The use of Google web fonts is necessary for the complete and correct display of our online offering. This is a legitimate interest as defined in Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a font type supported by your computer will be used.

Google-Re/Marketing-Services/Google Adwords Conversion Tracking Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interests in the analyzation, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering as defined under Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR), we use marketing and remarketing services of Google (“Google marketing services”). Google marketing services enable to present advertisements on our website that are focused on displaying only information that is potentially of interest to our Users. Remarketing means that a User will be shown ads for products that the User showed interest in on other websites. This means that in case a User visits our website or other websites that use Google marketing services, a Google based code will be activated and so called Google remarketing tags (unseen graphics or code also known as “web beacons”) will be tied into the websites. With this, an individual cookie (or similar technologies) will be stored on the User’s device. The cookies can be set by different domains including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. The cookie will register which websites the User accesses and what content the User is interested in as well as what offers the User has clicked on, technical information about the User’s browser and processing system, referred websites, visit times and other data related to the use of the online offering. The User’s IP address will also be stored. The User’s IP address will not be used for other Google offerings. The aforementioned information can also be combined by Google with information from other sources. If a User visits another website, content of interest can be shown to the User . User data is utilized by Google marketing services using a pseudonym. Therefore, Google does not store or utilize User names or email addresses but uses the relevant cookie data as part of anonymous User profiles. This means that as far as Google is concerned, ads are not used or shown for a Data Subject but for a cookie owner, regardless of who thecookie owner is. This does not apply if a User has allowed Google to utilize data without a pseudonym. The information collected by Google marketing services are shared with Google and stored on the Google servers in the US. Among the Google marketing services that we use there is also the online marketing tool called “Google AdWords.” As part of Google Adwords we use so called “conversion tracking.” Google Adwords installs a cookie (more information about cookies can be found in the Cookie section of this document) on your computer if you accessed our website using a Google advert. These cookies are active for 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If a User visits certain pages on the websites of Adwords customers and the cookie has not yet expired, then Google and the customer can see that the User has clicked on the advert and was redirected to this page. To every Adwords customer is assigned a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked via Adwords customer websites. Using information obtained by conversion-cookies, conversion statistics can be created for Adwords customers that use the conversion-tracking tool. Adwords customers are provided with the total User number that clicked on their advert and who were transferred to a conversion tracking tag using website. However, Adwords customers do not receive any information that make it possible to identify the Users. The storage of conversion cookies is allowed based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of User behavior to optimize the web offering and related advertising. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can deactivate the relevant cookies using the browser settings so that the automatic use of cookies is blocked. Cookies for conversion tracking can be deactivated by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com are blocked. Google’s data privacy information concerning conversion tracking is available at https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html. More information about Google AdWords and Google conversion tracking is available in the privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/. Facebook Social Plugins Usage Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interests in the analyzation, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering as defined under Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. GDPR), we use social plugins (“plugins”) of the network facebook.com which belongs to Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). These plugins can be interactive elements or content (i.e. videos, graphics, or texts) and are recognizable by the Facebook logo (a white F on a blue tile, the term “like,” or a “thumbs up” symbol) or by the addition of the label “Facebook social plugin.” For a list and visual on the Facebook social plugins please use: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. In case a User activates a function of this online offering that uses such a plug in, the User’s device establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugins will be sent directly by Facebook to the device of the User and will be integrated into the online offering. By doing this, the processed Personal Data can be used to set up a User profile. Therefore, we cannot control the Personal Data that Facebook processes and informs Users about the usage these plugins according to our knowledge. By using the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a User of our website accessed. If the User is logged into Facebook, then Facebook can connect the visit of the website with  Facebook accounts. If Users interact with the plugins, by for example pressing the “Like” button or by leaving a comment, then this information is sent directly by the User’s device to Facebook and will be saved. If the User is not a member of Facebook, it is still possible for Facebook to identify and store the User’s IP address. According to Facebook, it only maintains an anonymous IP address list in Germany. The use and extent of data collection as well as the Data Processing and use of the Personal Data by Facebook and the related rights and setting possibilities to protect the User’s privacy can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. If a User is a member of Facebook and does not wish Facebook to collect Personal Data via this online offering and connect this Personal Data with the User’s saved membership data, then the User has to log out of our online offering at Facebook and delete the related cookies. Further settings and consent withdrawal concerning the use of data for marketing purposes are available under : https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or at the American webpage: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the UE webpage: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/.
