8.14 Online marketing
8.14.1 Facebook Pixel
Within our online offer, the “Facebook Pixel” of the social network Facebook is used, which is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”).
If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us and played on Facebook, an addition is added to the URL of our linked page by Facebook Pixel. If our site allows data to be shared with Facebook via Pixel, this URL parameter is inscribed in the user’s browser via a cookie that our linked site sets itself. This cookie is then read by Facebook Pixel and enables the data to be forwarded to Facebook.
With the help of the Facebook Pixel, it is possible for Facebook, on the one hand, to determine the visitors to our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “Facebook Ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited), which we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not have a harassing effect. This allows us to further evaluate the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion”).
The data collected is anonymous for us, so it does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook data usage policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data may enable Facebook and its partners to place advertisements on and outside of Facebook.
The data processing associated with the use of the Facebook Pixel is only carried out with your express consent on the basis of Art. 6 (1) point a DSGVO.
The information generated by Facebook is usually transmitted to a Facebook server and stored there; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website
8.14.2 Google AdSense
This website uses Google AdSense, a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). Google AdSense uses so-called “cookies,” which are text files saved on your computer that facilitate an analysis of your use of our website.

The IP addresses transferred by your browser as part of Google AdSense are not associated with other data from Google. The information collected by Google may also be transmitted to third parties under some circumstances, if this is required by law and/or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
The data processing described here is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR, for the purpose of displaying targeted advertising to the user by advertising third parties, whose ads are displayed based on the analyzed user behavior on this website.

By analyzing the data from the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. This is part of our mission to show advertisements to you that are of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to ensure that the advertising costs incurred are calculated fairly.
The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an Ads advertisement placed by Google. Cookies are small text files saved on your device.

Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on the ad and were transferred to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that could be used to personally identify the user. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can block the use of tracking by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie through your web browser using the keyword “user settings.” You will then no longer be included in conversion tracking statistics.
