18. Google Analytics

18.1. Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google LLC (“Google”). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about users' use of the online offering is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

18.2. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee that it will comply with European data protection law (privacyshield.gov).

18.3. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offering by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offering and to provide us with other services related to the use of this online offering and internet usage. Pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.

18.4. We use Google Analytics to show the advertisements placed within the advertising services of Google and its partners only to those users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products) based on the information they visit websites) that we transmit to Google (so-called “remarketing” or “Google Analytics audiences”). With the help of remarketing audiences, we also want to ensure that our ads match the potential interest of users and do not appear annoying.

18.5. We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization activated. This means that the user's IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

18.6. The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; Users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the online offering and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: tools.google.com .

18.7. Further information on data usage by Google, settings and objection options can be found on the Google websites: google.com (“Use of data by Google when you use our partners’ websites or apps”), policies.google.com (“Use of data for advertising purposes”). ), adssettings.google.com (“Manage information Google uses to show you ads”).

19. Google Re/Marketing Services

19.1. Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use the marketing and remarketing services (“Google Marketing Services” for short ”) of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, (“Google”).

19.2. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee that it will comply with European data protection law (privacyshield.gov).

19.3. The Google marketing services allow us to display advertisements for and on our website in a more targeted manner in order to only show users advertisements that potentially match their interests. For example, if a user is shown ads for products that they were interested in on other websites, this is referred to as “remarketing”. For these purposes, when you visit our and other websites on which Google marketing services are active, Google directly executes a code from Google and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as “Web “Beacons”) are integrated into the website. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user's device (comparable technologies can also be used instead of cookies). The cookies can be set by various domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. This file records which websites the user has visited, what content they are interested in and which offers they have clicked on, as well as technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting time and other information about the use of the online offer. The user's IP address is also recorded, although we inform Google Analytics that the IP address is shortened within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases Transferred to servers by Google in the USA and shortened there. The IP address is not merged with the user's data within other Google offerings. Google may also combine the information mentioned above with such information from other sources. When the user then visits other websites, ads tailored to their interests can be shown to them.

19.4. User data is processed pseudonymously as part of Google marketing services. This means that Google does not store and process the user's name or email address, for example, but rather processes the relevant cookie-related data within pseudonymous user profiles. This means that from Google's perspective, the advertisements are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie holder, regardless of who the cookie holder is. This does not apply if a user has expressly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected by Google Marketing Services about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google's servers in the USA.

19.5. The Google marketing services we use include the online advertising program “Google AdWords”. In the case of Google AdWords, each AdWords customer receives a different “conversion cookie”. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

19.6. We can integrate third-party advertisements based on the Google marketing service “DoubleClick”. DoubleClick uses cookies that enable Google and its partner websites to serve ads based on users' visits to this website or other websites on the Internet.

19.7. We can integrate third-party advertisements based on the Google marketing service “AdSense”. AdSense uses cookies to enable Google and its partner websites to serve ads based on users' visits to this website or other websites on the Internet.

19.8. We can also use the “Google Optimizer” service. Google Optimizer allows us to use so-called “A/B testing” to understand the impact of various changes to a website (e.g. changes to input fields, design, etc.). Cookies are stored on users’ devices for these testing purposes. Only pseudonymous user data is processed.

19.9. We can also use the “Google Tag Manager” to integrate and manage Google analysis and marketing services into our website.

20. Facebook, Custom Audiences and Facebook Marketing Services

20.1. Within our online offering, due to our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering and for these purposes, the so-called “Facebook pixel” from the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025 , USA, or if you are based in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”) is used.

20.2. Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee that it will comply with European data protection law (privacyshield.gov).

20.3. With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able to determine the visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “Facebook ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to only show the Facebook ads we place to those Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products) based on the information they visit websites) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not appear annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook advertisement (so-called “conversion”).

20.4. Furthermore, when using the Facebook pixel, we use the additional function “extended matching” (here data such as telephone numbers, email addresses or Facebook IDs of the users) are used to form target groups (“Custom Audiences” or “Look Alike Audiences”) Facebook (encrypted) transmitted. Further information on “extended matching”:  facebook.com).

20.5. We also use the “Custom Audiences from File” process from the social network Facebook, Inc. In this case, the email addresses of the newsletter recipients are uploaded to Facebook. The upload process is encrypted. The upload is used solely to determine recipients of our Facebook ads. We want to ensure that the ads are only shown to users who are interested in our information and services.

20.6. The processing of data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook's data usage policy. Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook ads can be found in Facebook's data usage policy: facebook.com. For specific information and details about the Facebook Pixel and how it works, please visit the Facebook Help section: facebook.com.

20.7. You can object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and the use of your data to display Facebook ads. To adjust which types of advertisements are shown to you within Facebook, you can go to the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions on the settings for usage-based advertising: facebook.com. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

8/20 You can also object to the use of cookies that are used for reach measurement and advertising purposes via the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org) and also the US website (aboutads.info) or the European website (youronlinechoices.com).

21. Facebook Social Plugins

21.1. Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use social plugins (“plugins”) from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The plugins can display interaction elements or content (e.g. videos, graphics or text posts) and can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on a blue tile, the terms “Like”, “Like” or a “thumbs up” sign ) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. The list and appearance of Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: developers.facebook.com.

21.2. Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee that it will comply with European data protection law (privacyshield.gov).

21.3. When a user accesses a function of this online offering that contains such a plugin, their device establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to the user's device and integrated into the online offering. User usage profiles can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore inform users according to our level of knowledge.

21.4. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the online offering. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to their Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the Like button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your device directly to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.

21.5. The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as the related rights and setting options to protect the privacy of users can be found in Facebook's data protection information: facebook.com.

21.6. If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about them via this online offering and link it to their member data stored on Facebook, they must log out of Facebook and delete their cookies before using our online offering. Further settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: facebook.com or via the US site aboutads.info or the EU site youronlinechoices.com. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

22. Jetpack (WordPress Stats)

22.1. Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use the Jetpack plugin (here the sub-function “Wordpress Stats”), which is a Tool for statistical evaluation of visitor access and from Automattic, Inc. 132 Hawthorne Street San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. Jetpack uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analyzed.

User profiles can be created from the processed data, which are only used for analysis and not for advertising purposes.

23. Newsletters

23.1. With the following information we inform you about the contents of our newsletter as well as the registration, shipping and statistical evaluation procedures as well as your rights to object. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to its receipt and the procedures described.

23.2. Content of the newsletter: We only send newsletters, emails and other electronic notifications with promotional information (hereinafter “newsletter”) with the consent of the recipient or legal permission. If the contents are specifically described when registering for the newsletter, they are decisive for the user's consent. Our newsletters also contain information about our products, offers, promotions and our company.

23.3. Double opt-in and logging: Registration for our newsletter takes place using a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registering you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can log in with someone else's email address. Registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to provide evidence of the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the registration and confirmation times as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored by the shipping service provider are also logged.

23.4. Shipping service provider: The newsletter is sent by CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede, hereinafter referred to as “shipping service provider”. You can view the shipping service provider’s privacy policy here: cleverreach.com.

23.5. Furthermore, the shipping service provider can, according to its own information, use this data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assigning it to a user, to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimize the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes in order to determine which countries the recipients come from. However, the shipping service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them themselves or to pass them on to third parties.

23.6. Registration data: To register for the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your email address. Optionally, we ask you to provide a name so that you can be addressed personally in the newsletter.

23.7. Success measurement – The newsletters contain a so-called “web beacon”, i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the shipping service provider’s server when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information is initially collected, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval. This information is used to technically improve the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their access locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor that of the shipping service provider to monitor individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
