10) ONLINE MARKETING

10.1 DoubleClick by Google

This website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google, operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("DoubleClick").

DoubleClick uses cookies to serve relevant ads to users, improve campaign performance reports, and prevent users from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google captures which ads are displayed in which browser via a cookie ID, thus preventing repeated display. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Additionally, DoubleClick can capture so-called conversions related to ad requests via cookie IDs. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser's website using the same browser and makes a purchase there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain personal information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's servers. We have no influence over the extent and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our current knowledge: By integrating DoubleClick, Google is informed that you have accessed the corresponding part of our online presence or clicked on one of our ads. 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 are not logged in, it is possible that the provider obtains and stores your IP address.

If you wish to opt-out of this tracking procedure, you can disable cookies for conversion tracking by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com (https://www.google.de/settings/ads). However, this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies. Alternatively, you can visit the Digital Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info to learn about cookies and manage your settings. Finally, you can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and decide individually on their acceptance or exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general. If you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.

Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified under the US-EU Privacy Shield agreement, which ensures compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.

This website uses the online advertising program "Google AdWords" and, as part of Google AdWords, the conversion tracking of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). We use Google AdWords to attract attention to our attractive offers on external websites using advertisements (so-called Google AdWords). We can determine how successful individual advertising measures are in relation to the data from the advertising campaigns. We aim to show you ads that are of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an AdWords ad displayed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits specific 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 that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained through the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who 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 information that would allow for personal identification of users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block this usage by disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie in your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. We use Google AdWords based on our legitimate interest in targeted advertising according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

11) WEB ANALYSIS SERVICES

Google (Universal) Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies," text files that are stored on your computer and allow for the analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including the truncated IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()", which ensures the anonymization of the IP address by truncation and excludes direct personal reference. Your IP address will be truncated by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. In these exceptional cases, this processing occurs in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.

On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide additional services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that you may not be able to use all features of this website to their full extent in this case. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Google Analytics Opt-Out.

This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out using a user ID. When a page is accessed for the first time, a unique, permanent, and anonymized ID is assigned to the user, which is set across devices. This allows interaction data from various devices and different sessions to be assigned to a single user. The user ID does not contain personal data and does not transmit such data to Google.

You can object to the collection and storage of data via the user ID at any time with future effect. To do this, you must deactivate Google Analytics on all systems you use, for example in another browser or on your mobile device.

You can deactivate it using a browser plugin from Google (Google Analytics Opt-Out). Alternatively, instead of the browser plugin or within mobile device browsers, please click the following link to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent future collection by Google Analytics on this website (this opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain; if you delete your cookies in this browser, you must click this link again): Disable Google Analytics.
