5. Analyse-Tools und Werbung
Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies.” These are text files stored on your computer, which allow an analysis of the website usage by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a server of Google in the USA and stored there.
The storage of Google Analytics cookies and the use of this analytics tool are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both the web offering and advertising.
IP AnonymizationWe have activated the IP anonymization feature on this website. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within European Union member states or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. In exceptional cases, the full IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the website operator to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Browser PluginYou can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings. However, we would like to point out that, in this case, you may not be able to fully use all features of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

More information on how Google handles user data in Google Analytics can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.
Order ProcessingWe have entered into a contract with Google for order processing and fully implement the strict requirements of German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Demographic Features in Google AnalyticsThis website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows the creation of reports that contain statements about the age, gender, and interests of the site visitors. This data comes from Google’s interest-based advertising and visitor data from third parties. This data cannot be attributed to a specific person. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the “Objection to Data Collection” section above.
Google Analytics Remarketing
Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
This feature allows the advertising audiences created with Google Analytics Remarketing to be linked with the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertisements, which have been tailored to your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., mobile phone), can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC).
If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history with your Google account for this purpose. This allows the same personalized advertisements to be displayed on any device you sign in to with your Google account.
To support this function, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked with our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device advertising targeting.
You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google account. To do this, follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The summary of data collected in your Google account is solely based on your consent, which you can give or withdraw at Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). For data collection processes that are not merged into your Google account (e.g., because you do not have a Google account or have opted out of the merging), the data collection is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The legitimate interest arises from the website operator’s interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.
Further information and the privacy policy can be found in Google’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.
Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).
As part of Google AdWords, we use what’s called Conversion Tracking. When you click on an ad served by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is set. Cookies are small text files that are placed by the web browser on the user’s computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and do not serve to personally identify users. 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 cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained through the conversion cookie is used 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 with a conversion tracking tag. However, no information is provided that can personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie through your web browser’s user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The storage of “conversion cookies” and the use of this tracking tool are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both their web offerings and their advertising.
More information on Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
You can configure your browser to be informed about the setting of cookies, allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, as well as activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Facebook Pixel
Our website uses the Facebook Pixel for conversion tracking, which is provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”).
This allows the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables the effectiveness of the Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes, and future advertising campaigns can be optimized.
The data collected is anonymous for us as the website operator, and we cannot draw conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, allowing it to be linked to the respective user profile. Facebook can then use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Use Policy. This enables Facebook to display ads on Facebook as well as outside of Facebook. This use of data cannot be influenced by us as the website operator.
The use of the Facebook Pixel is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including those involving social media.
Further information on protecting your privacy can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
You can also disable the “Custom Audiences” remarketing feature in the ad settings under https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. You need to be logged into Facebook to do this.
If you do not have a Facebook account, you can disable Facebook’s usage-based advertising on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.
