  1. USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING

    6.1 Subscription to Our Email Newsletter
    When you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only required information for receiving the newsletter is your email address. Providing additional data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. We use the so-called Double Opt-in method for sending the newsletter. This means that we will only send you an email newsletter after you have explicitly confirmed that you consent to receiving the newsletter. We will then send you a confirmation email, asking you to confirm your subscription by clicking a corresponding link to ensure that you want to receive newsletters in the future.

    By clicking on the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data according to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. When you register for the newsletter, we store your IP address, as registered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration, to trace any possible misuse of your email address at a later date. The data collected when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively for the purpose of commercial communication via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a message to the controller as mentioned above. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately removed from our newsletter distribution list unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data or we reserve the right to further use data as permitted by law, of which we inform you in this statement.

The data processing is carried out solely based on our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, no emails will be sent by us. You have the right to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purposes at any time with effect for the future by sending a message to the controller as mentioned earlier.

  1. ONLINE MARKETING

    10.1 DoubleClick by Google

    This website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google, managed by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("DoubleClick").

    DoubleClick uses cookies to display relevant ads to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google tracks which ads are displayed in which browser via a cookie ID and can thus prevent them from being shown multiple times. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website according to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

    Additionally, DoubleClick can track conversions related to ad requests using cookie IDs. For example, this occurs when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser's website with the same browser and makes a purchase. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain personal data.

    By using these marketing tools, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's servers. We have no control over the scope and further use of the data collected by Google via this tool and inform you to the best of our knowledge: By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have visited the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or logged in, there is a possibility that the provider may obtain and store your IP address.

    If you wish to opt out of this tracking method, you can disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com at https://www.google.de/settings/ads, where this setting will be removed if you delete your cookies. Alternatively, you can obtain information about setting cookies at the Digital Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info and adjust your settings there. Finally, you can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and decide individually whether to accept them or exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general. Please note that if cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be limited.

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

    10.2 Use of Google AdWords Conversion Tracking

    This website uses the online advertising program "Google AdWords" and, within the framework of Google AdWords, the conversion tracking of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). We use the Google AdWords service to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites via ads (known as Google AdWords). We can determine the success of individual advertising campaigns by analyzing the data related to the advertising campaigns. Our goal is to show you ads that are of interest to you, make our website more appealing to you, and achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.

    The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google AdWords ad. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer system. These cookies typically expire after 30 days and do not serve to personally identify users. 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 AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot, therefore, be tracked across AdWords customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are informed of 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 information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can block this by disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie in your internet browser's user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. We use Google AdWords based on our legitimate interest in targeted advertising according to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

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

    WEB ANALYSIS SERVICES

    Google (Universal) Analytics

    This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files stored on your computer that 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 truncating it and excludes direct personal reference. By this extension, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or 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 shortened there. In these exceptional cases, this processing is carried out based on our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

    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 data held by Google.

    You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings; however, we point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all the features of this website fully. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available through the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=nl

    As an alternative to the browser plug-in or within browsers on mobile devices, you can click on the following link to place an opt-out cookie that will prevent future collection by Google Analytics on this website (this opt-out cookie only works 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 US-European Privacy Shield Agreement, which ensures compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU.

    This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out via a User-ID. Upon first visiting a page, a unique, permanent, and anonymized ID is assigned to the user, which is set across different devices. This allows 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 this to Google.

    The collection and storage of data via the User-ID can be objected to at any time with effect for the future. To do this, you must disable Google Analytics on all systems you use, for example, in another browser or on your mobile device. You can do this using a Google browser plug-in (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=nl). As an alternative to the browser plug-in or within browsers on mobile devices, you can click on the following link to place an opt-out cookie that will prevent future collection by Google Analytics on this website (this opt-out cookie only works 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

    Facebook Custom Audience via the Pixel Method

    This website uses the "Facebook Pixel" from Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Facebook").

This method is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and can contribute to the optimization of future advertising campaigns.

    The data collected is anonymous for us, meaning we cannot see personal information about individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, allowing it to be linked to the respective user profile and enabling Facebook to 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 display ads on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes. These processing activities are carried out exclusively based on explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Consent for the use of the Facebook Pixel may only be given by users who are at least 13 years old. If you are younger, we ask that you seek permission from your parents or guardians.
