Analysis Advertising Tracking Communication

Use of Google Analytics 4
We use the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; “Google”) on our website.
The data processing serves the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. For this purpose, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide the website operator with other services related to website activity and internet usage.
The following information may be collected, among others: IP address, date and time of the page visit, click path, information about the browser you use and the device you use, pages visited, referrer URL (website you used to access our website), location data, purchasing activities. Google may link your data with other data, such as your search history, your personal accounts, your usage data from other devices and any other data Google has about you.

Your IP address will be shortened by us on our own servers beforehand. Google therefore only receives pseudonymized data.

Google uses technologies such as cookies, web storage in the browser and tracking pixels, which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The use of cookies or similar technologies takes place with your consent on the basis of Section 25 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR.

Your personal data will be processed with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent until the revocation.

We also use the Google Signals service in this context. Google Signals enables cross-device tracking. Your data can therefore be analyzed across devices if you have activated "personalized advertising" in your account settings and your devices are linked to your Google account. This makes it possible to recognize which device you are using to search for products and return later to complete purchases on another device, such as a tablet.

The cross-device reports created in this context only contain aggregated data. We therefore only receive statistics created on the basis of Google Signals. To prevent data collection and storage by Google Signals across devices, you can deactivate the "personalized ads" function in the settings of your Google account. You can find more information at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de .

Further information on data processing and data protection regarding Google Signals can be found at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de .

We use the advanced implementation of consent mode (Advanced Consent Mode). Even if consent is not given, user data is transmitted to Google in the form of "pings". These pings can contain the following information, among others: IP address to derive the IP country (the IP address is not logged), date and time of the page visit, URL of the pages visited, user agent, referrer URL (website from which our website was accessed) or information about the triggering of website events such as a conversion. On the basis of this information, Google models user data in order to be able to carry out a comprehensive usage analysis despite the refusal of consent.

The information generated in this way about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Google has certified itself according to the TADPF and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection principles. Both Google and US government authorities have access to your data.

Your data may be transferred to third countries outside the EU, in particular to Canada and the USA, and processed there. For Canada, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission.

Using the Meta Pixel

We use the meta pixel of Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland; "Meta") on our website.

Meta and we are jointly responsible for the collection of your data when the service is integrated and the transmission of this data to Meta. The basis for this is an agreement between us and Meta on the joint processing of personal data, in which the respective responsibilities are defined. The agreement can be accessed at https://de-de.facebook.com/legal/terms/businesstools . According to this, we are particularly responsible for fulfilling the information obligations in accordance with Art. 13, 14 GDPR, for compliance with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR with regard to the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service and for compliance with the obligations under Art. 33, 34 GDPR, insofar as a breach of the protection of personal data affects our obligations under the agreement on joint processing.

The purpose of the application is to target website visitors with interest-based advertising on the social networks Facebook and Instagram. For this purpose, the Meta remarketing tag has been implemented on the website. This tag establishes a direct connection to the Meta servers when you visit the website. This transmits to the Meta server which of our pages you have visited. Meta assigns this information to your personal Facebook and/or Instagram user account. When you visit the social networks Facebook or Instagram, you will then be shown personalized, interest-based ads.

The application also serves the purpose of creating conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag, as well as what actions were taken after being redirected to this website. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

Your data may be transferred to the USA. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision from the EU Commission, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Meta has certified itself according to the TADPF and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection principles.

Your personal data will be processed with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent until the revocation.

When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, 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 Ads customer receives a different cookie. This means that there is no way that cookies can be tracked across Ads customers' websites.

On the basis of this information, Google models user data in order to be able to carry out a comprehensive usage analysis despite the refusal of consent.
Your data may be transferred to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Google has certified itself according to the TADPF and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection principles.
