Analysis Advertising tracking


Use of Google Analytics 4
We use the web analytics service Google Analytics from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; "Google") on our website.
Data processing serves the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors, as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. For this purpose, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator.
The following information, among others, may be collected: IP address, date and time of the page view, click path, information about the browser you use and the device you use, pages visited, referrer URL (website via which you accessed our website), location data, purchase activities. Your data may be linked by Google with 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 is shortened by us beforehand on our own servers. Google therefore receives only pseudonymized data.

Google uses technologies such as cookies, browser web storage, and tracking pixels that allow an analysis of your use of the website. The use of cookies or comparable technologies occurs with your consent based on § 25 (1) sentence 1 TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

The processing of your personal data takes place with your consent based on Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on the consent before its revocation.

In this context, we also use the Google Signals service. Google Signals enables cross-device tracking. Your data can thus be analyzed across devices if you have activated "personalized advertising" in your account settings and your devices are linked to your Google account. This makes it possible to recognize on which device you search for products and later return to complete purchases on another device, such as a tablet.
The cross-device reports generated in this context contain only aggregated data. We therefore only receive statistics generated on the basis of Google Signals. To prevent the collection and storage of data by Google Signals across devices, you can deactivate the "personalized ads" function in your Google account settings. Further information on this can be found at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de.
Further information on data processing and privacy regarding Google Signals can be found at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de.

We use the advanced implementation of Consent Mode. In this process, user data is transmitted to Google in the form of “pings” even if consent has not been granted. These pings may contain the following information, among others: IP address for deriving 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 through 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 carry out comprehensive usage analysis despite the refusal of consent.

The information generated in this way about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. An adequacy decision by the EU Commission exists for the USA, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Google has certified itself under the TADPF and has thus committed to complying with European data protection principles. Both Google and US government authorities have access to your data.

Use of Meta Pixel
We use the Meta Pixel from Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland; "Meta") on our website.
Meta and we are joint controllers for the collection of your data when the service is integrated and for the transmission of this data to Meta. The basis for this is an agreement between us and Meta regarding joint processing of personal data, in which the respective responsibilities are defined. The agreement can be accessed at https://de-de.facebook.com/legal/terms/businesstools. According to this, we are primarily responsible for fulfilling information obligations pursuant to Art. 13, 14 GDPR, for compliance with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR regarding the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service, as well as for compliance with the obligations under Art. 33, 34 GDPR, insofar as a breach of personal data protection concerns our obligations under the joint processing agreement. Meta is responsible for enabling the rights of data subjects pursuant to Art. 15–20 GDPR, for complying with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR regarding the security of the service, and for the obligations under Art. 33, 34 GDPR, insofar as a breach of personal data protection concerns 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. To this end, the Meta remarketing tag has been implemented on the website. This tag establishes a direct connection to Meta servers when visiting 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. If you visit the social networks Facebook or Instagram, you will then be shown personalized, interest-based ads.
The application also serves the purpose of creating conversion statistics. In this process, we learn the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page provided with a conversion tracking tag, as well as which actions are taken after being redirected to this website. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
Your data may be transferred to the USA. An adequacy decision by the EU Commission exists for the USA, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Meta has certified itself under the TADPF and has thus committed to complying with European data protection principles.
Your personal data is processed with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the withdrawal.
You can deactivate the "Custom Audiences" remarketing function here. Further information on the collection and use of data by Meta, your rights in this regard, and options for protecting your privacy can be found in Meta’s privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.


Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking
We use the online advertising program “Google Ads” on our website and, in this context, conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Google).
When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, contain no personal data, and are therefore not used for personal identification. When 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. Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Thus, there is no possibility that cookies can be tracked via the websites of Ads customers.
The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie serves the purpose of creating conversion statistics. In this process, we learn the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page provided with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
We use the advanced implementation of Consent Mode. In this process, user data is transmitted to Google in the form of “pings” even if consent has not been granted. These pings may contain the following information, among others: IP address for deriving 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 through 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 carry out comprehensive usage analysis despite the refusal of consent.
Your data may be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. An adequacy decision by the EU Commission exists for the USA, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF).
