  1. ONLINE MARKETING

10.1 DoubleClick by Google

This website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google, operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“DoubleClick”).

DoubleClick uses cookies to display ads that are relevant to users, to improve reports on campaign performance, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Using a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown more than once. The processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser’s website with the same browser and makes a purchase there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google’s server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data that is collected through the use of this tool by Google and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or not logged in, it is possible that the provider may learn and store your IP address.

If you wish to object to participation in this tracking process, you can deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, whereby this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies. Alternatively, you can inform yourself about the setting of cookies at the Digital Advertising Alliance website www.aboutads.info and make settings for this. Finally, you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually whether to accept them or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. If cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be limited.

Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement, which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.

10.2 Use of Google AdWords Conversion Tracking

This website uses the online advertising program “Google AdWords” and, within the framework of Google AdWords, the conversion tracking of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

We use the services of Google AdWords to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising media (so-called Google AdWords). In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. In doing so, we pursue the interest of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an AdWords ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to personally identify you. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across AdWords customers’ websites.

The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can block this use by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie in your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

We use Google AdWords on the basis of our legitimate interest in targeted advertising pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement, which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.

Further information on Google’s data protection regulations can be found at:

You can permanently deactivate cookies for advertising preferences by preventing them by setting your browser software accordingly or by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:

Please note that certain functions of this website may not be available or may be limited if you have deactivated the use of cookies.


  1. WEB ANALYTICS SERVICES

Google (Universal) Analytics – Google Universal Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including the shortened IP address) is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”, which ensures anonymization of the IP address by truncation and excludes a direct personal reference. With this extension, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. In these exceptional cases, processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.

On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide us with other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, we would point out that if you do so, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link:

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

As an alternative to the browser plugin or within browsers on mobile devices, please click on the following link to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent future collection by Google Analytics within this website (this opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain; if you delete your cookies in this browser, you must click this link again): Deactivate Google Analytics

Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement, which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.

This website also uses Google Analytics for a device-independent analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out via a user ID. When a page is accessed for the first time, the user is assigned a unique, permanent and anonymized ID that is set across devices. This makes it possible to assign interaction data from different devices and from different sessions to a single user. The user ID does not contain any personal data and also does not transmit such data to Google.

You can object to the collection and storage of data via the user ID at any time with effect for the future. For this purpose, you must deactivate Google Analytics on all systems that you use, for example in another browser or on your mobile device.

You can deactivate it using a browser plugin from Google (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). As an alternative to the browser plugin or within browsers on mobile devices, please click on the following link to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent future collection by Google Analytics within this website (this opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain; if you delete your cookies in this browser, you must click this link again): Deactivate Google Analytics

  1. RETARGETING / REMARKETING / REFERRAL ADVERTISING

Facebook Custom Audience via pixel method

This website uses the “Facebook Pixel” of Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Facebook”). If express consent has been given, user behavior can be tracked after users have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. This procedure is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help to optimize future advertising measures.

The data collected is anonymous to us and therefore does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook’s Data Use Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). You can enable Facebook and its partners to place advertisements on and outside of Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes. These processing operations only take place if express consent is granted in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Consent to the use of the Facebook Pixel may only be declared by users who are over 13 years of age. If you are younger, we ask you to ask your legal guardians for permission.

Facebook Inc., based in the USA, is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement, which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.

The processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Further data processing only takes place if you have agreed with Google that your internet and app browsing history will be linked to your Google account and information from your Google account will be used to personalize ads you view on the web.

For this purpose, your personal data is temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data to form target groups.

You can permanently deactivate the setting of cookies for ad preferences by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/

Alternatively, you can find out about the setting of cookies and make settings for this at the Digital Advertising Alliance website www.aboutads.info.
