Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking
We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on our website and, in this context, conversion tracking (action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).
If you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and therefore do not serve 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. Thus, it is not possible for cookies to be tracked across the websites of Ads customers.
The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie serves the purpose of creating conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can personally identify users.
Your data may be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. There is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for the USA.

Use of Google AdSense
We use the AdSense function of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) on our website.

Use of Social Plug-ins
We use social network plug-ins on our website. The integration of social plug-ins and the associated data processing serves the purpose of optimizing the advertising for our products.
When social plug-ins are integrated, a connection is established between your computer and the servers of the social network providers, and the plug-in is displayed on the page by notifying your browser, provided you have expressly consented to this. In doing so, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Transmission also takes place for unregistered or logged-out users. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information can also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. When using the plug-in functions (e.g., by pressing the button), this information is also assigned to your user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.
The use of cookies or comparable technologies takes place with your consent on the basis of Section 25 (1) Sentence 1 TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. The processing of your personal data takes place with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.
