On the one hand, we use the Conversiontracking function. This means that if you came to us via one of our ads on Facebook, we can see what the ad was and how it behaved on our site. Cookies can also be set here. This enables us to measure the effectiveness of our advertisements for statistical and market research purposes. For us, this data is anonymous, which means that we cannot assign it to you personally. However, Facebook may connect this information to your Facebook account and use it in accordance with the Facebook Data Policy (available at: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). Because the service and data processing via this service are the sole responsibility of Facebook, we have no influence on any possible processing of personal data.
The data processing is justified in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f) GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in in displaying personalised advertising to you and evaluating the use of our website.
The information generated by the cookies is transmitted by Google to a server in the USA for analysis and stored there. Google participates in the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement. The data collected will only be evaluated for statistical purposes and in anonymous form. A transfer of the data by Google to third parties only takes place due to legal regulations or within the scope of order processing.

The data processing is justified in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f) GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in displaying personalised advertising to you.
We use the online advertising program "Google AdWords" and conversion tracking as part of Google AdWords. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google LLC, (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. The information generated by the cookies is transmitted by Google to a server in the USA for analysis and stored there. Google participates in the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement. 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 AdWords customer receives a different cookie. This means that it is not possible to track cookies on the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers can see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that personally identifies users.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by preventing the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly (deactivation option). They are then not included in the conversion tracking statistics.

Sharing Buttons are linked icons or logos of Internet platforms or services that enable the user to send content from the original page to a target page or other recipients by pressing the buttons. When using the service, AddThis stores the following information from you: Your IP address, browser type, browser language, date, time and, if applicable, the search engine or other website from which you accessed the page. At the same time, an individual ID is assigned to you, which can also be used to read out your usage behavior on websites that have also integrated the AddThis service. Personal data will be transmitted to the USA. We have concluded with AddThi's standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Apart from that, personal data will only be used if and insofar as a visitor transmits them when using the buttons. This is the case, for example, if the visitor sends a message via the AddThis bar and enters his e-mail address and that of the recipient and, if necessary, an additional message for sending. The entries made by the user are visible to the recipients of the messages and, if necessary, to the social network. The information is not used by AddThis for any other purpose and is not combined with other information.

To do so, please contact one of the addresses given in the data protection declaration.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data, unless we can prove compelling reasons worthy of protection for the processing, which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
