If you visit our website, the remarketing tags will establish a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. This provides Facebook with the information that you have visited our website with your IP address and enables Facebook to link the visit to our website with your user account. We can use the information we receive this way to display Facebook ads. Please note that as the provider of the website, we are not provided with any information about the content of the transferred data or their use by Facebook. For more information, please refer to the Facebook privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

This website uses social plugins („Plugins“) of the social media network Facebook which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA („Facebook“) The plugins are marked with a Facebook logo or the note “social plugin by Facebook” or “Facebook social plugin”.If you visit a page of our website containing such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by Facebook, and the browser incorporates it into the website. By integrating the plugin into the website, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the associated page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are currently not logged into Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transferred directly to a server of Facebook in the USA by your browser and is stored there. If you are logged in with Facebook, Facebook can directly allocate the visit to our website to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “Like” button or leave a comment, the corresponding information is also directly transferred to a Facebook server and is stored there.

(1) We use the services of Google AdWords to call attention to our interesting offers on external websites using advertising media (Google AdWords). We can determine how successful the individual promotional measures are in relation to the data of the promotional campaigns. We are thus pursuing our interest to display advertisements that are interesting to you, making our website more interesting and obtaining a fair calculation of marketing costs.

(2) These promotional media are delivered by Google using “ad servers”. For this purpose, we are using ad server cookies which measure certain parameters to measure success, such as display of advertisements or clicks by the users. If you come to our website by way of a Google advertisement, Google AdWords stores a cookie on your computer. Usually, these cookies become invalid after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. Usually, the unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), the most recently impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (indication that the user does not wish to be approached again) are stored with the cookie as analysis values.

(3) These cookies allow Google to recognise your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of the website of an AdWords customer and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can identify that the user has clicked the advertisement and was transferred to this page. Every AdWords customer is assigned a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the websites of the AdWord customers. We do not collect and process any personal data in the above promotional measures ourselves but are only provided statistical analyses by Google. Based on these analyses, we can determine which of the promotional measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive further data from the use of the promotional media; this includes but is not limited to us being unable to identify the users based on this information.
