This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor traffic conducted via a user ID. You can disable the cross-device analysis of your use in your customer account under “My Data”, “Personal Information”.

Google Ads 

We use the offer of Google Ads, in order to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising (so-called Google Ads) on external web pages. In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. We are interested in showing you advertisements that are of interest to you, to make our website more interesting to you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.

These advertising materials are supplied by Google via so-called “ad servers”. To do this, we use ad server cookies, from which certain performance metrics such as ads or user clicks can be measured. If you access our website through a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your PC. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and should not serve to personally identify you. As a rule, 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 for this cookie.

These cookies allow Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Ads customer’s website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer may discover that the user clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to that page. Each Ads customer is assigned a different cookie. Thus cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We receive only statistical evaluations provided by Google. On the basis of these evaluations, we can identify 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.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence over the scope of the data collected by the employment of this tool by Google and the further use of such data, and inform you therefore according to our level of knowledge: By including Ads Conversion, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or have clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a service provided by Google, Google may associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a chance that the provider will find out your IP address and store it.

Google Fonts

This website uses Google Fonts to display external fonts. For this purpose, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly, which requiresyour browser to establish a direct connection to Google Servers. Google can identify the website from which your request has been sent and to which IP address the fonts are being transmitted for display.

Google Tag Manager

This website uses the Google Tag Manager that allows website tags to be managed using an interface. The Google Tag Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn collect data if necessary. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this information. If recording has been deactivated on domain or cookie level, it remains valid for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Youtube Videos

We have also incorporated YouTube videos into our websites. The videos are stored at www.youtube.com and can be played directly from our websites. These videos are incorporated in such a way that no personal data related to you as the user is sent to YouTube if you do not play the videos.

If you do play the videos, YouTube cookies will be stored on your computer and data will be sent to Google, Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, as the YouTube operator. When playing videos stored with YouTube, the following personal data is sent to Google, Inc.: the IP address and cookie ID, the specific address of the page visited on our websites, language setting of the browser, system date and time of access and your browser’s identifier.
