Use of Google Analytics
We use the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google LLC. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google") on our website. If you are habitually resident in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the controller responsible for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the company affiliated with Google that is responsible for processing your data and complying with applicable data protection laws.
Data processing serves the purpose of analysing this website and its visitors as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. To this end, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide further services associated with website use and internet use to the website operator. The following information may be collected, among others: IP address, date and time of page view, click path, information about the browser and device you are using, visited pages, referrer URL (website from which you accessed our website), location data, purchase activities. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Google Analytics uses technologies such as cookies, browser web storage and tracking pixels, which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by these about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. There is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for the USA. Data transfer takes place, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as suitable guarantees for the protection of personal data, which can be viewed at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks (https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks) and https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms/.

Your data may be linked by Google with other data, such as your search history, your personal accounts, your usage data from other devices and all other data Google holds about you.
IP anonymisation is activated on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated 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 transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
The processing of your personal data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in the needs-based and targeted design of the website.

Use of Facebook Pixel
We use the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" from Facebook Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland "Facebook") on our website.
Facebook Ireland and we are joint controllers for the collection of your data and the transfer of this data to Facebook when the service is integrated. This is based on an agreement between us and Facebook Ireland on the joint processing of personal data, which defines the respective responsibilities. The agreement can be accessed at https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum (https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum). According to this, we are in particular responsible for fulfilling the information obligations pursuant to Art. 13, 14 GDPR, for complying with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR with regard to the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service, and for complying with the obligations under Art. 33, 34 GDPR, insofar as a personal data breach affects our obligations under the joint processing agreement. Facebook Ireland is responsible for enabling data subject rights according to Art. 15 - 20 GDPR, for complying with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR with regard to the security of the service, and for complying with the obligations under Art. 33, 34 GDPR, insofar as a personal data breach affects Facebook Ireland's obligations under the joint processing agreement.
The application serves the purpose of targeting website visitors with interest-based advertising on the Facebook social network. For this purpose, the Facebook remarketing tag has been implemented on the website. When visiting the website, this tag establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. This transmits to the Facebook server which of our pages you have visited. Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. When you visit the Facebook social network, you will then be shown personalised, interest-based Facebook ads.
Your data may be transferred to the USA. There is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for the USA. Data transfer takes place, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as suitable guarantees for the protection of personal data, which can be viewed at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum (https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum).

Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking
On our website, we use the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, in this context, conversion tracking (visitor action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). If you are habitually resident in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the controller responsible for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the company affiliated with Google that is responsible for processing your data and complying with applicable data protection laws.
If you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and therefore do not serve for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Thus, it is not possible for cookies to be tracked across the websites of Ads customers.
The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie serves the purpose of creating conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that allows users to be personally identified.
Your data may be transferred to the USA. There is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for the USA. Data transfer takes place, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as suitable guarantees for the protection of personal data, which can be viewed at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks (https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks) and https://business.safety.google/adscontrollerterms/ (https://business.safety.google/adscontrollerterms/).

Alternatively, you can prevent the use of cookies by third parties by visiting the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative (Network Advertising Initiative) at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ (https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/) and implementing the further information on opt-out mentioned there.

The data processing serves the purpose of renting advertising space on the website and targeting website visitors with interest-based advertising on these. Through this function, personalised, interest-based advertising ads from the Google Display Network are displayed to visitors of the provider's website. Google uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of the website.
