Google Ads

This website uses the Google AdWords online advertising programme and, as part of Google AdWords, the conversion tracking of Google Inc (1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). A cookie for conversion tracking is generated when a user clicks on an advert placed by Google AdWords. Cookies are text files that are placed on your computer system. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google or Google AdWords and we can ascertain that the user has clicked on the AdWords advert and has been redirected to this website. Each website visitor receives a different cookie. Cookies therefore cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. This outlines the total number of users who clicked on an AdWords advert and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. The website does not receive any information, however, with which users can be personally identified. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can opt out of this by deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your internet browser under User Settings.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc (1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google Analytics uses so-called Cookies, text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the use of IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly. We would, however, like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

Remarketing tags of the Facebook social network (Facebook Inc, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA) are integrated on our pages.

Conversion measurement with Facebook’s visitor action pixel

The visitor action pixel of Facebook (Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA) is used on our pages. We can use this to track the actions of users after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. This allows us to measure the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is presented to us in an anonymous format, which means that we do not see the personal data of individual users. This data is stored and processed by Facebook, however. We will inform you about this according to our level of knowledge. Facebook may connect this data to your Facebook account and also use it for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s data usage policy https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
