We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by the provider through the use of the service.

Facebook pixels
We use the service on our website.
The service enables the provider to display our ads on Facebook, so-called “Facebook ads,” only to Facebook users who were visitors to our website, in particular those who have shown interest in our online offering or in specific topics or products.

Google Ads
We use the service on our website.
The service enables us to draw attention to our offers with the help of advertising material on external websites. This allows us to determine how successful individual advertising measures are. These advertising materials are delivered by the provider via so-called “ad servers”. For this purpose, we use so-called ad server cookies, which can be used to measure certain parameters to measure success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users. If you access our website via a corresponding ad, the service stores a cookie on your PC. They are not intended to identify you personally. The following information is usually stored as analysis values for this cookie: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed). These cookies enable the provider to recognize your web browser. If a user visits certain pages of the website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, the provider and the site operator can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each site operator is assigned a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be traced via the websites of other site operators. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the advertising measures mentioned above. We only receive statistical evaluations from the provider. Based on these evaluations, we can identify which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of advertising materials; in particular, we cannot identify users based on this information. As a result of the marketing tools used, your browser automatically creates a direct connection with the provider's server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by the provider through the use of the service. To the best of our knowledge, the provider receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you have a user account with the provider and are registered, the provider can assign the visit to your user account. Even if you are not registered with the provider or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out and store your IP address.

We use the service on our website.
After you visit our website, the service enables us to display our advertisements as you continue to use the Internet.

According to the provider, the data collected as part of remarketing will not be combined with your personal data, which may be stored by the provider.

We use the service on our website.
As a marketer, the service allows us to manage website tags via an interface. The tool that implements the tags is a cookie-free domain and does not collect any personal data itself. The service triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. The service does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, this will persist for all tracking tags that are implemented with the service.
