10) ONLINE MARKETING
10.1 DoubleClick by Google

This website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("DoubleClick").

DoubleClick uses cookies to display relevant ads to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent users from seeing the same ad multiple times. Google tracks which ads are displayed in which browser via a cookie ID and can prevent ads from being shown repeatedly. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

In addition, DoubleClick can track "conversions" using cookie IDs related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser’s website with the same browser and makes a purchase. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain personal information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google's server. We have no control over the extent and further use of the data collected by Google through this tool and therefore inform you according to our knowledge: Through the integration of DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have visited the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or logged in, it is possible that the provider obtains and stores your IP address.

If you do not want to participate in this tracking process, you can disable cookies for conversion tracking by adjusting your browser settings to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, but this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies. Alternatively, you can learn about setting cookies and make adjustments by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info.

We use Google AdWords to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google AdWords) on external websites. We can assess the success of individual advertising measures in relation to the campaign data. Our goal is to show you ads that are of interest to you, make our website more interesting for you, and achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad served by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer. These cookies generally expire after 30 days and do not serve for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not 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. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customers' websites. The information collected via the conversion cookie is used to generate 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 with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that would allow personal identification of users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block this use by disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie through your browser’s user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. We use Google AdWords based on our legitimate interest in targeted advertising according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies," text files that are stored on your computer and allow the analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including the anonymized IP address) is usually transferred to a server in the USA and stored there.
This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the "_anonymizeIp()" extension, which ensures the anonymization of the IP address by truncation and excludes direct personal identification. With this extension, your IP address is truncated by Google within the European Union member states or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. In such cases, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website usage and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings. However, we would like to inform you that in this case, you may not be able to use all the features of this website in their entirety.

This allows interaction data from various devices and sessions to be assigned to a single user. The user ID does not contain any personal data and does not transmit such data to Google.
The collection and storage of data via the user ID can be objected to at any time with future effect. To do so, you need to disable Google Analytics on all the systems you use, such as in a different browser or on your mobile device.
