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 relevant advertisements to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent a user from seeing the same advertisements multiple times.

A cookie ID is used to record which advertisements are displayed in which browser, thereby enabling Google to prevent advertisements from being displayed repeatedly.

The 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 are related to advertising requests. This may occur, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick advertisement and later visits the advertiser's website using the same browser and makes a purchase.

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 over the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore provide information based on our current knowledge:

By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our advertisements. 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 obtain and store your IP address.

If you wish to object to participation in this tracking procedure, you can disable cookies for conversion tracking by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com:

https://www.google.de/settings/ads

This setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies.

Alternatively, you can obtain information about the use of cookies and manage your settings through the Digital Advertising Alliance at:

www.aboutads.info

Finally, you can configure 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 in certain cases or generally.

Please note that if cookies are not accepted, the functionality of the website may be restricted.

10.2 Use of Google AdWords Conversion Tracking

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

We use Google AdWords to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google AdWords) on external websites. In relation to the data from advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful individual advertising measures are.

Our aim is to show you advertising that is of interest to you, make our website more interesting for you, and achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The conversion-tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an advertisement placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. These cookies generally expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification.

If the user visits certain pages of this website while the cookie has not 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 therefore cannot be tracked across 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 containing a conversion-tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that can personally identify users.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block this use by disabling the Google conversion-tracking cookie through your Internet browser 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.

Google LLC, based in the USA, was certified under the EU-US “Privacy Shield” framework, which was intended to ensure compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU.

11) 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 and stored on a Google server in the USA.

This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”, which ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and excludes direct personal identification.

Through this extension, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted. 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 pursuant to 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, compile reports on website activity, and provide us with other services related to website and Internet usage.

The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent cookies from being stored by configuring your browser software accordingly. However, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website, including your IP address, and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at:

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

Alternatively, in browsers on mobile devices, you can click the following link to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website in the future. 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 the link again:

Disable Google Analytics

Google LLC, based in the USA, was certified under the EU-US “Privacy Shield” framework, which was intended to ensure compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU.

This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor flows using a User ID.

When a page is accessed for the first time, the user is assigned a unique, permanent and anonymized ID that is used across devices. This enables interaction data from different devices and sessions to be assigned to a single user.

The User ID does not contain personal data and does not transmit such data to Google.

You may object to the collection and storage of data through the User ID at any time with effect for the future.

To do so, you must disable Google Analytics on all systems you use, for example in another browser or on your mobile device.

You can disable it using Google's browser plugin:

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

Alternatively, in browsers on mobile devices, you can click the link mentioned above to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website in the future. 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 the link again.

Facebook Custom Audience using the pixel method

This website uses the “Facebook Pixel” provided by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Facebook”).

If express consent is given, this can be used to track user behavior after users have seen or clicked on a Facebook advertisement.

This procedure is used 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 that it does not allow us to draw conclusions about the identity of users. However, Facebook stores and processes the data, meaning that it may be linked to the respective user profile and Facebook may use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook's data usage policy:

https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/

Facebook and its partners may use this information to display advertisements on and outside Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively with your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

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

Facebook Inc., based in the USA, was certified under the EU-US “Privacy Shield” framework, which was intended to ensure compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU.
