Cookie Name Google Analytics
Provided you have consented, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Ltd. (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) and Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) (“Google”) for the purpose of analysing the use of this website.
For this purpose, a cookie is installed on your device. This cookie will collect data such as browser and device information, your IP address, visited websites, and date and time of server request for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website provider. The cookie also collects information about the interactions that users had with ads (clicking a text ad or viewing a video ad).
We will use the data collected to optimize this website and campaigns, retarget and personalize ads. For this purpose, the cookies stored on your device by Google allow you to be retargeted on the one hand on Google’s websites and on the other hand on our websites and – depending on your interests – when you visit websites of other partners. For this purpose, your browser is identified during advertising delivery and assigned to a target group. This information is used to display relevant and interesting ads to you.
We have implemented Google Analytics in a manner so that the last octet (the last portion) of your IP address is immediately obfuscated when the IP address is collected within the EU or EEA. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to and shortened by Google servers in the US.
You find more information about privacy in Google services here: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

See section 1 a. of the Facebook Business Tools Terms (https://www.facebook.com/legal/technology_terms), for further information about the data you share with us via Facebook/Meta Business Tools such as the Pixel.
The data collected is used to optimize campaigns and create custom audiences, which are groups of Facebook and Instagram users based on that data collected, to target ad campaigns on Facebook and Instagram (Facebook and Instagram Ads). For this purpose, it can also be determined whether different end devices belong to you or your household.
Insofar as data on your usage of our website is collected, personalized ad campaigns are optimized and custom audiences are created, we act as joint controller in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR together with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

The required information as per Art. 13 para. 1 lit. a, b GDPR with regard to data processing as joint controllers can be found in Meta’s privacy policy here: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy.
We have agreed with Meta that Meta is the contact point for the exercise of data subject rights pursuant to Articles 15-20 of the GDPR with regard to the processing activities in joint controllership.
Further information on how Meta processes personal data, including its legal basis and further information on the rights of data subjects can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.
