2.3.4.3 Google Conversion-Tracking
In the context of Google AdWords we use the so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad taken out by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser places on the user's computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and ourselfes can recognise that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they will not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your Internet browser under User Settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Conversion cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

2.3.4.5 Facebook Remarketing / Retargeting
This website uses remarketing tags, such as Facebook Pixel from the social network Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. The remarketing tags establish a direct connection between the Facebook server and the user's browser when visiting our website. This will transmit to the Facebook server which of our websites the user has visited with his IP address. This information is available to us for use when displaying Facebook Ads. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimised. Facebook assigns this information to the user’s personal Facebook account. We expressly point out that we are not aware of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. The collected data is anonymous to us, and we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users.

The plug-ins are indicated on our website by the logos of the respective companies or e.g. the addition “Like” and/or “Recommend”. When you visit a website on our Internet site that contains such a plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective company, which in turn transmits the content of the plug-in to your browser and integrates it into the displayed website. This will forward the information that you have visited our website to such companies. We have no influence on the data collected and on data processing, nor are we aware of the full extent of data collection, the purposes of processing or the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the data collected by the plug-in provider.

Such an evaluation takes place in particular (also for users who are not logged in) for the representation of advertisement tailored to suit a market need and in order to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right of objection to the creation of these user profiles, and you need to contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. Through the plug-ins we offer you the possibility to interact with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Vimeo also obtains your IP address. This also applies if you are not logged in to Vimeo or do not have an account with Vimeo. The information collected by Vimeo is transmitted to the Vimeo server in the USA. If you are logged in to your Vimeo account, you allow Vimeo to associate your surfing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account.
