4 Analytical tools and advertising
4.1 Google Analytics
This website uses functions provided by 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 which allow your use of a website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie concerning your use of this website is usually transferred to a server in the USA and stored there.
Google Analytics cookies are stored in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 GDPR. The website owner has a legitimate interesting in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both the web content and advertisements on the site.
IP anonymization
The IP anonymization function is activated on this website. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or other signatories of the European Economic Area before it is transferred to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred by Google to a server in the USA and shortened there instead. Google will use this information on behalf of the owner of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to render other related services for the owner of the website pertaining to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of the Google Analytics process will not be pooled with other data held by Google.
Browser plugins
You can prevent the storing of cookies by adjusting the corresponding setting in your internet browser; we advise you, however, that doing so may prevent you from using all of the functions of this website to their fullest extent. You can furthermore prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Objecting to the collection of your data
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking on the link below. This places an opt-out cookie that stops your data being collected when you visit the website in the future: Deactivate Google Analytics
More information about Google Analytics’ handling of user data can be found in Google’s data privacy statement: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en
Order data processing
We have signed an agreement with Google concerning the processing of order data and enforce in full the strict guidelines of the German data protection authorities with regard to the use of Google Analytics.
4.2 Google Analytics Remarketing
Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
This function allows target advertising audiences generated by Google Analytics Remarketing to be connected with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This allows for personalised advertising messages based on your interests and that have been adapted for you based on your earlier surfing behaviour on an end device (e.g. a mobile phone) to be displayed on another end device (e.g. a tablet or PC).
To this end, if you have given the corresponding consent, Google will synchronise your web and app browser history with your Google account. The same personalised advertising messages can thus be switched to whichever end device where your Google account is logged in.
To support this function, Google Analytics collects the Google-authenticated IDs of users, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data in order to define and create target audiences for cross-device advertising.
You can permanently decline cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalised advertising in your Google account; to do so, follow this link: https://adssettings.google.com/anonymous?hl=en.
This data can only be combined with that of your Google account with your express consent, which you can grant or revoke through Google itself (Art. 6 Paragraph 1 GDPR). For data collection procedures that will not be merged with that in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have declined for this information to be merged), the data will be collected in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the website owner’s interest in the anonymous analysis of visitors to the website for the purposes of advertising.
More in-depth information and data protection regulations can be found in Google’s data privacy statement at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en.
4.3 Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising programme operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (‘Google’).
In the course of using Google AdWords, we also make use of so-called ‘conversion tracking’. When you click on an advertisement delivered by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed. Cookies are small text files that a web browser places on the user’s computer. These cookies become invalid after 30 days and cannot be used to identify a user. If the user visits particular pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that the user has clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to this website.
Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be traced beyond the websites of AdWords customers. The information gathered by conversion cookies is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers are able to view the total number of users who have clicked on their advertisement and were redirected to a webpage with an active conversion tracking tag. They do not, however, receive any information with which the users could personally be identified. If you do not wish to take part in this tracking, you can oppose this use by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie in the settings tab of your web browser. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
Conversion cookies are stored in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 GDPR. The website owner has a legitimate interesting in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both the web content and advertisements on the site.
More information about Google AdWords and Google conversion tracking can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en.
You can set up your browser so that it informs you when cookies are placed and only accepts them on a case-by-case basis, to accept cookies only in certain circumstances or decline them as a rule, as well as automatically to delete cookies when you close the browser window. Deactivating cookies can inhibit the functionality of this website.
4.4 Facebook Pixel
Our website uses Facebook pixel for the purposes of conversion tracking, developed by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”).
This allows us to monitor the behaviour of visitors to our site who click on a Facebook advertisement and are redirected to the website of the provider who placed the advertisement. The efficacy of Facebook ads can therefore be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertisements optimised accordingly.
The data that we see as the owner of this website is anonymous - we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. This data is, however, stored and processed by Facebook in order that it can make a connection to the relevant user profile, and so that Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with their data policy. Facebook is therefore able to place advertisements on Facebook pages as well as on other websites. As a website owner, we have no influence over the usage of this data.
Further information about protecting your personal information can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
You can also deactivate the ‘Custom Audiences’ remarketing function in the settings menu for advertisements at: https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen You must be logged in to Facebook in order to do this.
If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate usage-based advertisements from Facebook on this website through the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.
4.5 Google Tag Manager
This website uses Google’s Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags through an interface. The Tool Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-free domain and does not collect any personal data. Google Tag Manager tracks a series of tags and triggers that determine when these tags should be used on your website. When a user visits the website, the current tag configuration is sent to the user’s browser. This contains an indication of which tags have been triggered. More information about how Google Tag Manager works can be viewed at: https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6102821?hl=en&topic=2574304&ctx=topic&visit_id=0-636626721649627488-454559807&rd=2
