9) Online Marketing
9.1 Facebook Pixel for creating custom audiences with advanced data matching (with cookie consent tool)
Our online offering uses the so-called "Facebook Pixel" of the social network Facebook in enhanced data matching mode, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").
Based on their express consent, when a user clicks on an ad displayed on Facebook and placed by us, a suffix is added to the URL of our linked page using Facebook Pixel. This URL parameter is then written to the user's browser via a cookie, which our linked page itself sets. In addition, this cookie records specific customer data, such as the email address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook ad during transactions such as purchases, account registrations, or registrations (extended data matching). The cookie is then read by Facebook Pixel and enables the data, including the specific customer data, to be forwarded to Facebook.
With the help of the Facebook pixel with enhanced data matching, Facebook is able to precisely define visitors to our online offering as a target group for displaying advertisements (so-called "Facebook Ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel with enhanced data matching to display the Facebook ads we place only to those Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products determined based on the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Facebook pixel with enhanced data matching, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interests of users and are not annoying. This allows us to further evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion"). Compared to the standard version of Facebook Pixel, the enhanced matching feature helps us better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by capturing more attributed conversions.
All transmitted data is stored and processed by Facebook, allowing a connection to the respective user profile and allowing Facebook to use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Use Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data may enable Facebook and its partners to place advertisements on and outside of Facebook.
These processing operations are carried out exclusively with the granting of express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
Consent to the use of the Facebook pixel may only be given by users older than 13. If you are younger, we ask you to ask your legal guardian for permission.
The information generated by Facebook is generally transferred to a Facebook server and stored there. This may also involve transmission to Facebook Inc. servers in the USA. Facebook Inc., based in the USA, is certified for the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield," which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.
You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To revoke your consent, remove the check mark next to the "Facebook Pixel" setting in the "Cookie Consent Tool" integrated into the website.
9.2 Google AdSense
This website uses Google AdSense, a web advertising service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). Google AdSense uses cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. Google AdSense also uses web beacons (small, invisible graphics) to collect information. These can be used to record, collect, and analyze simple actions such as visitor traffic. The information generated by the cookie and/or web beacon (including your IP address) about your use of the website is typically transferred to a Google server and stored there. This information may also be transferred to Google LLC servers in the USA.
Google uses the information obtained in this way to evaluate your usage behavior with regard to AdSense ads. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google AdSense will not be merged with other Google data. The information collected by Google may be transferred to third parties if required by law and/or if third parties process this data on Google's behalf.
The described data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR for the purpose of targeting users with advertising by third-party advertisers, whose ads are displayed on this website based on the analyzed user behavior. This processing also serves our financial interest in exploiting the economic potential of our website through the paid display of personalized third-party advertising content.

9.3 Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, as part of Google Ads, conversion tracking provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords). Based on the data from the advertising campaigns, we can determine the success of the individual advertising measures. Our goal is to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to achieve a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.
The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google Ads. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block this use by deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your internet browser under the keyword "User Settings." You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. We use Google Ads based on our legitimate interest in targeted advertising pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Using Google Ads may also result in the transmission of personal data to Google LLC's servers in the USA.
In the event that personal data is transferred to Google LLC, based in the USA, Google LLC has certified itself for the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield," which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU. A current certificate can be viewed here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/list

9.4 Google Marketing Platform
This website uses the online marketing tool Google Marketing Platform, operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("GMP").
GMP uses cookies to display relevant ads for users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
In addition, GMP can use cookie IDs to track conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a GMP ad and later visits the advertiser's website using the same browser and makes a purchase through that website. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain any personal information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the extent and further use of the data collected through the use of this tool by Google and therefore inform you according to our current state of knowledge as follows: By integrating GMP, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and save your IP address. When using GMP, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
If you wish to object to participation in this tracking process, you can deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com are blocked (see https://www.google.de/settings/ads). This setting will be deleted when you deactivate your cookies. Alternatively, you can find out more about the use of cookies and make your desired settings at the Digital Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info. Finally, you can set your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set and can decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude cookies in certain cases or in general. If you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.
In the event that personal data is transferred to Google LLC, based in the USA, Google LLC has certified itself for the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield," which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU. A current certificate can be viewed here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/list

10) Web analysis services
Google (Universal) Analytics
Google (Universal) Analytics with Google Signals
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). Google (Universal) Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your shortened IP address) is typically transferred to a Google server and stored there. This may also include transmission to Google LLC servers in the USA.
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()," which ensures that the IP address is anonymized by shortening it and prevents it from being directly linked to a person. This extension shortens your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google LLC server in the USA and shortened there. In these exceptional cases, this processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.
On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide us with other services related to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google (Universal) Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent cookies from being saved by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all of the features of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
As an alternative to the browser plug-in or within browsers on mobile devices, please click on the following link to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website in the future (this opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain.

A current certificate can be viewed here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/list
This website uses the Google Signals service as an extension of Google Analytics. With Google Signals, we can have Google create cross-device reports (so-called "cross-device tracking"). If you have activated "personalized ads" in your Google Account settings and you have linked your internet-enabled devices to your Google Account, Google can analyze user behavior across devices and create database models based on this. This takes into account the logins and device types of all site visitors who were logged into a Google Account and completed a conversion. The data shows, among other things, the device on which you first clicked on an ad and the device on which the associated conversion took place. We do not receive any personal data from Google, but only statistics created based on Google Signals. The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes, which overrides the balancing of interests. You can object to the data processing by observing the aforementioned objection options. In addition, you have the option to deactivate your settings for “personalized ads” in your Google account. To do so, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de
Further information about Google Signals can be found here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de

Our website uses Google Ads Remarketing, which allows us to advertise this website in Google search results and on third-party websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

This processing is based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
Further data processing only takes place if you have given Google your consent to link your internet and app browsing history to your Google Account and to use information from your Google Account to personalize ads you view on the web.

14) Duration of storage of personal data
The duration of storage of personal data is determined based on the respective legal basis, the purpose of the processing and – where applicable – also on the respective statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).
When personal data is processed on the basis of an express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, this data will be stored until the data subject revokes his or her consent.
If there are statutory retention periods for data that are processed within the framework of legal transactions or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, these data will be routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided that they are no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continuing to store them.
When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, these data will be stored until the data subject exercises his or her right of objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, these data will be stored until the data subject exercises his or her right of objection in accordance with Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this declaration on specific processing situations, stored personal data will be deleted when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
