10) 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 serve advertisements relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to avoid a user seeing the same advertisement multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google records which advertisements are shown in which browser, and can thereby prevent them from being displayed multiple times. This processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.

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

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of data collected through Google's use of this tool, and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: through the integration of DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, it is possible that the provider may find out and store your IP address.

If you wish to object to participation in this tracking procedure, 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 will be deleted if you delete your cookies. Alternatively, you can inform yourself about the setting of cookies and make settings in this regard at the Digital Advertising Alliance at the internet address www.aboutads.info. Finally, you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually about their acceptance, 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 US-European "Privacy Shield" data protection agreement, which ensures compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU.

10.2 Use of Google AdWords conversion tracking

This website uses the online advertising program "Google AdWords" and, as part of Google AdWords, the conversion tracking of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). We use Google AdWords to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google AdWords). We can determine, in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, 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 advertisement placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. These cookies usually become invalid after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. 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 advertisement and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their advertisement and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that could be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block this use by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via 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 (1)(f) GDPR.

11) WEB ANALYTICS SERVICES

Google (Universal) Analytics – Google Universal Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service of 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 that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your shortened IP address) is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the "_anonymizeIp()" extension, which ensures the anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and excludes any direct personal reference. Through this extension, your IP address is shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. In these exceptional cases, this processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(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 further services related to website usage and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent the storage of cookies through a corresponding setting in your browser software; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to fully use all functions of this website. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Alternatively to the browser plug-in, or within browsers on mobile devices, please click the following link to set an opt-out cookie, which will prevent the 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 US-European "Privacy Shield" data protection agreement, which ensures compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU.

This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device 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, which is set across devices. This makes it possible to assign interaction data from various devices and different sessions to a single user. The user ID does not contain any personal data and does not transmit any such data to Google either.

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

You can deactivate it using a browser plug-in from Google (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). Alternatively to the browser plug-in, or within browsers on mobile devices, please click the following link to set an opt-out cookie, which 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

12) RETARGETING / REMARKETING / RECOMMENDATION ADVERTISING

Facebook Custom Audience via the pixel procedure

This website uses the "Facebook pixel" of Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Facebook"). If express consent is given, this can be used to track the behavior of users after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook advertisement. This procedure serves to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and can help optimize future advertising measures.

The data collected is anonymous to us, meaning it does not allow us to draw conclusions about the identity of 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/). This may allow 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 take place exclusively upon the granting of express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR.

Consent to the use of the Facebook pixel may only be given by users who are older than 13 years of age. If you are younger, please ask your parents or legal guardians for permission.

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