5.2 Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", which are text files stored on your computer to enable the website analyse your use of the site. 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. However, if IP anonymisation has been activated on this website, Google shall truncate your IP address beforehand within Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to 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. On behalf of this website’s operator, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics shall not be merged with other Google data. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use this website’s full functionality. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de ).
We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on our website, operated by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter referred to as "Google").
1. Scope and Description of Data Processing As part of Google Ads, we use a feature known as Conversion Tracking. When you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is stored on your device. These cookies typically expire after a maximum of 90 days and are not intended to identify you personally. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can detect that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie, meaning cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of different Ads customers.
In addition, we utilize the "Enhanced Conversions" feature. When you complete an action on our website (e.g., making a purchase), this feature captures the data you entered into the form fields (such as your email address, name, or address). Before being transmitted to Google, this data is encrypted ("hashed") on your local device using a secure mathematical algorithm (SHA-256). Google then matches these pseudonymized hashes with the data of existing Google account users. This allows us to measure and optimize the performance of our Google Ads campaigns more accurately across multiple devices.
2. Purpose of Data Processing The information gathered using the conversion cookie and enhanced conversions is used solely to generate conversion statistics for us. We receive the total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a page featuring a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that allows us to personally identify you.
3. Legal Basis The use of Google Ads and Enhanced Conversions is based exclusively on your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can grant or revoke this consent at any time via the cookie consent banner on our website.
4. Data Transfer to Third Countries Data collected during this tracking process may be transferred to and stored on Google servers located in the United States. Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures a level of data protection that complies with EU standards for data processing in the US.
5. Objection and Prevention of Data Collection You can prevent participation in this tracking process in several ways:
-
By adjusting your browser software settings accordingly (specifically by disabling third-party cookies).
-
By disabling cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "
".www.googleadservices.com -
By revoking your consent within our website’s cookie consent banner.

5.3 Use of the Facebook pixel (Facebook Custom Audiences)
On our website we use the so-called "Facebook pixel" of Facebook Inc. ( Facebook). This allows users of our website to be provided with interest-related advertisements ("Facebook Ads") when they visit the social network Facebook or other websites that also use the procedure. Through the Face-book pixel, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Facebook server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of the Facebook pixel, Facebook receives the information that you have clicked on an advertisement from us or called up the corresponding website of our Internet presence. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and save your IP address and other identification features.
With the use of the Facebook pixel, we pursue the purpose of displaying Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our Internet offer. 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. In addition, the Facebook pixel allows us to track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad. The legal basis for the use of the Facebook pixel is article 6 paragraph 1 letter f DSGVO.
You may object to the use of the Facebook Pixel at any time by clicking deactivate Facebook Pixel .
