This website uses the remarketing technology “Bing Ads” of Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA (“Microsoft”). Microsoft saves a cookie on your computer (“conversion cookie”) if you have reached our website via a Microsoft Bing ad. Microsoft and Bing Ads customers can recognise that the ad has been clicked, and the browser redirected to our site. In this way, these can be used for targeted product recommendations and interest-based advertising on Microsoft and other “Bing Ads” sites.The information gathered using the conversion cookie is also used to generate conversion statistics. We are learning the total number of users who clicked on a Microsoft Bing ad and were thus redirected to our site. In addition, further anonymous data (e.g., the number of page views and the time spent on the websites) is collected. We do not receive any information that personally identifies users.
You may decline to receive interest-based advertising from Microsoft by visiting the appropriate opt-out page of Mircosoft: http://choice.microsoft.com/en-US/opt-out. You can also prevent the collection of data by Bing Ads by deactivating or restricting the transmission of cookies in the settings of your Internet browser (see 7). For more information about Microsoft’s privacy practices and the cookies Microsoft uses, see the Microsoft Privacy Policy: https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement.
– Google DoubleClick Remarketing Pixel
– OptinMonsterFrom a technical perspective, either an additional cookie will be saved to your computer or browser or an existing cookie will be used (see: 7), depending on the retargeting service, to anonymously identify you, your computer or your browser as an internet user using the cookie ID and log your surfing behaviour, especially which pages you visit on our website. The cookie can then be read and evaluated by the targeting providers with which we cooperate (see below). This results in you being shown our products or recommendations for similar products by third parties on other websites e.g. as personalised advertising banners.Within the DoubleClick Remarketing Pixel and Facebook Remarketing, web bugs fulfil a similar function to cookies (see: 7). Web bugs send your IP address, the URL, the time that the web bug was seen, your browser type, and the previously set cookie information to a web server.The data collected about your surfing behaviour by cookies or web bugs cannot be used to personally identify you as a user of our website. We only use the data to improve our services and to evaluate user behaviour on our website (e.g. reactions to promotions); no further use or transfer to third parties takes place. This data is anonymous and not connected to personal data on your computer or linked to a database.All of the following services are used for marketing and advertising purposes with the aim of making our products and services more attractive and offering you a pleasant shopping experience. As described for the individual services, we take your right to data protection seriously so you can object to all services and we will inform you of these data protection options in advance. The legal basis for the above data processing is article 6 paragraph 1 lit f of the GDPR.
For retargeting/remarketing purposes, we also use “Custom Audiences” on our website, a service provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). We can use this service to target you with advertising because Facebook Ads are activated for the users of our website when they visit the Facebook social network.To this end, we have implemented Facebook remarketing pixels on our website (see: 7). When visiting our website, the pixel creates a direct connection to Facebook’s servers. Facebook is able to identify you using your browser ID because this is linked to other data saved about you in your user account. Facebook then displays our advertisements tailored to suit you in your Facebook timeline or another location within Facebook.We are not able to personally identify you using the Facebook pixel because, apart from your browser ID, no further personal data is saved by us via the Facebook remarketing pixel.You can find out more about Facebook’s Custom Audiences, the details of data processing via this service and Facebook’s relevant data protection provisions here: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.You can deactivate the use of Facebook Remarketing by clicking this link and thereby setting an opt-out cookie. This prevents any further data collection through Facebook remarketing on our pages.
We also use Google AdWords conversion tracking functions, a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). If you click on an ad displayed by Google AdWords, a conversion tracking cookie will be saved to your computer. This cookie is valid for 30 days and does not contain any personal data, meaning that we cannot identify you personally.Using conversion tracking, we and Google will know which AdWords ad you clicked and whether you were forwarded to our website, as long as you visit our website and the cookie is still valid. We receive our own cookie from Google that is different from the cookies of other customers using this Google service, so that we can measure the reach of just our cookie and not all websites of customers using the Google AdWords service. The cookie lets us establish our own conversion statistics via customers that visited our website via AdWords ads.To object to participate in Google AdWords conversion tracking, you must disable the saving of Google tracking cookies by using the relevant settings in your browser. You will then no longer be included in our conversion tracking statistics.You can find more information about Google’s AdWords conversion tracking, the details of data processing via these services and Google’s relevant data protection provisions here: http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/
