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

The information is transmitted to Google servers and processed there. Transfers to Google LLC based in the USA are also possible.

Google uses the collected information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities for us, and to provide further services related to website use and internet use.

Demographic characteristics
Google Analytics 4 uses the special "demographic characteristics" function and can generate statistics that make statements about the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This is done through the analysis of advertising and information from third-party providers. This allows target groups for marketing activities to be identified. However, the collected data cannot be attributed to a specific person and is deleted after a storage period of two months.

Google Signals
As an extension to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals can be used on this website to generate cross-device reports. If you have activated personalized ads and linked your devices to your Google account, Google can, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics pursuant to Section 25(1) TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including cross-device conversions. We do not receive personal data from Google, but only statistics.

To do so, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de Further information about Google Signals can be found at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de

9) Retargeting/ Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

9.1 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, within the scope of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Irland ("Google").

We use the Google Ads service to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords). In relation to the advertising campaign data, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. Our aim is to display advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs incurred.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google Ads advertisement. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device. 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 on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies therefore cannot be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate 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 tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that could be used to personally identify users.

In the course of using Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

Details on the processing operations 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

All the processing operations described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the end device used, are only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Section 25(1) TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6(1)(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.

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

In order to address users whose data we have received in the context of business or business-like relationships with even more relevant advertising, we use a customer matching function within Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (primarily email addresses and telephone numbers) to Google electronically. Google does not receive access to plain data, but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to match it with existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables the delivery of personalized advertising across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

The transmission of customer data to Google is carried out exclusively if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke this consent towards us at any time with effect for the future. Further information on Google's data protection measures regarding the customer matching function can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=de&ref_topic=10550182

With the help of the Meta Pixel, it is possible for Meta to determine the visitors of our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Meta Ads"). Accordingly, we use the Meta Pixel to display the Meta Ads placed by us only to those users on Meta and within the services of partners cooperating with Meta (so-called "Audience Network") who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined by the websites visited) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences").

When using the Meta Pixel, data (including IP address, information about the web browser, location information, device ID, and date and time of the page visit) is transmitted to Meta servers. Transfers to Meta Platforms Inc. based in the USA are also possible.

All the processing operations described above, in particular the setting of cookies on the end device used, are only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Section 25(1) TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6(1)(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.

Insofar as personal data is collected on our website and forwarded to Meta with the help of the procedure described here, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Irland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its transfer to Meta. The processing by Meta that takes place after the transfer is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent upon us jointly have been set out in an agreement on joint processing. The agreement can be found at https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum.
