Deactivating cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

Technically required cookies

By technically required cookies we mean cookies without those the technical provision of the online service cannot be ensured. Without these cookies, essential services could not be provided, like a smooth reproduction of video or audio footage. We also assign so called ‘functional cookies’ belonging to this category, since functional cookies store information that you have already entered on a specific website (e.g. language selection) in order to provide you comfortable use of our online services.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data by means of cookies of this category is Infineon's legitimate interest, provided that personal data are subject to the processing. This includes, among other things, the interest in a professional external presentation as well as an optimal balancing of the loads on the server due to technical reasons.

Performance and marketing cookies

We use performance and marketing cookies as well as similar technologies only if you have given us your prior consent.

With such mechanisms, we collect information about how users interact with our website and which pages have been visited. This helps us to understand user activity on our website.

Performance cookies are only used for statistical purposes to improve the performance of the website and to tailor the online experience of our users. These cookies do not collect or store any information that can be directly linked to you as a person.

Our marketing cookies and similar tracking mechanisms may collect and process personal data about you, if you have previously told us who you are (e.g. by personal login to one of our services) and given us your consent before or may collect personal data about you under using a pseudonym. This helps us to provide you relevant product and marketing content according to your specific needs. The advantage is also to learn more about your needs and interests, so that our selected distributors and partners can provide you with optimal sales support on demand.

Please note that cookies placed on our website by selected third parties for performance and marketing purposes are subject to their control. Consequently, users who visit the Infineon website and accept cookies of this category are also customers of these third parties and consent to their use to Infineon and the third party provider. Detailed information on cookies of this category and the respective third-party provider can be found below.

On this website we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google").

Google analyses your use of this website on behalf of Infineon. For this purpose, the following data are collected and transmitted to a Google server in the USA, which is not currently considered a safe third country, where the data are stored, analyzed and made available to us in anonymous form: information about your use of this website, the type and version of browser you use, the operating system you use, your language settings, the date and time of your query and the referrer URL (previously visited website). Google places a permanent cookie in your Internet browser for this purpose. With the help of this cookie, it is also possible to recognize your browser when you visit this website again.

We have activated the IP anonymization function offered by Google on this website so that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or the EEA (European Economic Area) and only transmitted to the USA in anonymized form. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google might use this data for its own purposes, such as profiling, and might link it to other data, such as Google accounts. We have contractually agreed appropriate security measures with Google for these cases.

The IP address of your browser, which is collected by Google Analytics, is not merged with other data from Google.

We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our website and to improve it regularly. The statistics obtained allow us to improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user.

Additionally, we use the data collected by Google Analytics together with Google Optimize, a sub-service of Google Analytics. With the help of an additional cookie, Google Optimize enables us to display different versions of our website and test the reaction of the users to it. This data is statistically analyzed by us in order to improve the user experience and usability of our website.

You can generally revoke your consent to web analysis by Google at any time by downloading and installing the available Google browser plug-in. This option prevents web analysis only as long as you use a browser on which you have installed the plugin and as long as you do not delete the opt-out cookie.

Further information on data protection and the security of your data at Google Analytics can be found here. Please also read Google's privacy policy.

The Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows us to implement, trigger and manage so-called website tags via an interface. Therefore, we can integrate Google Analytics and other services (which also may collect data) into our online offering. The Tag Manager itself does not process any personal user data.

This website uses Google Ads (a service of Google) and Microsoft Advertising (a service of Microsoft) for conversion tracking. When you click an advertisement placed by Google or Microsoft, a conversion tracking cookie is set. This enables Google or Microsoft and us to recognize that someone has clicked an ad, was transferred to our website, and reached a predetermined target site (landing page). We only learn the total number of users who clicked on a Google or Microsoft ad and were transferred to the conversion site. No personal information about the user’s identity is disclosed.

If you are not interested in the services of Google Ads and/or Microsoft Advertising in general, you can object to their use by deactivating cookies in your browser settings. More information about data protection can be found under the following links:

Our website uses the remarketing or "similar target groups" function of Google Inc. ("Google").

This allows us to target visitors to our website with personalizes, interest-based advertisements when they visit other websites in the Google Display Network. Google uses "cookies" to analyze how users use the site, which is the basis for creating interest-based advertising. For this purpose Google stores a small file with a sequence of numbers in the browsers of our website visitors. This number is used to record visits to our website and anonymous data on the use of the website. There is no storage of personal data about the visitors of our website. If you visit another website in the Google Display Network, you will see advertisements that most likely include previously viewed product and information areas. You are and remain anonymous to us throughout the entire process. If you have given Google permission to do so, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google Account. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every device you sign in to with your Google Account. Google's authentication mechanisms used for this purpose are not shared with us. Google is solely responsible for this.

You can permanently deactivate the use of cookies by Google by following the link below and downloading and installing the plug-in provided there:

Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will save your IP address and other identification features. The Facebook pixel enables the measurement, evaluation and optimization of the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for both statistical and market research purposes. We only receive reports from Facebook in an anonymous, aggregated format.
