Google Ads (formerly AdWords) and Conversion tracking

Our website uses the features of the Google Ads (formerly AdWords) and Conversion tracking. Provider of this service is Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This feature allows you to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device capabilities of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages adapted to you based on your previous usage and browsing behaviour on one device (e.g., phone) may also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC). Once you have given your consent, Google will associate your web and app browsing history with your Google Account for this purpose. That way, the same personalized advertising messages can appear on any device you sign in to with your Google Account. To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of users who are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device ad promotion.

The legal basis for the associated data processing is Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 49 (1) (a) of the GDPR in connection with your consent.

Revocation: You can revoke your consent to the use of analytical cookies at any time with effect for the future. The link to the cookie settings can be found on the bottom of the page.

Campaign Manager (formerly DoubleClick by Google)

This website also uses the online marketing tool Campaign Manager of Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Campaign Manager uses cookies with your consent to serve ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are served in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times.

In addition, the Campaign Manager can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, if a user sees a Campaign Manager ad and later visits the advertiser's website with the same browser and buys something there. According to Google, Campaign Manager cookies do not contain any personal information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to 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 level of knowledge: By integrating the Campaign Manager, Google receives the information that you have accessed 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 will find out and store your IP address.

In addition, the Campaign Manager (DoubleClick Floodlight) cookies used allow us to understand whether you are performing certain actions on our website after you have accessed or clicked on one of our display/video ads on Google or on another platform via Campaign Manager (conversion tracking). Campaign Manager uses this cookie to understand the content you have interacted with on our websites in order to be able to send you targeted advertising later.

To learn more about Campaign Manager, visit https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/enterprise/

as well as data protection at Google in general at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US.

Alternatively, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) website at http://www.networkadvertising.org .

The legal basis for the integration of Google's Campaign Manager described in this section is Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR in connection with your consent.

Revocation: You can revoke your consent to the use of marketing cookies and smart pixels at any time with effect for the future. The link to the cookie settings can be found on the bottom of the page.

Objection to data processing: You can prevent participation in this tracking procedure in various ways:

a) by setting your browser software accordingly: the suppression of third-party cookies will result in you not receiving ads from third parties;

b) by disabling cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain http://ww.googleadservices.com are blocked, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, whereby this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies;

c) by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the self-regulatory campaign "About Ads" via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies;

d) by permanent deactivation in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this offer to their full extent.

In addition, you can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookies about your use of the websites and the processing of this data by Google by https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/142293?hl=de download and install the browser plug-in available under "Display Settings", "Campaign Manager Deactivation Extension".
