advertising tracking


Use of Google Ads conversion tracking
We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on our website and, in this context, conversion tracking (evaluation of visits). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). If you have your habitual residence in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the company affiliated with Google, which is responsible for the processing of your data and compliance with the applicable data protection laws.
If you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie will be placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. As a result, there is no way that cookies can be tracked through Ads customers' websites.
The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.
Your data may be transmitted to the USA. There is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for the USA. The data transmission 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).
The use of cookies or comparable technologies is based on § 15 paragraph 3 sentence 1 TMG. The processing of your personal data takes place on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit.

You can deactivate personalized advertising for you in the settings for advertising at Google. Instructions for this can be found at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de (https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de)
Alternatively, you can prevent third-party cookies from being used by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ (https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/). and implement the further information on the opt-out mentioned there. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

Use of social plug-ins using the "2-click solution"
We use social network plug-ins on our website using the "2-click solution". No connections to the servers of the social networks will be established without your express consent and consequently no data will be transmitted.
With the standard integration of plug-ins, when you visit the pages of our website that contain such a plug-in, a link is established between your computer and the servers of the social network provider and the plug-in is activated by a message to your browser shown on the page. Both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's server. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Transmission also takes place for users who are not registered or not logged in. If you are also logged into the social network Facebook, this information will be assigned to your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. by pressing the button), this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. So that you retain control of your data, we have decided to initially deactivate the corresponding button. You can recognize this by the greyed out button. Without your express consent - in the form of activating the button - no link to the server of the social network will be established and consequently no data will be transmitted.
Only when you activate the button does the button become active (highlighted in color) and a direct connection to the servers of the social network is established.
By activating you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective provider of the social network. Here, among other things, both your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your user accounts on the social networks before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.
