10) ONLINE MARKETING

10.1 DoubleClick by Google

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

DoubleClick uses cookies to display ads relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Via a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. Processing takes place on the basis of our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that relate to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later calls up the advertiser's website with the same browser and buys something there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.

Due to 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 this tool and therefore inform you according to our level 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 ad 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, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and store your IP address.

If you wish to object to participating in this tracking procedure, you can deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, whereby this setting is deleted if you delete your cookies. Alternatively, you can inform yourself about the setting of cookies at the Digital Advertising Alliance at the internet address www.aboutads.info and make settings for this. Finally, you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually about their acceptance, or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general.

This website uses the online advertising program "Google AdWords" and, within the scope of Google AdWords, the conversion tracking of Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). We use the Google AdWords offer to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising media (so-called Google AdWords). In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. In doing so, we pursue the interest of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you, and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an AdWords ad served by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and do not serve to identify you personally. 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 AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie serves to create conversion statistics for AdWords 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 provided with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block this use by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. We use Google AdWords on the basis of our legitimate interest in targeted advertising in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

11) WEB ANALYSIS SERVICES

Google (Universal) Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis 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 shortened IP address) is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()," which ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and excludes direct personal reference. Through the extension, your IP address is shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. In these exceptional cases, this processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of 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 further services associated with website use and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified for the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield," which guarantees compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU.

This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out via a user ID. When first calling up a page, the user is assigned a unique, permanent, and anonymized ID that is set across devices. This makes it possible to assign interaction data from various devices and from different sessions to a single user. The user ID contains no personal data and does not transmit such data to Google.

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

You can carry out the deactivation with the help of a browser plugin from Google (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

The data collected is anonymous for us, i.e. it does not offer us any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is 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 the Facebook Data Use Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

You can enable Facebook as well as its partners to serve advertisements on and off Facebook. A cookie can also be stored on your computer for these purposes. These processing operations only take place if express consent is given in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
