6) Use of Your Data for Direct Advertising

6.1 Subscribing to our email newsletter
If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information required for sending the newsletter is your email address.

If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send any emails. You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the controller named at the beginning. You will only incur transmission costs according to the basic rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be stopped without delay.

10.1 Google Campaign Manager 360
This website uses the online marketing tool Google Campaign Manager 360, operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“DoubleClick”).
DoubleClick uses cookies to display ads relevant to users, to improve reports on campaign performance, or to avoid users seeing the same ads multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown multiple times. Processing is based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser’s website with 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 to Google’s server. We have no control 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 knowledge: by integrating DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked 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 not logged in, the provider may obtain and store your IP address.
If you wish to object to participation in this tracking process, you can disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com (https://www.google.de/settings/ads). Please note that this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies. Alternatively, you can visit the Digital Advertising Alliance website at www.aboutads.info to learn about the setting of cookies and make corresponding settings. Finally, you can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to decide individually on their acceptance or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general.

10.2 Use of Google AdWords Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program “Google AdWords” and, within the framework of Google AdWords, conversion tracking by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). We use Google AdWords to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites using advertising media (so-called Google AdWords). We can determine how successful individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the ad campaigns. Our interest is to show you advertising that is 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 placed 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 certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block its use 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 pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

11) Web Analytics Services

Google (Universal) Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service of 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 enable an 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 generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the “_anonymizeIp()” extension, which ensures anonymization of the IP address by truncation and excludes direct personal reference. By means of this extension, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. In these exceptional cases, processing is carried out pursuant to 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, to compile reports on website activities and to provide us with other services related to website and Internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google as well as the processing of these data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

As an alternative to the browser plug-in or within browsers on mobile devices, please click the following link to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent data collection by Google Analytics within this website in the future (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

This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows conducted via a user ID. When a page is accessed for the first time, the user is assigned a unique, permanent, and anonymized ID that is set across devices. This makes it possible to assign interaction data from different devices and from different sessions to a single user. The user ID does not contain any personal data and does not transmit such data to Google.

You can object to the collection and storage via the user ID at any time with effect for the future. To do this, you must deactivate Google Analytics on all systems you use, e.g. in another browser or on your mobile device. You can deactivate it using a browser plug-in from Google (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). As an alternative to the browser plug-in or within browsers on mobile devices, please click the following link to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent data collection by Google Analytics within this website in the future (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

Facebook Custom Audience via the pixel process
This website uses the “Facebook Pixel” from Meta Platforms, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Facebook”). If explicit consent has been granted, this enables the behavior of users to be tracked after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. This process is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help optimize future advertising measures.
The data collected are anonymous to us and do not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data are stored and processed by Facebook, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook’s Data Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This may allow Facebook and its partners to display advertisements on and outside Facebook. For these purposes, a cookie may also be stored on your computer. These processing operations are carried out exclusively if explicit consent is given pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
