Analysis tools and advertising

 

Use of Google Ads

We use Google Ads, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (‘Google’), to place advertisements for our offers in Google search results and on third-party websites. As part of Google Ads, we use conversion tracking, among other things, to measure the effectiveness of our advertisements.

When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is stored on your device. This cookie does not contain any personal data and is used solely for statistical analysis. With the help of the cookie, we and Google can recognise that you clicked on an ad and were redirected to our website. Each Google Ads customer receives their own cookie, so that tracking across other customers' websites is not possible.

 

Legal basis for use

Your data is processed on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, which you have given via our cookie banner.

 

Data transmission and storage

The data collected by the conversion cookie is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, Google undertakes to comply with the data protection standards applicable in the EU by concluding appropriate standard contractual clauses in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR.

Further information about Google's use of data in connection with Google Ads can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy

 

Withdrawal of consent

You can withdraw your consent to the use of Google Ads and conversion tracking at any time by adjusting the relevant settings in our cookie banner or deleting the cookies in your browser. Alternatively, you can disable personalised advertising directly with Google. Further information can be found here: https://adssettings.google.com/

 

Privacy policy for Google Tag Manager – Use of Google Tag Manager

Our website uses Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (‘Google’). Google Tag Manager is used to manage website tags via an interface. Tags are small code elements that are used, among other things, to analyse traffic and visitor behaviour on our website, measure the effectiveness of online advertising and social channels, set up remarketing and targeting, and optimise our website.

Google Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) does not collect any personal data. It merely triggers other tags, which may in turn collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at domain or cookie level (e.g. via the consent banner), this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Further information about Google Tag Manager can be found at: https://support.google.com/tagmanager/

 

Legal basis for use

Processing is carried out on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, provided that you have given your consent in the cookie banner.

If no consent is obtained, processing is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in optimising our website and improving our online offering.

 

Data transfer

It cannot be ruled out that Google may transfer data to the United States. Please note that an adequate level of data protection may not be guaranteed in the United States. We have concluded standard contractual clauses with Google to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

 

IP anonymisation


We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information 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 IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Contact form


If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent. The data entered in the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
