Using the Meta Pixel
We use the Meta Pixel from Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland; "Meta") on our website.
Meta and we are joint controllers for the collection of your data that occurs when the service is integrated and for the transfer of this data to Meta. This is based on an agreement between us and Meta regarding the joint processing of personal data, which defines our respective responsibilities. The agreement is available athttps://de-de.facebook.com/legal/terms/businesstools. According to this agreement, we are specifically responsible for fulfilling the information obligations under Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR, for complying with the security requirements of Article 32 of the GDPR with regard to the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service, and for fulfilling the obligations under Articles 33 and 34 of the GDPR, to the extent that a personal data breach affects our obligations under the joint processing agreement. Meta is responsible for ensuring that data subjects’ rights under Articles 15–20 of the GDPR are upheld, for complying with the security requirements of Article 32 of the GDPR with regard to the security of the service, and for fulfilling the obligations under Articles 33 and 34 of the GDPR, to the extent that a personal data breach affects Meta’s obligations under the joint processing agreement.
The purpose of this application is to target website visitors with interest-based advertising on the social networks Facebook and Instagram. To this end, Meta’s remarketing tag has been implemented on the website. When you visit the website, this tag establishes a direct connection to Meta’s servers. This transmits information to Meta’s servers about which of our pages you have visited. Meta associates this information with your personal Facebook and/or Instagram user account. When you visit Facebook or Instagram, you will then be shown personalized, interest-based ads.
The application is also used to generate conversion statistics. This allows us to determine the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag, as well as the actions taken after being redirected to that website. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
Your data may be transferred to the United States. The European Commission has issued an adequacy decision for the United States, known as the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Meta has obtained certification under the TADPF and has thereby committed to complying with European data protection principles.
Your personal data is processed with your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent prior to its withdrawal.
You can disable the “Custom Audiences” remarketing feature here. For more information on Meta’s collection and use of data, your rights in this regard, and options for protecting your privacy, please see Meta’s Privacy Policy athttps://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.


Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking
We use the online advertising program “Google Ads” on our website and, as part of this, conversion tracking (visitor action analysis). Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Google).
When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is stored on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity period, do not contain any personal data, and therefore cannot be used to identify you personally. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet 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, it is not possible to track cookies across the websites of Ads customers.
The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics. This allows us to determine the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. 
We use the advanced implementation of Advanced Consent Mode. Under this mode, user data is transmitted to Google in the form of “pings” even if consent has not been granted. These pings may contain, among other things, the following information: IP address to determine the country of origin (the IP address is not logged), the date and time the page was viewed, the URLs of the pages visited, the user agent, the referrer URL (the website from which our website was accessed), or information about the triggering of website events, such as a conversion. Based on this information, Google models user data to perform a comprehensive usage analysis despite the refusal of consent. 
Your data may be transferred to Google LLC’s servers in the United States. An adequacy decision by the European Commission is in place for the United States: the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Google has obtained certification under the TADPF and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection principles.
The use of cookies or similar technologies is based on your consent pursuant to Section 25(1), sentence 1 of the TDDDG in conjunction with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. The processing of your personal data is based on your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent prior to its withdrawal.

has obtained certification under the TADPF and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection principles. Google may transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the data on Google’s behalf.

The use of cookies or similar technologies is based on your consent pursuant to Section 25(1), Sentence 1 of the TDDDG in conjunction with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

TikTok may associate this information with your personal TikTok user account. Usage profiles may be created from the data collected in this way using pseudonyms. However, this does not allow for the personal identification of users.

Use of the Awin Affiliate Program
We use the “Awin” affiliate program operated by AWIN AG (Eichhornstraße 3, 10785 Berlin; “Awin”).
When you click on an advertisement containing an affiliate link, Awin places a cookie on your computer for conversion tracking. The cookies serve the purpose of ensuring accurate billing within the affiliate program by tracking the performance of an advertising medium. The cookies recognize that you clicked on the ad and allow the advertiser to trace the origin of the order.
