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 display ads relevant to users, to improve reports on campaign performance, or to avoid users seeing the same ad multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown multiple times. Processing takes place 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 record conversions related to ad requests using cookie IDs. 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 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 Google collects through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our internet presence or clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, it is possible that the provider obtains and stores your IP address.
If you wish to object to participating 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). This setting is deleted when you delete your cookies. Alternatively, you can obtain information about the setting of cookies and make settings at the Digital Advertising Alliance (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.

10.2 Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program “Google Ads” and, within Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising media (so‑called Google Ads). In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. Our interest is to display advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.
The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. These cookies usually expire 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 ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. 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 that personally identifies users.
We use Google Ads on the basis of our legitimate interest in targeted advertising in accordance with 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 “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 truncated IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the “_anonymizeIp()” extension, which ensures anonymization of the IP address by truncation and excludes 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 is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. In these exceptional cases, processing takes place 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 the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; 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 the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to 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
As an alternative to the browser plug‑in or within browsers on mobile devices, please click the following link to set an opt‑out cookie that will prevent future collection by Google Analytics within this website (this opt‑out cookie works only in this browser and only for this domain; if you delete your cookies in this browser, you must click this link again): Disable Google Analytics
Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified under the EU‑US Privacy Shield, which ensures compliance with the data protection level 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 different devices and from different sessions to a single user. The user ID does not contain any personal data and does not transmit such data to Google.
You can object to the collection and storage via the user ID at any time with effect for the future. To do this, you must deactivate Google Analytics on all systems you use, for example in another browser or on your mobile device. You can carry out deactivation using a Google browser plug‑in (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). As an alternative to the browser plug‑in or within browsers on mobile devices, please click the following link to set an opt‑out cookie that will prevent future collection by Google Analytics within this website (this opt‑out cookie works only in this browser and only for this domain; if you delete your cookies in this browser, you must click this link again): Disable Google Analytics

12) RETARGETING/REMARKETING/REFERRAL ADVERTISING
Facebook Custom Audience via the pixel method
This website uses the “Facebook pixel” of Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Facebook”). If express consent is granted, this enables the behavior of users to be tracked after they have seen or clicked a Facebook ad. This process serves to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help optimize future advertising measures.
The data collected is anonymous to us, so 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 the Facebook Data Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This allows 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 are carried out solely with express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Consent to the use of the Facebook pixel may only be declared by users who are older than 13 years of age. If you are younger, please ask your legal guardians for permission.
Facebook Inc., based in the USA, is certified under the EU‑US Privacy Shield, which ensures compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.
To disable the use of cookies on your computer, you can set your internet browser so that cookies can no longer be stored in the future or cookies that have already been stored are deleted. Disabling all cookies may mean that some functions on our websites can no longer be executed.
