NEWSLETTER

With your consent you can subscribe to our newsletter, with which we inform you about our current interesting offers. The advertised goods and services are named in the declaration of consent.

For the registration to our newsletter we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after your registration we will send you an e-mail to the specified e-mail address in which we ask you to confirm that you would like the newsletter to be sent. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we store your IP addresses and the time of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data.

The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The indication of further, separately marked data is voluntary and is used to be able to address you personally. After your confirmation we will save your e-mail address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) 1. lit. a GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can declare your revocation by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter e-mail or by sending a message to the contact details given in the imprint.

We would like to point out that we evaluate your user behaviour when sending the newsletter. For this analysis, the e-mails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which represent single-pixel image files stored on our website. For evaluation purposes, we link the data stated in “Collection of personal data when visiting our website” and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. Links received in the newsletter may also contain this ID.

With the data obtained in this way, we create a user profile to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. We record when you read our newsletters, which links you click on in them and deduce your personal interests. We link this data to actions taken by you on our website.

You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in each e-mail or by informing us of another contact method. The information is stored for as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After a cancellation we store the data purely statistically and anonymously.

 

Google Tag Manager

This website uses the “Google Tag Manager”, a service of Google Ireland Limited. Google Tag Manager provides the ability to manage website tags through one interface. The Google Tag Manager tool that implements the tags is a cookie-less domain. However, Google Tag Manager collects your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google’s parent company in the USA.

Google Tag Manager takes care of triggering other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent) and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Through this application, our advertisements can be displayed to you during your further internet use after visiting our website.

Google Ads

This website uses “Google Ads” (formerly Google AdWords), a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). Google Ads offers the possibility to draw attention to attractive offers of already visited websites with the help of advertising media on external websites. This helps to determine how successful individual advertising measures are. These advertising media are delivered by Google via so-called “AdServers”. For this purpose, so-called AdServer cookies are used, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as display of the ads or clicks by the users, can be measured. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your end device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days. Cookies do not serve to identify you personally. With this cookie, the following information is usually stored as analysis values: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed). These cookies enable Google to recognize your web browser. If a user visits certain content or pages on the website of a Google Ads customer and the cookie stored on his computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each Google Ads customer. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the website of Google Ads customers. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive anonymized statistical evaluations from Google. On the basis of these evaluations, we can recognize the effectiveness of advertising measures used. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising tools, in particular we cannot identify the users on the basis of this information. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google servers. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of Google Ads. To the best of our knowledge, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you have a user account with Google and are registered, Google can assign the visit to your user account. Even if you are not registered with Google or not logged in, it is possible that Google learns your IP address, stores it and processes it for other purposes.

We use Google Ads for marketing and optimization purposes, in particular to provide you with relevant and interesting advertisements, to improve evaluations of campaign performance and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs. This is also our legitimate interest in the processing of the above data by the third-party provider. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

You can prevent the function of cookies by deleting existing cookies and disabling the storage of new cookies in the settings of your web browser. We point out that in this case you may not be able to use all features of our website in full. It is also possible to prevent the storage of cookies by setting your web browser via https://www.google.de/settings/ads in such a way that cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com are blocked. Please note that this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies. In addition, you can deactivate interest-based ads via the link https://optout.aboutads.info. Please note that this setting will also be deleted when you delete your cookies in the web browser.

GOOGLE ADWORDS CONVERSION TRACKING

We use the online advertising program Google AdWords and conversion tracking as part of Google AdWords. The Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification.

If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. This means that it is not possible to track cookies on the websites of AdWords customers.

The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers can see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that personally identifies users.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by preventing the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly (deactivation option). You are then not included in the conversion tracking statistics.
