We use Google Ads from Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Ads allows us to draw attention to our attractive offers on Google search results pages, other external sites and within the Google Display Network. We use this to track your interest in showing you ads that may be of interest to you. In addition, we use the retargeting function to show visitors to our site targeted offers.

These advertising materials are delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers". For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, which can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie in your device. For this cookie, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wants to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values.

These cookies allow Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Ads Client's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not expired, Google and the Ads Client can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Ads customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of Ads customers. Google provides us with statistical evaluations. Based on these evaluations, we can see which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material, in particular we cannot identify the users on the basis of this information.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

In addition to the option of opting out of processing for marketing and analysis purposes in the cookie settings, you can prevent this tracking procedure in various ways: a) by setting your browser software accordingly, in particular the suppression of third-party cookies will result in you not receiving third-party ads; b) by disabling cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, which setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; c) by permanently deactivating it in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.

IV. Are social plug-ins used?

We use social plugins on our website for advertising purposes from the social networks Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and YouTube on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Plugins are small programs or extensions to use these additional functions.

In order to increase the protection of your data when you visit our website, the plugins are integrated into the site by means of a so-called "2-click solution". This integration ensures that when a page of our website that contains such plugins is accessed, no connection to the servers of Facebook, Google and Pinterest is established. Only when you activate the plugins and thus give your consent to the data transmission does your browser establish a direct connection to the servers of Google, Facebook or Pinterest. The content of the respective plugin is then transmitted directly to your browser by the associated provider and integrated into the page. By integrating the plugins, the providers receive the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile with the corresponding provider or are not logged in at the moment. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of the respective provider and stored there. If you do not want social networks to collect data about you via our website, you must log out of the social networks before visiting our website.

On our website we have the social plug-ins of the followingCompanies involved:

In the case of data transfer to recipients based outside the European Union or the European Economic Area (so-called third country), this is done on the basis of so-called standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission as a suitable guarantee to ensure the level of protection of your personal data.

VII. What profiling do we do?

The GDPR regulates your rights primarily in Articles 15 to 22 GDPR. Accordingly, you have the right to information at any time about the data stored regarding you, its origin and recipients as well as the purpose of storage. In addition, you have the right to request the deletion of your data as well as a restriction of processing, the correction of your data and the transfer of your data in a commonly used machine-readable format. In addition, there is information about the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling in accordance with Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and – at least in these cases – meaningful information about the logic involved as well as the scope and intended effects of such processing with regard to your person.

Objection or revocation to the processing of your data: If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke it at any time with effect for the future by contacting the postal or e-mail address listed in section I. Case-by-case right to object: If we base the processing of your personal data on a balancing of interests in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, you can object to the processing. This also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4 (4) GDPR. If you exercise such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of a justified objection, we will examine the facts of the case and will either stop or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we continue the processing.

Of course, you can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. Please send your objection to advertising to the postal or e-mail address listed under section I.
