Facebook Pixel

This website uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook for conversion tracking. The provider of this service is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook's statement, the collected data is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.

This allows the behavior of website visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook advertisement. This enables the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and helps optimize future advertising campaigns.

The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, allowing a connection to the respective user profile. Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Policy. As a result, Facebook can enable the placement of advertisements on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook.

The use of Facebook Pixel is based on Article. 6 paragraph. Line1 of DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media. If consent has been obtained (e.g., consent for storing cookies), processing is exclusively based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

Google Adwords and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ('Google').

As part of Google AdWords, we use what is called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personally identifying the users. If the user visits specific pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers 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 any information that would personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie through your internet browser settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of 'conversion cookies' is based on Article. 6 paragraph. 1 line. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its web offering and its advertising.

More information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google's privacy policy Link

Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
