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 campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google records which ads are displayed in which browser via a cookie ID 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 in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.

DoubleClick can also use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later calls up the advertiser’s website with the same browser and purchases something there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any 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 collected by Google using 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 website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can 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 will obtain and store your IP address.

If you wish to object to participation 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 will be deleted if you delete your cookies.) Alternatively, you can obtain information about the setting of cookies from the Digital Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info and make settings for this. Finally, you can adjust your browser settings so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and individually decide whether to accept them, or exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general. If cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be restricted.

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

We use the services of Google AdWords to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising material (so-called Google AdWords). In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. Our interest is in showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files placed on your computer system. These cookies usually lose their validity 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 has clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore 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. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block this use by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user 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 in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.

11) WEB ANALYTICS SERVICES

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 so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that 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 usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”, which ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it 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 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. In these exceptional cases, processing takes place in accordance with 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 other services relating to website activity and internet usage to us. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part 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 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 plug-in available at the following link:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

As an alternative to the browser plug-in or in browsers on mobile devices, please click on 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 will have to click this link again): Deactivate Google Analytics

Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified under the EU-US “Privacy Shield” data protection agreement, which ensures compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU.

This website also uses Google Analytics for a device-independent analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out via a user ID. When a page is visited for the first time, the user is assigned a unique, permanent and anonymized ID that is set across devices. This enables interaction data from different devices and sessions to be assigned to a single user. The user ID does not contain any personal data and does not transmit any such data to Google.

You can object to the data collection and storage via the user ID at any time with effect for the future. For this you must deactivate Google Analytics on all systems that you use, such as a different browser or your mobile device.

Deactivation can be carried out using a browser plug-in from Google (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). As an alternative to the browser plug-in or in browsers on mobile devices, please click on 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 will have to click this link again): Deactivate Google Analytics

Facebook Custom Audience via the Pixel Method

This website uses the “Facebook Pixel” provided by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Facebook”). With the explicit consent of the user, this allows user behavior to be tracked after a user has viewed or clicked on a Facebook ad. This procedure is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and may help to optimize future advertising measures.

The data collected is anonymous for us, therefore it does not allow us to draw any 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 Facebook’s data usage policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). You can allow Facebook and its partners to place ads on and outside of Facebook. A cookie can also be stored on your computer for these purposes.

These processing operations are only carried out if express consent has been given in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR.
