Our website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics, which is provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). If you are habitually resident in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the data controller and is responsible for data processing and compliance with applicable data protection laws.

Youtube

We use the YouTube video embedding feature on our website provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; "YouTube"), a company affiliated with Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). The feature displays videos stored on YouTube in an iFrame on the website. The option "Advanced Privacy Mode" is activated. As a result, YouTube does not store any information about visitors to the website. Only when you watch a video will information about it be sent to YouTube and stored there.

Retargeting technologies

At best, we use the remarketing or "Similar Target Groups" function of Google and Facebook. This feature allows us to target you with advertisements on the sites by showing personalized, interest-based ads to users of the site when you visit other sites. The providers use cookies to help the website analyze how users use the site, which is the basis for creating interest-based advertisements.

For this purpose, the provider stores a small file with a sequence of numbers in the browsers of the website users. This number is used to record visits to the website and anonymous data on the use of the website. There is no storage of personal data of the users of the website. If you subsequently visit another website in the partner network of the respective provider, you may be shown advertisements that most likely include previously accessed product and information areas.

Google Ads

We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on our website and, in this context, conversion tracking (visitor action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). If you are habitually resident in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the data controller and is responsible for data processing and compliance with applicable data protection laws.

When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our site and the cookie has not expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, there is no way that cookies can be tracked through the sites of ad customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who have clicked on one of our ads and been redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive information that personally identifies users. Your information may be transferred to the USA.

Facebook Ads

We sometimes use the "pixel" of Facebook on our websites, which is provided by Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. This allows us to track the behavior of users after they have clicked on an ad on Facebook. This allows us to evaluate ads for statistical and market research purposes and to optimize future advertising efforts.

This feature is also used to present interest-based advertisements ("Facebook Ads") to visitors of this website as part of their visit to the social network Facebook. For this purpose, Facebook pixels have been implemented on our website. Facebook pixels are used to establish a direct connection to the Facebook servers when visiting the website. In doing so, it is transmitted to the Facebook server that you have visited this website and Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account.

No personal data is made available to us in the process. At the same time, the data is also stored and processed by Facebook itself so that Facebook can connect to the respective Facebook user profile. Facebook may use this data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy. The consent to this is within the scope of Facebook and cannot be influenced by us.

By using Google Maps, information about the use of this website, including your IP address and the (start) address entered in the route planner function, can be transmitted to Google in the USA.
