10) ONLINE MARKETING
10.1 DoubleClick by Google

This website utilizes 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 ads relevant to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent users from seeing the same ads repeatedly. Through a cookie ID, Google identifies which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. Processing is based on our legitimate interest in optimally marketing our website according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Additionally, DoubleClick can capture conversions via cookie IDs that are related to ad requests. This occurs, for instance, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser's website using the same browser to make a purchase. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information.

Due to the marketing tools employed, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google's server. We have no control over the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and, to the best of our knowledge, inform you accordingly: By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible for the provider to obtain and store your IP address.

If you wish to opt out of 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. Please note that this setting will be deleted when you clear your cookies.

This website uses the online advertising program "Google AdWords" and, within Google AdWords, the conversion tracking feature of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). 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 determine the success of individual advertising measures in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. This allows us to display advertisements that are of interest to you, make our website more interesting for you, and achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on a Google AdWords advertisement. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used 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 that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customers' websites. The information obtained through the conversion cookie is used to create 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 personally identifies users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can block this usage by disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie in your internet browser settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. We use Google AdWords based on our legitimate interest in targeted advertising pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()", which ensures anonymization of the IP address by truncation and precludes direct personal association. Through this extension, your IP address is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. In such exceptional cases, this 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.

On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide us with further services related to website usage and internet usage.

This allows interaction data from different devices and sessions to be attributed to a single user. The user ID does not contain any personal data and does not transmit any such data to Google.

Data collection and storage via the user ID can be objected to at any time with effect for the future. To do this, you must disable Google Analytics on all systems you use, such as in another browser or on your mobile device.

You can disable it using a browser plugin from Google (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en). Alternatively to the browser plugin or within browsers on mobile devices, please click on the following link to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent the collection by Google Analytics within this website in the future (this opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain; if you delete your cookies in this browser, you must click this link again): Disable Google Analytics
