LEGAL DISCLAIMER.

Cookies are small files which are temporarily installed on your hard drive. BMW AG uses cookies to keep track of users’ preferences and design the company’s websites to best meet users’ requirements. You can prevent cookies from being saved on your hard drive by selecting the appropriate setting on your browser – simply follow your particular browser’s instructions. Deactivating cookies could mean that you are no longer able to enjoy our websites in their entirety. Further information on the use of cookies on this website can be found here.

The information on these websites is provided ‘as is‘ and without warranty of any kind, expressed or implied, including (but not limited to) any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for any particular purpose, or non-infringement of third-party rights. While the information provided is believed to be accurate, it may include errors or inaccuracies. In no event shall BMW AG be liable to any person for any special, indirect or consequential damages relating to this material, unless caused by gross negligence or intentional misconduct. BMW AG is not responsible for the contents of websites that are maintained by third parties and therefore waives its liability for any links from this website to other websites.

One of the features of the BMW AG website on the www.bmw-welt.com domain is that it uses what are called social plugins (‘plugins‘) from the social network facebook.com, which are operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (‘Facebook‘). These plugins are indicated by a Facebook logo. When you access the BMW AG website on the www.bmw-welt.com domain, your browser establishes a direct connection with Facebook’s servers.

The content of the plugin is transferred by Facebook directly to your browser, which then integrates it into the website. Integration of the plugin causes Facebook to receive the information that you have accessed on the corresponding page of the BMW AG website. If you are logged in with Facebook, it will be able to assign your visit to your Facebook account. Please note that an exchange of this information already takes place when you visit our website on the www.bmw-welt.com domain, regardless of whether you interact with the plugin or not. If you interact with the plugins, such as by pressing the ‘Like‘ button, the corresponding information is sent directly to Facebook by your browser and saved there. You can find information on the purpose and extent of data collection, as well as on how the data is processed further and used by Facebook, together with your rights and optional settings to protect your private sphere, in Facebook’s data protection notices:

If you do not want Facebook to gather data about you via our website on the www.bmw-welt.com domain, you must log out of Facebook before visiting the BMW AG website.

In addition to other methods, this website makes use of small text files – so-called cookies – to collect data on how website users interact with the website and its content. This data is used by the website operator to ensure that the website creates added value for visitors, for example by providing content which is adapted to users’ needs. There is no adverse effect on users’ security or privacy. The information is not used to identify users of the website, nor is it collated with the details of individual users.

If you wish to block data collection entirely you can click on the links below.

We will then deactivate all data collection functions on this website. Please bear in mind that this opt-out process necessarily involves your browser generating a cookie which displays your preference for deactivation. If you delete all cookies, the opt-out process has to be repeated; likewise, this applies if you visit the website from other computers. We are unable to carry out the opt-out request if your security settings are too high and cookies are blocked. In this event, you will receive a message to this effect, after which you should repeat the opt-out process with lower security settings.

If you wish to opt out of data collection by Adobe entirely, you may do so by completing the opt-out process on the Adobe website:
