Essential cookies, also referred to as "strictly necessary" cookies, ensure functions without which you would not be able to use this website as intended. These cookies are used exclusively by BMW and are therefore so-called first-party cookies. They are only stored on your user device during the current browser session. Essential cookies ensure, for example, that when you open the vehicle configurator you are shown a version where the bandwidth-related data volume corresponds to that of the internet connection you are using. When switching sites, for example, such cookies also ensure the functionality of a change from http to https and thus compliance with increased security requirements for data transfer. Last but not least, a cookie such as this also saves your decision with regard to the use of cookies on our website. Your consent is not required for the use of essential cookies.

Essential cookies cannot be disabled using the function of this site. In general, you can disable cookies in your browser at any time.

Examples of cookies not requiring consent / list of cookies not requiring consent

Cookies that are not essential to be able to use the website in line with the above definition perform important tasks. Without these cookies, functions that enable convenient surfing on our website, for example pre-completed forms, are no longer available. The settings you have made cannot be stored and must therefore be queried anew on each page. Furthermore, we have no possibility to adjust to you with individually adapted offers.

BMW also integrates content from third parties in this website. Examples of this are the integration of YouTube videos. These third-party providers can theoretically set cookies while you are visiting the BMW website, obtaining the information that you have opened a BMW website, for example. Please visit the websites of third-party providers to obtain more information regarding their use of cookies. If you have decided as a general principle not to give your consent to the use of cookies that require consent, to revoke consent that has been given, or to deactivate cookies, based on our legitimate interest, to get performed at your initial page view (cf. “Performance Cookies”) you are only provided with the functionalities of our website where we can guarantee use without these cookies. Areas of our website that potentially offer the technical possibility to integrate third-party content and therefore to set third-party cookies are not available to you in this case. You are informed of this by a corresponding prompt. If you nonetheless wish to use the content of the website in such a case, this is only possible if you agree to use cookies requiring consent. Activate the consent function available at the respective position on our website.

In the same way as most websites you visit, www.bmw.com.cy also uses cookies to improve the user experience for both oneoff and repeated visits to the website. This enables you for example to switch quickly and easily between pages, to save your vehicle configuration and to use GoogleMaps services.

Cookies are set either by our website (first-party cookies) or by other websites from which content appears on our website (third-party cookies). These third-party providers can set cookies when you are logged in to their sites and visit our website. BMW AG has no influence on the cookie settings of these websites. Please visit the websites of third-party providers to obtain more information regarding their use of cookies.

Our website uses Adobe technology to collect information as to how users interact with the website and its content. These performance cookies get set at initial website call and are based on our legitimate interest to better understand our visitors’ usage of the website for further adaptation and modification purposes. You can de-activate these cookies at any given time, in the footer section of the website or within your browser setup.

Within the framework of the application of Adobe, the data are collected by means of Adobe Analytics and Adobe Dynamic Tag Management and are anonymized, processed, and stored in Adobe data centers in Europe. If you wish to object to the complete data acquisition by Adobe, you can do so by using the button provided above or running the opt-out process on the Adobe website and thus declare your objection: http://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/opt-out.html

If you wish to have a complete Adobe opt-out as performance cookies, you can do so via the button provided above.

If you delete all of your cookies, you have to run the opt-out process once again especially for Adobe performance cookies, as in this case the opt-out function you have selected is no longer documented. This also applies if you visit this website from other user devices. If your security settings are too high and the cookie is blocked, we cannot act on your opt-out request. In this case, this is pointed out to you and you should repeat the opt-out process with lower security settings.

Within the framework of the BMW AG internet site at the domain www.bmw.com.cy, so-called social plug-ins of the social network www.facebook.com are used. This is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). These plug-ins are marked with a Facebook logo.

If you activate the inactive Facebook Plug-in on the internet site of BMW AG under the domain www.bmw.com.cy, your browser sets up a direct connection to the servers of Facebook. The content of the plug-in is transferred by Facebook directly to your browser and then integrated in the website.

The integration of the plug-ins means Facebook receives the information that you have opened the corresponding page of the BMW AG internet site. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to your Facebook account. As soon as you interact with the plug-ins, for example by clicking the "Like" button, the corresponding information is sent from your browser directly to Facebook and stored there. The purpose and scope of the data acquisition and other processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as your rights and setting options in this respect to protect your private sphere can be found in the data protection information provided by Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

If you do not want Facebook to use our internet site to collect data about you, you must not activate the inactive Facebook Social Plug- when visiting the BMW AG internet site at the domain www.bmw.com.cy.
