In cases where such a process serves other purposes (e.g. the needs-based design of our website), it will only be carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TTDSG with your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time for the future. The requirements of the GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) apply to the processing of your personal data.

Additional data may be provided in order to address you personally in the newsletter and/or to identify you if you wish to exercise your rights regarding data privacy.

Our website uses Google Analytics, an internet analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies".
Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, and compiling reports on website activity. Google will also use this information to provide the website operator with other services related to the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address sent by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. The processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR on the basis of the consent given by you.
We use Google Analytics only with IP anonymization enabled. This means that your IP address is only processed by Google in a shortened form.
We have concluded a data processing contract with the service provider, in which we oblige him to protect our customers' data and not to pass it on to third parties.
Since a transfer of personal data to the USA takes place, further protection mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection of the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Article 46 (2) (c) of the GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Deletion of user-level and event-level data linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., user ID), and advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID, IDFA [Apple identifier for advertisers]) takes place no later than 14 months after their collection.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting the settings of your browser software accordingly. However, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website without restrictions. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and from analysing your use of the website (including your IP address) and from having this data processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de .
We use "Google Ads" on our website, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "Google"). We use Google Ads for marketing and optimization purposes, in particular to display ads that are relevant and interesting to you.
If you have given us your consent to do so pursuant to Article 6 (1) sentence 1 (a) of the GDPR, we can use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising media. This allows us to determine how successful individual advertising measures are.
These advertisements are delivered by Google via so-called "AdServers". We use so-called AdServer cookies for this purpose, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as display of the ads or clicks by the users, can be measured.
If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your PC. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days. They are not intended to identify you personally. The following information is usually stored as analysis values for this cookie: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed). These cookies enable Google to recognize your web browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Ads customer's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. A different cookie is assigned to each Ads customer. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across Ads customers' websites. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can see which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising media; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of Google Ads. According to our knowledge, Google receives the information that you have called up the relevant part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you have a user account with Google and are registered, Google can assign the visit to your user account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is the possibility that Google learns your IP address and stores it.
Since a transfer of personal data to the USA takes place, further protection mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection of the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Article 46 (2) (c) of the GDPR.

Facebook Pixel enables Facebook to display our ads on Facebook, so-called "Facebook Ads", only to those Facebook users who were visitors to our internet presence, in particular who have shown interest in our online offer. Facebook Pixel also makes it possible in this case to check whether a user was redirected to our website after clicking on our Facebook Ads. Facebook Pixel uses, among other things, cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored locally in the cache of your web browser on your end device. If you are logged in to Facebook with your user account, your visit to our online presence will be noted in your user account. The data collected about you is anonymous for us, so it does not offer us any conclusions about the identity of the user. However, this data can be linked by Facebook with your user account there. If you have a user account with Facebook and are registered, Facebook can assign the visit to your user account.
