Analysis Advertising
Use of the Google Analytics
Our website uses the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google LLC. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043,
USA; "Google"). If you are ordinarily 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
responsible for processing your data and for compliance with the applicable data protection legislation.
The processing of data serves to analyse this website and its visitors and for marketing and advertising purposes. Google will use this
information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to
provide other services to the website operator relating to website and internet use. In this process the following information, inter alia, can
be collected: IP address, date and time of the website access, click path, information on the browser and the device you are using, the
pages visited, referrer URL (website via which you accessed our website), location data, purchasing activities. The IP address transmitted
from your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not associated with any other data held by Google. Google Analytics uses
technology such as cookies, web storage in the browser, and tracking pixels which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The
information generated by these regarding your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. IP
anonymisation is activated on this website.
Google uses this to shorten your IP address beforehand within Member States of the European Union or in other signatories to the
Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA
and shortened there.
The data processing, particularly the placing of cookies, is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our overriding legitimate
interest in the needs-based and targeted design of the website. On grounds relating to your particular situation, you have the right to
object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you and carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
You can also prevent the collection of the data (including your IP address) generated by Google Analytics and related to your use of the
website by 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=en]. To prevent the data collection and storage by Google Analytics across
multiple devices you can place an opt-out cookie. Opt-out cookies prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. You
need to implement the opt-out on all systems and devices that you are using, so that this works comprehensively. If you delete the opt-out
cookie, requests will be transmitted to Google again. When you click here the opt-out cookie will be placed: Deactivate Google Analytics.

Use of Facebook Pixel
Our website uses the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" by Facebook Inc. (1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA;
"Facebook").
This application serves to address the visitor to the website with interest-related advertising on the social network Facebook.
We have implemented Facebook’s remarketing tag on our website for this purpose. This tag sets up a direct connection to Facebook’s
servers when you visit our website. This informs the Facebook server which of our web pages you have visited. Facebook assigns this
information to your personal Facebook user account. When you visit the social network Facebook you will then be shown personalised,
interest-related Facebook ads.
Your data may be transmitted to the USA.
The data processing, particularly the placing of cookies, is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our overriding legitimate
interest in addressing visitors to the website with targeted, interest-related advertising. On grounds relating to your particular situation,
you have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you and carried out in accordance with

Use of Google Ads conversion tracking

tracking is a service operated by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google").
If you are ordinarily 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 responsible for
processing your data and for compliance with the applicable data protection legislation.
If you click on adverts placed by Google, a cookie is placed on your computer for conversion tracking. These cookies have limited validity,
do not contain any personal data and thus cannot be used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the
cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that you have clicked on the advert and were forwarded to this page. Every
Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. It is therefore not possible to track cookies relating to the websites of Ads customers.
The information collected using the conversion cookie serves the purpose of producing conversion statistics. This allows us to find out the
total number of users who have clicked on our adverts and were forwarded to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag. However,
they do not receive any information with which could be used to personally identify users.
Your data may be transmitted to the USA.
The data processing, particularly the placing of cookies, is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our overriding legitimate
interest in addressing visitors to the website with targeted, interest-related advertising. On grounds relating to your particular situation,
you have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you and carried out in accordance with
Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
You can deactivate personalised advertising in Google’s advertising settings. Instructions for this can be found at

Alternatively, you can prevent the use of cookies by third parties by calling up the Network Advertising Initiative deactivation page at

You then won’t be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

with targeted, interest-related advertising.
This function displays personalised, interest-related adverts from the Google display network to visitors to the website. Google Analytics
uses cookies, which make it possible to analyse your use of the website.
The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored
there. Google may also transmit this data to third parties if this is required by law or the third party is processing the data on behalf of
Google. On no account will Google associate your IP address with other Google data.
The data processing, particularly the placing of cookies, is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our overriding legitimate
interest in addressing visitors to the website with targeted, interest-related advertising. On grounds relating to your particular situation,
