The legal basis for "tracking" is Article 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR. Website analysis is in our legitimate interest and is used for the statistical collection of site usage for the continuous improvement of our website and the offer of our services.
The IP address submitted by the user's browser will not be merged with other data provided by Google. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; Users may also prevent the collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to its use of the online offer as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http: // tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
For more information about Google's data usage, recruitment and opt-out options, please visit Google's websites:
Data usage by Google when you use websites or apps of our partners: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners
Use of data for promotional purposes: http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads
Manage information that Google uses to show you advertising: http://www.google.com/settings/ads
Determine what Google advertising shows you: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences
Google's marketing services allow us to display advertisements for and on our website in a more targeted manner to show users only ads that potentially match their interests. For example, if users see ads for products they are interested in on other websites, they are referred to as "remarketing. For these purposes, when you visit our and other websites on which Google marketing services are active, Google directly executes a Google code and incorporates it into the website's so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as "web beacons"). With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user's device (comparable technologies can also be used instead of cookies). Cookies can be set by various domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com and googleadservices.com. In this file it is noted which websites the user visits, which contents he is interested in and which offers he has clicked, furthermore technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting time as well as further information about the use of the online offer. The IP address of the user is also recorded, whereby we inform within the scope of Google Analytics that the IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area is shortened and only in exceptional cases completely transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address is not merged with user data within other Google services. The above information may also be linked to such information from other sources. If the user subsequently visits other websites, advertisements tailored to the user's interests may be displayed.
One of the Google marketing services we use is the online advertising program "Google AdWords". In the case of Google AdWords, each AdWords customer receives a different "conversion cookie". Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected through the cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers know the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were directed to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that personally identifies users.
Another Google marketing service we use is the "Google Tag Manager", which can be used to integrate other Google analysis and marketing services into our website (e.g. "AdWords", "DoubleClick" or "Google Analytics").
Further information on the use of data by Google for marketing purposes can be found on the overview page: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads , Google's data protection declaration can be found at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy .
If you wish to object to the collection of data by Google marketing services, you can use the setting and opt-out options provided by Google: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences
The use of the Google services mentioned takes place on the basis of a weighing of interests. We are interested in targeting our advertising campaigns to make our websites known to a wider audience. The legal basis for the use of cookies is Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) DSGVO.
Within our online offer, so-called "Facebook pixels" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are resident in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"), are used. Using the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able to determine the visitors of our offer as a target group for the display of ads, so-called "Facebook ads". Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads we have placed only to those Facebook users who have shown interest in our website. This means that with the help of the Facebook pixel we want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not appear annoying. The Facebook pixel also enables us to track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing if users were directed to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad.
The Facebook pixel is integrated directly by Facebook when our web pages are accessed and can store a so-called cookie, i.e. a small file, on your device. If you then log in to Facebook or visit Facebook when logged in, the visit to our offer is noted in your profile. The data collected about you is anonymous to us and does not give us any information about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible. Facebook processes the data in accordance with Facebook's data usage guidelines. Accordingly, you will receive further information on how the remarketing pixel works and on the presentation of Facebook ads in general in Facebook's data usage policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy
You may opt out of Facebook pixel collection and use of your information to display Facebook ads. To do this, you can go to the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions on the settings for usage-based advertising there: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or the opposition via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ explain.

The list and appearance of the Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to the user's device and integrated into the online service by the user. User profiles can be created from the processed data.
