(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, text files which are stored on your computers and allow an analysis of the use of the website. The information produced by the cookie on your use of this website will be transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. In the event of IP anonymisation being activated on this website, your IP address will however be shortened beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other states signed up 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, where it will be shortened. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and perform further services related to the use of the website and internet for the website operator.

Social media and other services of third parties

 

Integration of YouTube videos

 

(1) We have integrated YouTube videos into our website; these are stored on http://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website. These are all integrated in “enhanced data protection mode”, i.e. no data about you as a user will be transmitted to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Only when you play the videos will the data stated in Para. 2 be transmitted. We have no influence over this data transmission. With the integration of YouTube videos we pursue our interest of making our website more interesting and more attractive for our visitors and improve the presentation of content and issues. The legal basis for the use of the plug-in is provided by Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter f GDPR.

 

(2) When you visit the website, YouTube will be informed that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data stated under § 5 of this policy will be transmitted. This happens regardless of whether YouTube has provided you with a user account which you are logged into, or if there is no user account. If you are logged in with Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want the data to be assigned to your profile with YouTube, you have to log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses it for the purpose of advertising, market research and/or to design the website to meet the needs of users. Such an analysis is done in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide appropriate advertising and in order to inform other users of the social network of your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you have to contact YouTube in order to exercise this right.

Online advertising

Use Google Adwords Conversion / Remarketing

 

(1) We use the service of Google Adwords to draw attention to our attractive offering with the help of advertising (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. We can establish how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. In so doing we pursue the interest of showing you advertising which is of interest to you, making our website more attractive for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs. The legal basis for the processing of your data is provided by Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter f GDPR.

 

(2) This advertising material is delivered by Google via so-called “ad servers”. For this purpose we use ad server cookies, with which certain parameters for measuring success, e.g. display of adverts or clicks by users, can be measured. If you access our website via a Google ad, a cookie will be stored on your PC by Google Adwords. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and should not be used to identify you personally. With this cookie, the unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (check box ticked if the user no longer wants to be contacted) are usually stored as analysis values.

 

(3) These cookies allow Google to recognise your internet browser. If a user has visited certain pages of the website of an Adwords customer and the cookie stored on his computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognise that the user has clicked on the ad and been directed to this page. Every Adwords customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Adwords customers. We do not collect or process any personal data ourselves in the aforementioned advertising measures. We are merely provided with statistical analyses by Google. Based on these analyses, we can identify which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further information on the use of the advertising material, in particular we cannot identify the users using this information.

 

(4) Based on the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct link with Google’s server. We have no influence over the extent and further use of the data collected by the use of these tools by Google and therefore inform you to the best of our knowledge: Due to the integration of AdWords Conversion, Google is informed that you have visited the relevant part of our website or have 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 have not logged in, it is possible that the provider can find out and store your IP address.

 

(5) There are various ways in which you can prevent this tracking process:

a) an appropriate setting in your browser software, in particular the disabling of third-party cookies, will result in you not receiving ads from third-party providers,

b) the deactivation of cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” are blocked, https://www.google.com/settings/ads, whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies,

c) the deactivation of interest-based advertising of providers which are part of the self-regulation campaign “About Ads”, via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies,

d) permanent deactivation in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We point out that in this case you may not have full use of all of the functions on this website.

Use of Microsoft Bing Ads

 

(1) We use the service of Microsoft Bing Ads to draw attention to our attractive offering with the help of advertising on external websites.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is provided by Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter f GDPR.

 

(2) This advertising material is delivered by Microsoft via corresponding servers. For this purpose we use cookies, with which certain parameters for measuring success, e.g. display of adverts or clicks by users, can be measured.

b) the deactivation of personalised ads from Bing Ads by placing an opt-out cookie on https://advertise.bingads.microsoft.com/en-GB/resources/policies/personalized-ads, whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies,

c) the deactivation of interest-based advertising of providers which are part of the self-regulation campaign “About Ads”, via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies.
