Use of Google Analytics
We use the Google Analytics web analysis service of Google Inc. on our website. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google").
Data processing serves the purpose of analysing this website and its visitors. To this end, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. IP anonymisation is activated on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Google has certified itself in accordance with the US-EU data protection agreement "Privacy Shield" and has thus undertaken to comply with the European data protection guidelines.
You can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link [https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de].

To prevent data collection and storage by Google Analytics across devices, you can set an opt-out cookie. Opt-out cookies prevent the future collection of your data when visiting this website. You must opt-out on all systems and devices used for this to be fully effective. If you delete the opt-out cookie, requests will be sent to Google again.
You can find more information on the terms of use and data protection at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/.

Google Analytics Remarketing
Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalised advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behaviour on one end device (e.g. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g. tablet or PC). If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalised advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you log in with your Google account. To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of users, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target groups for cross-device ad advertising.

• Privacy policy of Google
  Further information and the data protection regulations can be found in the Privacy policy of Google.
• Basis
  The aggregation of the collected data in your Google account is based exclusively on your consent, which you can give or revoke at Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). In the case of data collection processes that are not merged in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The legitimate interest results from the fact that we have an interest in the anonymised analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.
• Objection
  Although we declare legitimate interests in the use and storage of "conversion cookies", we offer you opt-out options. You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by Deactivate personalised advertising in your Google Account.

Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google Ads. Ads is an online advertising programme of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google").

Within the framework of Google Ads, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify the user. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across Ads clients' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Clients 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 that can be used to personally identify users.

• Privacy policy of Google
  You can find more information about Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking in the Privacy policy of Google.
• Basis
  The storage of "conversion cookies" is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. We have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both our website and our advertising.
• Opposition
  Although we declare legitimate interests in the use and storage of "conversion cookies", we offer you opt-out options. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. This way, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

Facebook Pixel, Facebook Custom Audiences and Facebook Conversion
The so-called "Facebook Pixel" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are a resident of the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"), is used within our online offer.

With the help of the Facebook pixel, it is possible for Facebook to determine you as a visitor to our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not have a harassing effect. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion").

• Privacy policy of Facebook
  The processing of data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook's data use policy. Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook ads, in Facebook's data usage policy. Specific information and details on the Facebook pixel and how it works can be found in Facebook's help section.
• EU-US Privacy Shield
  Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law.
• Basis
  The use of the Facebook Pixel and the storage of "conversion cookies" is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. We have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both our website and our advertising.
• Data processing contract
  For the processing of data for which Facebook acts as data processor, we have concluded a data processing contract with Facebook in which we oblige Facebook to protect our customers' data and not to pass it on to third parties.
• Objection
  Although we declare legitimate interests in the use of the Facebook pixel and the storage of "conversion cookies", we offer you opt-out options. You can object to the collection by the Facebook Pixel and use of your data to display Facebook ads. To adjust which types of ads are displayed to you within Facebook, you can visit the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there on the settings for usage-based advertising. The settings are platform-independent, meaning that they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices. You can further object to the use of cookies that are used for reach measurement and advertising purposes via the deactivation page of the network advertising initiative and additionally the USwebsite aboutads.info or the European website youronlinechoices.com.

This data is processed by Google within the European Union and may also be transmitted to the USA. Google has certified itself in accordance with the US-EU data protection agreement "Privacy Shield" and is thus obliged to comply with the European data protection guidelines.
