In order to address users whose data we have received in the context of business or business-like relationships in an even more interest-based advertising manner, we use a customer comparison function as part of Google Ads. To do this, we electronically transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (mainly email addresses and telephone numbers) to Google. Google does not have access to clear data here, but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts that the data subject has set up. This enables personalized advertising to be played out via all Google services linked to the respective Google account.
Customer data is only transmitted to Google if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.

- Google Ads conversion tracking without cookies
This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, as part of Google Ads, conversion tracking by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising material (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. We are pursuing the goal of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.
This website uses Google Ads Conversion Tracking exclusively without the use of cookies, which means that the service never sets cookies on your end device.
Instead, the local memory of your browser is used to store an individual ID assigned by Google, which enables an analysis of your use of the website. For this purpose, certain user information is processed via the ID.
The ID is set when a user clicks on an Ads ad placed by Google. If the user visits certain pages of this website, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. This means that cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained in this way is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. As part of the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. come in the US.

GMP uses cookies to serve ads 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 displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once. In addition, GMP can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a GMP ad and later, using the same browser, goes to the advertiser's website and buys something through that website. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain any personal information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and are therefore informing you as follows based on our level of knowledge: By integrating GMP, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our advertisements. 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. As part of the use of GMP, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. come in the US.
All of the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

When using Google Analytics 4, so-called "cookies" are used by default. Cookies are text files that are stored on your end device and enable an analysis of your use of a website. The information collected by cookies about your use of the website (including the IP address transmitted by your device and shortened by the last few digits, see below) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored and processed there. This may also result in information being transmitted to the servers of Google LLC based in the USA, where the information may be processed further.
When using Google Analytics 4, the IP address transmitted by your end device when you use the website is automatically and automatically collected and processed in an anonymous manner, so that a direct personal reference to the information collected is excluded. This automatic anonymization is done by shortening the last digits of the IP address transmitted by your end device by Google within member states of the European Union (EU) or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA).
On our behalf, Google uses this and other information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on your website activities or usage behavior and to provide us with other services related to your website and internet usage. The shortened IP address transmitted by your end device as part of Google Analytics 4 is not merged with other Google data.

Google Analytics 4 enables a special function, the so-called "demographic characteristics", to also generate statistics with statements about the age, gender and interests of website users based on an evaluation of interest-based advertising and using third-party information. This makes it possible to determine and differentiate between groups of users of the website for the purpose of target group-optimized alignment of marketing measures. However, data collected via the "demographic characteristics" cannot be assigned to a specific person and therefore not to you personally. This data collected via the "demographic characteristics" function is kept for two months and then deleted.

The logins and device types of all website users who were logged into a Google account and made a conversion are taken into account. The data shows, among other things, on which end device you clicked on an ad for the first time and on which end device the conversion took place. If Google Signals is used, we do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics based on Google Signals. You have the option of deactivating the "Personalized ads" function in the settings of your Google account and thus switching off the cross-device analysis in connection with Google Signals.
