Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer and to provide us with other services related to the use of this online offer and the internet. Pseudonymous user profiles of users can be created from the processed data.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"), based on our legitimate interests (ie interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR) .
We use Google Analytics to only display the advertisements placed within advertising services by Google and its partners to those users who have shown an interest in our online offer or the specific characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products based on the visited Websites determined) that we transmit to Google (so-called "remarketing" or "Google Analytics audiences").

We use the marketing and remarketing services ("Google Marketing Services" for short) from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, ("Google"). Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law. The Google Marketing Services allow us to display advertisements for and on our website in a more targeted manner in order to only present users with ads that potentially correspond to their interests. If a user e.g. Displaying advertisements for products that he was interested in on other websites is known 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 called "web Beacons ”) in the website. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file is saved (comparable technologies can be used instead of cookies). Cookies can be set by various domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. This file notes which websites the user visits, what content he is interested in and which offers he has clicked on, as well as technical information on the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information on the use of the online offer. The IP address of the user is also recorded, whereby we inform Google Analytics that the IP address is shortened within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases entirely to one Google servers in the USA and shortened there. The IP address is not merged with user data within other Google offers. Google may also combine the above information with such information from other sources. If the user then visits other websites, the ads tailored to his interests can be displayed. The data of the users are processed pseudonymously as part of the Google marketing services. I.e. Google stores and processes e.g. not the name or email address of the user, but processes the relevant data cookie-related within pseudonymous user profiles. I.e. From Google's point of view, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie holder, regardless of who this 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 United States. 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 obtained using the cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords 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, you will not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. We can integrate third-party advertisements based on the Google marketing service “DoubleClick”. DoubleClick uses cookies that enable Google and its partner websites to place ads based on users' visits to this website or other websites on the Internet. We can integrate third-party advertisements based on the Google marketing service "AdSense". AdSense uses cookies that enable Google and its partner websites to place ads based on users' visits to this website or other websites on the Internet. We can also use the "Google Optimizer" service. Google Optimizer allows us to understand how various changes to a website affect (e.g. changes to the input fields, design, etc.) as part of so-called "A / B testing". Cookies are placed on users' devices for these test purposes. Only pseudonymous user data is processed. We can also use the "Google Tag Manager" to integrate and manage the Google analysis and marketing services in our website. You can find more information on the use of data by Google for marketing purposes on the overview page, Google's privacy policy can be found here.
We use these services on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.
The Google Marketing Services give us the opportunity to display advertisements for us and on our website in a more targeted manner in order to only present users with ads that potentially correspond to their interests.
According to their own information, the log data collected by Google is anonymized by deleting part of the IP address and the cookie information after 9 or 18 months. More information can be found here.
If you would like to object to interest-based advertising through Google marketing services, you can use the setting and opt-out options provided by Google.

The plugins can represent interaction elements or content (eg videos, graphics or text contributions) and can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white "f" on blue tile, the terms "Like", "Like" or a "thumbs up" sign ) or are marked with the addition "Facebook Social Plugin". The list and the appearance of the Facebook social plugins can be viewed here. The plugins are only activated when you click the corresponding button. If these are greyed out, the plugins are inactive. You have the option to activate the plugins once or permanently. Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law. When a user calls up a function of this online offer that contains such a plugin, his device establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers on. The content of the plug-in is transmitted from Facebook directly to the user's device, which integrates it into the online offer. User profiles of the users can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no influence on the scope of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore informs the users according to our level of knowledge. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has called up the corresponding page of the online offer. If the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to their Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example by pressing 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 save his IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is saved in Germany. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as the related rights and setting options for protecting the privacy of users can be found in Facebook's data protection information.
Data processing is based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. GDPR)
The Facebook Social Plugins show us the interests of the visitors in order to display them more specifically on our website, in order to only present users with posts that potentially correspond to their interests.
According to its own information, Facebook stores the date and time of your visit for 90 days, the specific Internet address on which the social plug-in is located, and other technical data such as the IP address, browser type, operating system, and the services of Facebook further optimize. After the 90 days have passed, the data will be anonymized so that it can no longer be linked to you.
If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about him via this online offer and link it to his member data stored on Facebook, he must log out of Facebook before using our online offer and delete his cookies. Further settings and contradictions regarding the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings or via the US page or the EU page. The settings are platform independent, i.e. they are adopted for all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
