Use of Google Ads conversion tracking
On our website, we use the Google Ads online advertising program and, within the scope of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google") with your consent. We use the Google Ads service to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising media (Google Adwords) on external websites. We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. Our aim is to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.
The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google Ads. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked across Google Ads customers' websites. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Clients will learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can block this use by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under the keyword "user settings". You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. We use Google Ads based on our legitimate interest in targeted advertising in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR. In the context of the use of Google Ads, there may also be a transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
You can obtain further information about Google's data protection policy at the following Internet address: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-GB
You can permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads conversion tracking by downloading and installing the Google browser plug-in available at the following link:
https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996?hl=en-GB
Please note that certain functions of this website may not be available or may be restricted if you have deactivated the use of cookies.
As far as legally required, we have obtained your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR for the processing of your data as described above. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right of revocation, deactivate this service in the Cookie Consent Tool provided on the website or alternatively follow the option described above to make an objection.
Google Marketing Platform
On our website, we use the online marketing tool Google Marketing Platform of the operator Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("GMP") with your consent.
GMP uses cookies to place ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. By means of a cookie ID, Google records which ads are placed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR.
In addition, GMP can use cookie IDs to record conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a GMP ad and later, using the same browser, visits the advertiser's website and makes a purchase via this website. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our knowledge as follows: Through the integration of GMP, Google receives the information that you have visited the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider may obtain and store your IP address. In the context of the use of GMP, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
If you wish to object to participation in this tracking procedure, you can deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com, (see https://www.google.de/settings/ads, whereby this setting will be deleted when you deactivate your cookies. Alternatively, you can contact the Digital Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info for information about setting cookies and to set your desired preferences. Finally, you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually about their acceptance or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. If you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.
You can obtain further information on the data protection provisions of GMP by Google at the following Internet address: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-GB
As far as legally required, we have obtained your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR for the processing of your data as described above. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right of revocation, deactivate this service in the Cookie Consent Tool provided on the website or alternatively follow the option described above to make an objection.
Google Tag Manager
This website uses Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. The Google Tag Manager itself does not set cookies, only tags and does not collect any personal data. The service triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
Google Analytics 4
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), to analyse the website activity.
While using Google Analytics 4, it is standard practice to employ the so-called "cookies". Cookies are text files that are stored on your terminal device and facilitate an analysis of your website activity. The information collected by cookies about your website activity (including the IP address transmitted by your terminal device, truncated by the last digits, as explained below) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored and processed there. This may also lead to the transmission of information to the servers of Google LLC, which is based in the USA, and to further processing of the information there.
When using Google Analytics 4, the IP address transmitted by your terminal device during your browsing of the website is always collected and processed automatically and by default only in an anonymised manner, so that the information collected cannot be directly traced back to a person. This automatic anonymisation is carried out by Google by truncating the IP address transmitted by your terminal device to the last few digits within member states of the European Union (EU) or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA).
Google uses this and other information on our behalf to evaluate your website activity, compile reports on your website activity and usage patterns, and to provide other services relating to your website activity and internet usage. In this context, the IP address transmitted and truncated by your terminal device within the scope of Google Analytics 4 will not be merged with other data from Google. The data collected in the context of the use of Google Analytics 4 will be stored for 2 months and then deleted.
Google Analytics 4 also facilitates the creation of statistics containing statements about the age, gender and interests of website users on the basis of an evaluation of interest-based advertising and with the aid of information from third-party providers via a special function known as "demographic characteristics". As a result, it is possible to determine and distinguish between groups of website users in order to optimise the targeting of marketing measures. However, data collected via the "demographic characteristics" cannot be assigned to a specific person and thus also not to an individual. All data collected via the "demographic characteristics" function is kept for two months and then deleted.
All of the processing described above, namely the setting of Google Analytics cookies for the storage and reading of information on the end device used by you for the website activity, will only take place if you have given us your express consent to do so pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your website activity. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service in the Cookie Consent Tool provided on the website.
In connection with this website, the Google Signals service is also used as an extension of Google Analytics 4. With Google Signals, we can have Google create cross-device reports (the so-called "cross-device tracking"). If you have activated "personalised ads" in your Google account settings and linked your internet-enabled end devices to your Google account, Google can analyse usage patterns across devices and create database models based on this if you have given your consent to the use of Google Analytics 4 in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Here, the logins and device types of all website users who were logged into a Google account and carried out a conversion are taken into account. The data reveals, among other things, the device on which you clicked on an ad for the first time and the device on which the relevant conversion took place. We do not receive any personal data from Google, but merely statistics compiled on the basis of Google Signals. You have the option of deactivating the "personalised ads" function in the settings of your Google account and thus turning off the cross-device analysis in connection with Google Signals.
If you wish to do so, please follow the instructions provided on this page:
https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en
For more information on Google Signals, please visit the following link:
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=en
We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google for our use of Google Analytics 4, which obligates Google to protect the data of our website users and not to pass it on to third parties.
So as to ensure the adherence to the European level of data protection, also in the event of any transfer of data from the EU or EEA to the USA and any potential further processing there, Google invokes the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, all of which we have contractually agreed with Google.
For additional legal information on Google Analytics 4, including a copy of the aforementioned standard contractual clauses, please visit the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
