Google Analytics

Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html.

This website Google Analytics has been extended by the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” in order to guarantee an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

Google Tag Manager

This website uses the Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed through an interface. The Google Tag Manager only implements tags. That means: no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in effect for all tracking tags as long as they are implemented with the Google Tag Manager.

google AdWords

This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. (“Google”). This feature is used to serve interest-based advertisements to visitors to the website as part of the Google advertising network. The website visitor’s browser stores so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that make it possible to recognize the visitor when he or she calls up websites that belong to the Google advertising network. These pages may then display ads to the visitor that relate to content that the visitor has previously viewed on sites that use Google’s remarketing feature. According to its own statements, Google does not collect any personal data during this process. If you still do not wish to use Google’s remarketing function, you can deactivate it by making the appropriate settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the advertising network initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp. Further information about Google Remarketing and Google’s privacy policy can be found at: http://www.google.com/privacy/ads/.

 facebook

This website uses the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” of Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”). This function is used to present visitors to this website with interest-based advertisements (“Facebook Ads”) as part of their visit to the social network Facebook. For this purpose, the Remarketing tag of Facebook was implemented on this website. This tag is used to establish a direct connection to the Facebook servers when visiting the website. In doing so, it is transmitted to the Facebook server that you have visited this website and Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. You can find more information on the collection and use of data by Facebook and on your rights and options for protecting your privacy in this regard in Facebook’s privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. Alternatively, you can deactivate the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#_=_. You must be logged in to Facebook to do this.

 DoubleClick by Google

This website still uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick uses cookies to serve ads relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to help identify which ads are being served on which browser, and to prevent them from being shown more than once. DoubleClick may also use cookie IDs to track conversions related to ad requests. For example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and then visits the advertiser’s site on the same browser to make a purchase. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.

Because of the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google’s server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of these tools and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. 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 have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out and save your IP address.

You can prevent this tracking procedure in various ways:

1) by setting your browser software accordingly – in particular, the suppression of third-party cookies means that you will not receive any advertisements from third-party providers;

2) by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”, see https://www.google.de/settings/ads, this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;

3) by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the self-regulation campaign “AboutAds” via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;

3) by permanently deactivating them in the Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers via the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this offer to their full extent.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. Further information on DoubleClick by Google can be found at https://www.google.de/doubleclick and http://support.google.com/adsense/answer/2839090, and on data protection at Google in general: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
