Analysis advertising tracking

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. Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the website operator to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, 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 and device you use, pages visited, referrer URL (website from which you accessed our website), location data, and purchasing activities. Google may link your data to 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 thus receives only pseudonymized data.

Google uses technologies such as cookies, web storage in the browser, and tracking pixels that enable an analysis of your website use. The use of cookies or similar technologies is based on your consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) (1) of the Telemedia Act (TDDDG) in conjunction with Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR.

Your personal data is 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 use the advanced implementation of consent mode (Advanced Consent Mode). This means that even if consent is not granted, user data is transmitted to Google in the form of "pings." These pings may contain, among other things, the following information: IP address to determine 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. Based on this information, Google models user data in order to be able to conduct a comprehensive usage analysis despite the refusal of consent.

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

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 integrating the service and the transmission of this data to Meta. This is based on an agreement between us and Meta on the joint processing of personal data, which defines the respective responsibilities. The agreement is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/legal/terms/businesstools . According to this agreement, we are particularly responsible for fulfilling the information obligations pursuant to Art. 13 and 14 GDPR, for adhering to the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR with regard to the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service, and for complying with the obligations under Art. 33 and 34 GDPR, insofar as a breach of the protection of personal data affects our obligations under the agreement on joint processing. Meta is responsible for enabling the rights of data subjects in accordance with Articles 15 - 20 GDPR, for complying with the security requirements of Article 32 GDPR with regard to the security of the service and for complying with the obligations under Articles 33 and 34 GDPR, insofar as a breach of the protection of personal data affects Meta's obligations under the joint processing agreement.
The application serves the purpose of targeting 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 compiling conversion statistics. This allows us to learn 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 could personally identify users.
Your data may be transferred to the USA. For the USA, the EU Commission has issued an adequacy decision, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Meta has certified itself according to the TADPF and is thus committed to complying with European data protection principles.

Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking
We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on our website, including conversion tracking (visit action analysis). Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Google).
When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is stored on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity period, contain no 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 cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers.
The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create 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. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. We use the advanced consent mode. Even if consent is not given, user data is transmitted to Google in the form of “pings.” These pings can contain, among other things, the following information: 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. Google uses this information to model 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 Google LLC's servers in the USA. For the USA, the EU Commission has issued an adequacy decision, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF).

These cookies record visits to the website and anonymized data about website usage. No personal data of website visitors is stored.
