In addition, technical information is collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). The data is collected exclusively pseudonymously and is not linked to your other personal data, a direct personal reference is excluded. This data is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

- Google Ads Conversion-Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and within the scope of Google Ads the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use the offer of Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising media (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. In this way, we pursue the aim of displaying advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.
The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. 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 yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. This means that cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers see 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 with which users can be personally identified.
The use of Google Ads may also result in the transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

In order to address users whose data we have received in the context of business or business-like relationships in a more interest-oriented advertising manner, we use a customer matching function in the context of Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (primarily mail addresses and telephone numbers) electronically to Google. Google does not gain access to any clear data, but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables personalized advertising to be played via all Google services linked to the respective Google account.
The transmission of customer data to Google will only take place if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.

7) Web analytics services

Google Tag Manager
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), to analyze the use of websites.
Bei der Nutzung von Google Tag Manager werden standardmäßig sog. "Cookies" eingesetzt. Cookies sind Textdateien, die auf Ihrem Endgerät gespeichert werden und eine Analyse Ihrer Nutzung einer Website ermöglichen. Die durch Cookies erfassten Informationen über Ihre Nutzung der Website (einschließlich der von Ihrem Endgerät übermittelten, um die letzten Stellen gekürzten IP-Adresse, s. dazu unten) werden in der Regel an einen Server von Google übermittelt und dort gespeichert und verarbeitet. Hierbei kann es auch zu einer Übermittlung von Informationen an die Server des Unternehmens Google LLC mit Sitz in den USA und dort zu weiteren Verarbeitungen der Informationen kommen.
Bei der Nutzung von Google Tag Manager wird die von Ihrem Endgerät bei Ihrer Nutzung der Website übermittelte IP-Adresse standardmäßig und automatisch stets nur in anonymisierter Weise erhoben und verarbeitet, so dass eine direkte Personenbeziehbarkeit der erfassten Informationen ausgeschlossen ist. Diese automatische Anonymisierung erfolgt dadurch, dass die von Ihrem Endgerät übermittelte IP-Adresse von Google innerhalb von Mitgliedstaaten der Europäischen Union (EU) oder von anderen Vertragsstaaten des Abkommens über den Europäischen Wirtschaftsraum (EWR) um die letzten Stellen gekürzt wird.
In unserem Auftrag verwendet Google diese und andere Informationen, um Ihre Nutzung der Website auszuwerten, um Berichte (Reports) über Ihre Website-Aktivitäten bzw. Ihr Nutzungsverhalten zusammenzustellen und um weitere mit Ihrer Website-Nutzung und der Internetnutzung verbundene Dienstleistungen uns gegenüber zu erbringen. Dabei wird die im Rahmen von Google Tag Manager von Ihrem Endgerät übermittelte und gekürzte IP-Adresse nicht mit anderen Daten von Google zusammengeführt. Die im Rahmen der Nutzung von Google Tag Manager erfassten Daten werden für 2 Monate aufbewahrt und anschließend gelöscht.
Google Tag Manager ermöglicht über eine spezielle Funktion, die sog. „demografischen Merkmale“, darüber hinaus die Erstellung von Statistiken mit Aussagen über Alter, Geschlecht und Interessen von Website-Nutzern auf Basis einer Auswertung von interessenbezogener Werbung und unter Hinzuziehung von Drittanbieterinformationen. Dies macht die Bestimmung und Unterscheidung von Nutzerkreisen der Website zum Zwecke der zielgruppenoptimierten Ausrichtung von Marketingmaßnahmen möglich. Über die „demografischen Merkmale“ erfasste Daten können jedoch keiner bestimmten Person und somit auch nicht Ihnen persönlich zugeordnet werden. Diese über die Funktion „demografische Merkmale“ erfassten Daten werden für zwei Monate aufbewahrt und anschließend gelöscht.
Alle oben beschriebenen Verarbeitungen, insbesondere das Setzen von Google Tag Manager Cookies für die Speicherung und das Auslesen von Informationen auf dem von Ihnen für die Nutzung der Website verwendeten Endgerät, erfolgen nur dann, wenn Sie uns hierfür gemäß Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO Ihre ausdrückliche Einwilligung erteilt haben. Ohne Ihre Einwilligung unterbleibt der Einsatz von Google Tag Manager während Ihrer Nutzung der Website. Sie können Ihre einmal erteilte Einwilligung jederzeit mit Wirkung für die Zukunft widerrufen. Um Ihren Widerruf auszuüben, deaktivieren Sie diesen Dienst bitte über das auf der Website bereitgestellte „Cookie-Consent-Tool“.
Im Zusammenhang mit dieser Website wird als Erweiterung von Google Tag Manager auch die Funktion „UserIDs“ eingesetzt. Durch die Vergabe von individuellen UserIDs können wir geräteübergreifende Berichte (Reports) durch Google erstellen lassen (sog. „Cross Device Tracking“). Dies bedeutet, dass Ihr Nutzungsverhalten bei Erteilung Ihrer entsprechenden Einwilligung in den Einsatz von Google Tag Manager gemäß Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO auch geräteübergreifend analysiert werden kann, falls Sie durch Ihre Registrierung auf dieser Website ein persönliches Konto eingerichtet haben und mit Ihren diesbezüglichen Anmeldedaten in Ihrem persönlichen Konto auf verschiedenen Endgeräten angemeldet sind. Die auf diese Weise erfassten Daten zeigen unter anderem, auf welchem Endgerät Sie das erste Mal auf eine Anzeige geklickt haben und auf welchem Endgerät die diesbezügliche Conversion erfolgt ist.
Im Zusammenhang mit dieser Website wird als Erweiterung von Google Tag Manager auch der Dienst Google Signals eingesetzt. Mit Google Signals können wir geräteübergreifende Berichte (Reports) durch Google erstellen lassen (sog. „Cross Device Tracking“). Sofern Sie in Ihren Einstellungen in Ihrem Google-Konto die „personalisierten Anzeigen“ aktiviert und Ihre internetfähigen Endgeräte mit Ihrem Google-Konto verknüpft haben, kann Google das Nutzungsverhalten bei Erteilung Ihrer Einwilligung in den Einsatz von Google Tag Manager gemäß Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO geräteübergreifend analysieren und hierauf basierende Datenbankmodelle erstellen. Berücksichtigt werden dabei die Anmeldungen und Gerätetypen aller Website-Nutzer, die in einem Google-Konto angemeldet waren und eine Conversion ausgeführt haben. Die Daten zeigen unter anderem, auf welchem Endgerät Sie das erste Mal auf eine Anzeige geklickt haben und auf welchem Endgerät die diesbezügliche Conversion erfolgt ist. Wir erhalten hierbei keine personenbezogenen Daten von Google, sondern lediglich auf Basis von Google Signals erstellte Statistiken. Sie haben die Möglichkeit, die Funktion „personalisierte Anzeigen“ in den Einstellungen Ihres Google-Kontos zu deaktivieren und damit die geräteübergreifende Analyse im Zusammenhang mit Google Signals abzustellen. Folgen Sie hierzu den Hinweisen auf dieser Seite: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de
You can find more information about Google Signals at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de
Wir haben mit Google für unsere Nutzung von Google Tag Manager einen sog. Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag abgeschlossen, durch den Google dazu verpflichtet ist, die Daten unserer Website- Nutzer zu schützen und nicht an Dritte weiterzugeben.
To ensure compliance with the European level of data protection also in the event of any transfer of data from the EU or the EEA to the USA and possible further processing there, Google refers to the so-called standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which we have contractually agreed with Google.
Weitere rechtliche Hinweise zu Google Tag Manager, einschließlich einer Kopie der genannten Standardvertragsklauseln, finden Sie unter folgendem Link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de as well as https://business.safety.google/privacy/.

8) Page functionalities

8.1 Youtube video usage
This website uses the Youtube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider "Youtube", which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").
The extended data protection mode is used here, which, according to the provider, only triggers the storage of user information when the video(s) is/are played. If the playback of embedded Youtube videos is started, the provider "Youtube" uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. According to information from "Youtube", these are used, among other things, to collect video statistics, to improve user-friendliness and to prevent abusive behavior. If you are logged in to Google, your data is directly assigned to your account when you click on a video. If you do not want the assignment to your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. The use of YouTube may also result in the transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
Independently of a playback of the embedded videos, a connection to the Google network is established each time this website is called up, which may trigger further data processing operations without our influence.
All processing described above, in particular the reading of information on the end device used via the tracking pixel, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. Without this consent, Youtube videos will not be used during your visit to the site.
You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website via alternative options communicated to you on the website.
Further information on data protection at "Youtube" can be found in the Youtube terms of use at https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms and in Google's privacy policy at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

8.2 Vimeo video usage
Plugins of the video portal Vimeo of Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA are integrated on our website. When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Vimeo. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Vimeo directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Vimeo receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Vimeo account or are not currently logged in to Vimeo. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Vimeo server in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged in to Vimeo, Vimeo can directly assign your visit to our website to your Vimeo account. If you interact with the plugins (such as pressing the start button of a video), this information is also transmitted directly to a Vimeo server and stored there.
If you do not want Vimeo to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Vimeo account, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting our website.
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Vimeo, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found in Vimeo's privacy policy: https://vimeo.com/privacy
For videos from Vimeo that are embedded on our site, the tracking tool Google Analytics of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, is automatically integrated. This is Vimeo's own tracking, to which we have no access and which cannot be influenced by our site. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies" for tracking, which are text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
All processing described above, in particular the reading of information on the end device used via the tracking pixel, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO. Without this consent, Vimeo videos will not be used during your visit to the site.
You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website via alternative options communicated to you on the website.

8.4 - Google Web Fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google") for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google's servers. This may also result in the transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. In this way, Google obtains knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address. The processing of personal data in the course of establishing a connection with the provider of the fonts is only carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website. If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font will be used by your computer.

9) Tools and other

9.1 Cookie-Consent-Tool

This website uses a cookie consent tool to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "cookie consent tool" is displayed to users in the form of an interactive user interface when they access the page, on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking the appropriate box. By using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding consent by setting a check mark. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the respective user's end device if consent has been granted.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is not processed in this process.
Personal user data is generally not processed in this context. If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.
Further legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. As the responsible party, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.
You can find more information about the operator and the setting options of the cookie consent tool directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

9.2 - Google Maps
On our website, we use Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually display geographical information. By using this service, our location is shown to you and a possible approach is facilitated.
Already when calling up those sub-pages in which the map of Google Maps is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there, this may also result in a transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment with your profile at Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. The collection, storage and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO on the basis of Google's legitimate interest in the display of personalized advertising, market research and / or the design of Google websites to meet the needs. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by turning off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then not be used.
