DATA COLLECTION ON OUR WEBSITE COOKIES
The websites partially use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our offer more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer and stored by your browser.

You can configure your browser to notify you about the setting of cookies, accept cookies on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of their services. Cookies stored for other purposes (e.g., cookies to analyze your browsing behavior) are treated separately in this privacy policy.

The provider of the pages collects and stores automatically information in so-called server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:
- Browser type and version

ANALYSIS TOOLS AND ADVERTISING GOOGLE ANALYTICS
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses cookies. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its web offering and its advertising.
IP Anonymization
We have enabled the IP anonymization feature on this website. This means that Google will shorten your IP address within EU member states or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide further services related to website and internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
Browser Plugin
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all features of this website fully. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Objection to Data Collection
You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set, preventing the collection of your data on future visits to this website: Google Analytics deactivate.
For more information on how Google Analytics handles user data, please refer to Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.
Order Data Processing
We have concluded a contract for order data processing with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Demographic Features in Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics' “demographic features” feature. This allows reports to be created that include statements about the age, gender, and interests of the site visitors. These data come from interest-based advertising by Google and from third-party visitor data. These data cannot be attributed to a specific person. You can deactivate this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the "Objection to Data Collection" section.
Google Analytics Remarketing
Our websites use Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device capabilities of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
This function allows remarketing audiences created with Google Analytics Remarketing to be linked with Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick's cross-device capabilities. This way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been tailored to your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., mobile phone) can also be displayed on another device (e.g., tablet or PC).
If you have given corresponding consent, Google links your web and app browser history to your Google account for this purpose. This allows personalized advertising messages to be displayed on any device where you are logged into your Google account.
To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked with our Google Analytics data to define and create target groups for cross-device display advertising.
You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by disabling personalized advertising in your Google account; please follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The summary of collected data in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you can give or withdraw at Google (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). For data collection processes not merged into your Google account (e.g., if you do not have a Google account or objected to the merging), the data collection is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest is based on the website operator's interest in the anonymous analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.
Further information and privacy policies can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.
Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google AdWords, an online advertising program from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
As part of Google AdWords, we use Conversion Tracking. When you click on an advertisement served by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the user's computer by the internet browser. These cookies 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 expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customers' websites. The information collected through the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords 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 could personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can object to the use by disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your browser settings. You will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The storage of "conversion cookies" is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both the web offer and advertising.
For more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, please refer to Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
You can set your browser to notify you when cookies are set and allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases, or generally disable cookies and enable automatic deletion when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Facebook Pixel
Our website uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook, Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook") for conversion measurement.
This allows us to track the behavior of visitors to the site after they were redirected from a Facebook ad. This enables us to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and to optimize future advertising efforts.
The collected data is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so it is possible to connect the data to the respective user profile, and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook's data usage policy. This allows Facebook to serve ads on Facebook pages as well as outside Facebook. We, as the site operator, cannot influence this data usage.
Further information about the protection of your privacy can be found in Facebook's privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
You can also deactivate the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" under the ad settings at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. To do this, you must be logged into Facebook.
If you do not have a Facebook account, you can disable usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.
