Google Analytics 4
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), which enables an analysis of your use of our website.
By default, Google Analytics 4 does not use cookies when you visit the website unless you explicitly consent to cookies. Instead, information about your usage behavior is collected and processed through so-called pings (small data packets sent to the host of a device). This information also includes your IP address, which Google truncates to prevent it from being directly linked to a person.
The information is transferred to Google servers and processed there. This may also involve transfers to Google LLC, based in the USA.
Google uses the information collected on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for us, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted and abbreviated by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. The data collected as part of the use of Google Analytics 4 will be stored for a period of two months and then deleted.
All processing described above, including data transmission via “pings” and the possible setting of Google Analytics cookies, will only take place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the site. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service using the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google that ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
Further legal information about Google Analytics 4 can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/ , https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de and under https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
Demographic characteristics
Google Analytics 4 uses the special "demographic characteristics" feature to create statistics that provide information about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This is done by analyzing advertising and information from third parties. This allows target groups to be identified for marketing activities. However, the collected data cannot be assigned to a specific person and is deleted after a storage period of two months.
Google Signals
As an extension to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals can be used on this website to generate cross-device reports. If you have enabled personalized ads and linked your devices to your Google Account, Google can analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including for cross-device conversions, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you would like to stop cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the "Personalized Advertising" function in your Google Account settings. To do so, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de For more information about Google Signals, please visit the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de

11) Retargeting/remarketing and conversion tracking
Meta Pixel with advanced data comparison
Within our online offering, we use the "Meta Pixel" service of the following provider in the extended data matching mode: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta")
If a user clicks on an ad placed by us on Facebook or Instagram, a parameter is added to the URL of our linked page using "Meta Pixel." This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser after redirection via a cookie set by our linked page. Furthermore, this cookie records specific customer data, such as the email address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook or Instagram ad during transactions such as purchases, account registrations, or registrations (extended data matching). The cookie is then read and enables the transmission of the data, including the specific customer data, to Meta.
We use "Meta Pixel" with advanced data matching to make our advertisements (so-called "ads") on Facebook and/or Instagram more effective and to ensure that they correspond to the interests of users or have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined based on the websites visited) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "custom audiences").
In addition, we analyze the effectiveness of our ads by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an ad (conversion). Compared to the standard "Meta Pixel" variant, the enhanced data matching feature helps us better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by tracking more attributed conversions.
All transmitted data is stored and processed by Meta so that it can be assigned to the respective user profile and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Meta's data usage guidelines ( https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ ). The data may enable Meta and its partners to place ads on and off Facebook.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
The information generated by Meta is generally transferred to a Meta server and stored there; in this context, it may also be transferred to Meta Platforms Inc. servers in the USA.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.
A further legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. As the controller, we are legally obliged to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.
Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

If you exercise your right to object, we will stop processing the data in question. However, we reserve the right to continue processing if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT OF OBJECTION, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.
15) Duration of storage of personal data
The duration of storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of the processing and – where applicable – also by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).
When processing personal data on the basis of express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, the data concerned will be stored until you revoke your consent.
If there are statutory retention periods for data that are processed within the framework of legal transactions or obligations similar to legal transactions 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 to fulfil or initiate 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 you exercise your right of objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
When processing personal data for the purpose of direct advertising on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, these data will be stored until you exercise your right of objection in accordance with Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this statement 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.
