other parties or third parties are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable the provision of functionalities from third-party providers on the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). Third-party providers can use third-party cookies to recognize your device both when you visit the website in question and when you visit certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for various reasons. Some cookies are technically necessary for our website to function, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also allow us to infer our users’ interests and target them again to provide more relevant content—especially advertising. Third parties use cookies on our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject the use of cookies. In the Cookie Consent Manager, you can set your preferences on your first visit and change them at any time. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to allow or disable individual categories of cookies. “Necessary” cookies cannot be rejected, as they are essential for providing you with a functioning website.
The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our website. If you choose to decline cookies, you can still use our website, although your access to some features and areas may be limited. You can also configure or modify your web browser to accept or decline cookies.
The specific types of first-party and third-party cookies used on our website, as well as their purposes, are described in the table below (please note that the specific cookies used may vary depending on the specific content and web pages you visit):
Performance and Functionality Cookies
These cookies are used to improve the performance and functionality of our website, but are not strictly necessary for its use. However, without these cookies, certain features (such as videos) may no longer be available.
Unclassified Cookies
These are cookies that have not yet been categorized. We are currently classifying these cookies with the help of their providers.

What about other tracking technologies like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize and identify visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, such as web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear GIFs”). These are tiny graphic files that contain a unique identifier, which allows us to recognize whether someone has visited our website or opened an email containing one. This allows us, for example, to identify patterns in how users navigate within a page, deliver or interact with cookies, determine whether you arrived at the website via an advertisement displayed on a third-party website, improve website performance, and measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many cases, these technologies rely on cookies to function properly, so rejecting cookies will impair their functionality.

Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use so-called “Flash cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) to collect and store information about your use of our services, to prevent fraud, and to enable other website features.
If you do not want Flash cookies to be stored on your computer, you can adjust your Flash Player settings to block the storage of Flash cookies using the tools in the Website storage settings panel. You can also control Flash cookies by accessing the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (the instructions may explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash cookies, how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your permission, and—for Flash Player 8 and later—how to block Flash cookies that are not provided by the operator of the website you are currently visiting).
Please note that configuring Flash Player to restrict or limit the acceptance of Flash cookies may impair or interfere with the functionality of some Flash applications, including potentially Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.
These instructions may explain how to delete existing Flash cookies, prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your permission, and—for Flash Player 8 and later—how to block Flash cookies that are not provided by the operator of the website you are currently visiting.
Do you show targeted advertising?
Third parties may place cookies on your computer or mobile device to display advertisements through our website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites to offer you relevant advertisements for goods and services that may be of interest to you. They may also use technologies to measure the effectiveness of the advertising. This may be done by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other websites, infer your presumed interests, and display relevant advertisements to you. The information collected in this way does not allow us or the providers to determine your name, contact details, or other information that directly identifies you unless you voluntarily provide it.
How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. To get an up-to-date overview of our use of cookies and related technologies, please read this Cookie Policy.
The date at the beginning of this Cookie Policy is the date of the last update.
