Advertising tracking      

Use of Google Analytics 4

We use the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; "Google") on our website. The data processing serves the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. For this purpose, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The following information may be collected: IP address, date and time of the page view, click path, information about the browser and device you are using, pages visited, referrer URL (website from which you accessed our website), location data, purchase activities. Your data may be linked by Google with other data, such as your search history, your personal accounts, your usage data from other devices and all other data that Google has about you.

The IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Your personal data is processed with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

We also use the Google Signals service in this context. Google Signals enables cross-device tracking. Your data can therefore be analyzed across devices if you have activated "personalized advertising" in your account settings and your end devices are linked to your Google account. This makes it possible to recognize on which device you search for products and later return to complete purchases on another device, such as a tablet.

The cross-device reports created in this context only contain aggregated data. We therefore only receive statistics generated on the basis of Google Signals. To prevent Google Signals from collecting and storing data across devices, you can deactivate the "personalized ads" function in the settings of your Google account. You can find further information on this at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de (https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de).

The information generated about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. An adequacy decision by the EU Commission is in place for the USA, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Google has certified itself in accordance with the TADPF and has therefore undertaken to comply with European data protection principles. Both Google and US government authorities have access to your data.

Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites (https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites) and at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de (https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de).  

Use of Google Ads conversion tracking
We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on our website and in this context conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Google).
When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Thus, there is no possibility that cookies can be tracked across Ads customers' websites.
The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used for the purpose of creating conversion statistics. Here, we learn the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.
Your data may be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. For the USA, an adequacy decision of the EU Commission is in place, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF).
