By default, when you visit the website, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies, which are stored as small text modules on your end device and collect certain information. The scope of this information also includes your IP address, which, however, is shortened by Google by the last digits in order to exclude a direct personal reference.

However, the collected data cannot be assigned to a specific person and will be deleted after storage for a period of two months.

Google Signals

The Google Tag Manager provides a technical basis for bundling various web applications, including tracking and analysis services, and calibrating, controlling and linking them to conditions via a uniform user interface.

10) Retargeting/ Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

10.1 Meta Pixel

Within our online offer, we use the "Meta Pixel" service of the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta")

If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook and/or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is extended by a parameter using "Meta Pixel". This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser after the redirect by a cookie that our linked page sets itself.

This makes it possible for Meta, on the one hand, to determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "ads"). Accordingly, we use the service to display the Facebook and/or Instagram ads placed by us only to users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products that are determined on the basis of the websites visited), which we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences").

On the other hand, the "Meta Pixel" can be used to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement and what execution actions they perform there (so-called "conversion tracking").

The data collected is anonymous for us, so it does not provide us with any information about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Meta is usually transmitted to a Meta server and stored there; in this context, it may also be transmitted to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.

10.2 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, as part of Google Ads, conversion tracking from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use the Google Ads offer to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising media (so-called Google Adwords). We can use the data from the advertising campaigns to determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. We are pursuing the aim of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.

The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google Ads. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. 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 Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn 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 any information with which users can be personally identified. As part of the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

Details on the processing initiated by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and on Google's handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

You can also permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads Conversion Tracking by downloading and installing the browser plug-in from Google available under the following link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de

Please note that certain functions of this website may not be used or only to a limited extent if you have deactivated the use of cookies.

11) Page Functionalities

11.1 Google Maps

This website uses an online map service of the following provider: Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually represent geographical information. The use of this service shows you our location and makes it easier to get there.

When you access those subpages in which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This is done regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment to your profile at Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them.

The collection, storage and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of Google websites. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree with the future transmission of your data to Google as part of the use of Google Maps, you can also completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus the map display on this website cannot then be used.

To the extent required by law, we have obtained your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR for the processing of your data as described above. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the possibility described above to make an objection.

11.2 Google Web Fonts

This page uses so-called web fonts for the uniform display of fonts, which are provided by the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly and establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers. Certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

Data can also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA

The processing of personal data in the course of establishing contact with the font provider will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service via the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.
