Use of Google Ads conversion tracking

This website uses the online advertising programme "Google Ads" and, within the scope of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

This involves the use of advertising media (so-called Google Adwords) to advertise our offers on external websites. Our legitimate interest lies in displaying advertising that is of interest to you and in achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit.a DSGVO, namely your express consent.

Google Ads uses cookies for conversion tracking, which are set when you click on an AdWords ad placed by Google.

These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie, so cookies cannot be tracked across Ads customers' websites.

The information thus obtained is used to compile conversion statistics for Ads customers on the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag.

You cannot be personally identified with this.

If you would like to prevent tracking, you can deactivate the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings.

You can find information about Google's data protection policy here: http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

You can permanently deactivate the conversion cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly or download and install the browser plug-in available under the following link:

In this case, certain functions of this website may not be available or may only be available to a limited extent.

On this website, we use the "Facebook Pixel" of Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Facebook").If express consent has been given, this can be used to track the behaviour of users after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook advertisement. This procedure is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help to optimise future advertising measures. The data collected is anonymous for us, so we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, 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/).

You may allow Facebook and its partners to serve ads on and off Facebook. For these purposes, a cookie may be stored on your terminal device. These processing operations are only carried out when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) DSGVO. Consent to the use of the Facebook Pixel may only be given by users older than 13 years of age. If you are younger, we ask you to ask your legal guardians for permission. You can deactivate the use of cookies on your computer by setting your browser accordingly. However, this may mean that some functions on our Internet pages can no longer be fully used.

9.2 Pinterest tag conversion tracking

On our website, we use the conversion tracking technology "Pinterest Tag" of Pinterest Europe Ltd, Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "Pinterest").

If you come to our website via a pin on Pinterest, a cookie is set on your computer that interacts with a built-in "tag" (JavaScript code) from Pinterest. These cookies have a validity of 180 days. They do not serve to identify you personally.

If a user is redirected from a pin on Pinterest to pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, the tag records certain user movements and can track these (e.g. search queries on the website, calls to product pages). This allows Pinterest to create statistics about the usage behaviour on our website after forwarding a Pinterest pin. We can use these to improve our offers.

You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. In order to exercise your revocation, please follow the aforementioned option for making an objection.

If you do not wish to be tracked, you can also object to this by deactivating the Pinterest tag conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

- Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 DSGVO:

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data as long as the accuracy of your data disputed by you is being verified, if you refuse the deletion of your data due to inadmissible data processing and instead request the restriction of the processing of your data, if you require your data for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims after we no longer need this data after the purpose has been achieved, or if you have lodged an objection for reasons relating to your particular situation as long as it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate grounds prevail;

Where the processing of personal data relating to you has been restricted, such data may be processed, except for storage, only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of substantial public interest of the Union or a Member State. If the restriction of processing has been restricted, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

- Right to erasure pursuant to Article 17 of the GDPR:

You have the right to have your personal data deleted without delay if the conditions of Art. 17 (1) DSGVO are met. However, this right to erasure does not exist in particular - not conclusively - if the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If you make use of this right of objection, we will terminate the processing of your data if there are no demonstrably overriding compelling reasons worthy of protection for the termination or if the further processing serves the exercise or defence of legal claims.
