3. advertising

3.1 Measuring pixels

Measuring pixels are 1×1 pixel transparent images that are not visible. When a website with a measurement pixel is loaded, this transparent image is downloaded from the provider's server and registered there. In this way, the provider can measure when and how many browsers have downloaded this measurement pixel and visited a website. Further information such as browser information, operating system and screen resolution can also be recorded. This process is made possible with the help of JavaScript.

We use measurement pixels from the following providers:

3.2 Usage-based online advertising

We collect information about the activities of visitors to our website to place online advertising and advertisements outside our website and to analyze your behavior on our website (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). In this way, we want to increase the likelihood that interesting advertisements and ads will also be displayed to visitors outside our website based on their search behavior or usage behavior on our website. In this way, we would like to win you as a customer and promote the sale of our products (so-called legitimate interest). In addition, by evaluating this information, we can assess the relevance of the advertised content and optimize the display of online advertising and advertisements to potential interested parties (so-called legitimate interest).

The provision of data by you is neither legally nor contractually required, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract.

Cookies are typically used for this purpose, with which information is stored on your end device if you have not generally prevented this through technical settings. Typically, your IP address is only processed anonymously.

3.3 Google Remarketing

We use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"), which supports us as a processor.

Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to us as the website operator. If you are logged in with a Google account while visiting our website, the data will also be used to provide us as the website operator with further services associated with the use of the website and the Internet on other devices on which the same Google account is logged in.

For data collection processes that are not merged in your Google account (e.g. you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. By being able to evaluate the success of individual offers, we can, among other things, react to market behavior in a targeted manner and place our offers in the best possible way for interested users. Google also has a legitimate interest in the (personal) data collected in order to be able to market personalized advertising and improve its own services.

You can object to the use of your data for this purpose at any time. We will process the data until the end of the evaluation. The provision of the data by you is neither legally nor contractually required, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract.

The summary of the data collected in your Google account is based exclusively on your consent, which you give to Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and which you can revoke to Google.

Further information and the data protection provisions can be found in Google's privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.

You can permanently revoke your consent to cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google account; follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

3.4 Google Ads

We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on our website and in this context conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). When you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you have clicked on the ad and have been redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. It is therefore not possible for cookies to be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate technical settings in your browser software. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. You can also deactivate personalized advertising for you in the Google advertising settings. You can find instructions on how to do this at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de. You can also deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers by accessing the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1 and implementing the further opt-out information provided there.

Further information and Google's privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/ and https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

3.5 Google DoubleClick

This website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick uses cookies to display ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once. In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser's website with the same browser and makes a purchase there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: Through the integration of DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out your IP address and store it.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Article 6(1) sentence 1(f) GDPR. By being able to evaluate the success of individual offers we can, among other things, react to market behavior in a targeted manner and place our offers in the best possible way for interested users. In addition, Google has a legitimate interest in the collected (personal) data in order to improve its own services. Further information on DoubleClick by Google can be found at https://www.google.de/doubleclick, as well as on data protection at Google in general: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at http://www.networkadvertising.org.

You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways: a) by setting your browser software accordingly, in particular suppressing third-party cookies will prevent you from receiving ads from third-party providers; b) by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com", https://www.google.de/settings/ads, whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the "About Ads" self-regulation campaign via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; d) by permanently deactivating them in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

3.6 Meta Pixel

We use the visitor action pixel from Meta, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland to measure conversions.

When you visit our website, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Meta Platforms server via the tracking pixel (meta pixel). Among other things, Meta Platforms receives information from your browser that our website has been accessed from your device. If you are a Meta user, this allows Meta Platforms to associate your visit to our website with your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Meta Platforms. We can only select which segments of Meta users (such as age, interests) our advertising should be displayed to.

By calling up the pixel from your browser, Meta Platforms can also recognize whether a meta ad was successful, e.g. whether it led to an online purchase (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). This allows us to record the effectiveness of the meta ads for statistical and market research purposes (our legitimate interest).

We use the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" of Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland on our website. The purpose of this function is to target visitors to the website with interest-based advertising on Meta's social networks. When you visit Meta's social networks, you will then be shown personalized, interest-based Meta ads. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR for the legitimate interest in the above-mentioned purpose.

Please click here if you do not wish data to be collected via meta pixels: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads#_=_.

Alternatively, you can deactivate the meta pixel on the Digital Advertising Alliance website at the following link: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/

For more information on the collection and use of data by Meta Platforms, your rights in this regard and ways to protect your privacy, please refer to Meta Platforms' privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

We process the data until the end of the evaluation. The provision of the data by you is neither legally nor contractually required, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. Information on the collection and use of data by Meta Platforms, your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy can be found in Meta Platforms' privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

3.7 Microsoft Bing Ads

With Microsoft Bing Ads, we use the conversion tracking of Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA. Microsoft Bing Ads stores a cookie on your computer if you have reached our website via a Microsoft Bing ad. This enables Microsoft and us to recognize that a user has clicked on an ad, has been redirected to our website and has reached a previously determined target page (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). We only learn the total number of users who clicked on the Microsoft Bing ad and were then redirected to the conversion page. No information about the identity of the user is communicated. This allows us to measure the success of our ad placement and plan our marketing costs (our legitimate interest).

We process the data until the end of the evaluation. The provision of the data by you is neither legally nor contractually required, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You can prevent the processing by opting out using the following link: https://account.microsoft.com/privacy/ad-settings/signedout?ru=https:%2F%2Faccount.microsoft.com%2Fprivacy%2Fad-settings your objection.

Further information on data protection and the cookies used by Microsoft and Bing Ads can be found on the Microsoft website at https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement.

3.8 Outbrain

In some areas of our website, we use the technology of the provider Outbrain UK Ltd, Outbrain UK Limited, 5 New Bridge Street, London, EC4V 6JAUK. With the help of a so-called widget, users are referred to further content within our website and on third-party websites that may also be of interest to you. The content displayed in the Outbrain widget is automatically controlled and delivered by Outbrain in terms of content and technology.

The reading recommendations usually integrated below an article are determined on the basis of the content previously read by the user. Outbrain uses cookies, which are stored on the user's device or browser, to display this further interest-related content. Outbrain collects the source of the device, the browser type and the user's IP address, the last octet of which is deleted for anonymization purposes. Outbrain assigns a so-called Universally Unique Identifier (UUID), which can identify the user by device when they visit a website on which the Outbrain widget is implemented. Outbrain creates user profiles in which user interactions (e.g. page views and clicks) of a browser or end device are aggregated in order to derive the preferences of the UUID.

The legal basis for data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can prevent tracking to display interest-based recommendations by Outbrain at any time by clicking on the "Opt-Out" field in Outbrain's privacy policy, available at http://www.outbrain.com/de/legal/privacy. At https://www.outbrain.com/privacy/ you will also find further information on Outbrain UK Ltd's data protection. The opt-out only applies to the device you are using and also loses its validity if you delete your cookies.

3.9 Social media plugins

We use the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, Xing, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, Instagram. The social media plug-ins allow you to communicate with these networks and like or comment on content from our site. Social media plug-ins enable direct communication between your device and the servers of the social network providers. This allows them to communicate with you and collect information about your visit to our website. This processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. We use it to pursue our legitimate interest in enhancing your user experience and optimizing our services.

To prevent your visit to our pages from being comprehensively recorded and analyzed by providers of social media / social sharing functions, we use a script that replaces the usual share buttons. Only when you click on the button will your data be transmitted and provide the social networks with precise information about your surfing behavior (user tracking). We use either the 2-click solution or the "Shariff script" developed by Heise.de. You can find information about Shariff at: https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html

Please note that we have no influence on the scope of the personal data collected by the respective plug-in provider, nor do we know the purpose for which it is processed or how long it is stored.

Our website uses the "Share" button of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"). By clicking on the "Share" button, you can share content from our website with your friends on Facebook.

When you visit a website on our website that contains such a button, your browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the "Share" button is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated into the website by Facebook. We therefore have no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects with the button. According to Facebook, it collects information when you visit third-party websites that use Facebook services (such as the "Share" button). This includes information about the websites you visit and about your use of Facebook services on such websites. If you are logged in to Facebook when you visit our website, Facebook receives, among other things, your user ID, the website you visited, the date and time and other browser-related information.

For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, please refer to Facebook's information on social plug-ins: https://de-de.facebook.com/help/443483272359009/

3.10 Push notifications

You can register to receive push notifications. For this purpose, we use the "CleverPush" service, which is operated by CleverPush GmbH, Nagelsweg 22, 20097 Hamburg ("CleverPush").

You will receive regular information about topics and areas of interest covered on this website via our push notifications.

To register for the push messages, you must confirm the request from your browser or end device to receive the notifications. This process is documented and saved by CleverPush. The time of registration and a push token or device ID are stored for this purpose. This data is used on the one hand to send you the push notifications and on the other hand as proof of your registration. The legal basis for this processing is your consent and thus Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

CleverPush also evaluates our push notifications statistically. CleverPush can thus recognize whether and when our push notifications were displayed and clicked on. This enables us to determine which push notifications are of interest to recipients in order to tailor future messages to the presumed interests of all recipients and thus increase interest in our offer. In addition to the push token or device ID, we also store the thematic focus of the app on which the push notifications were activated (e.g. business, sport, etc.). We also use this information to send push notifications to the relevant subscribers that are in their presumed interests. The legal basis for processing in each case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. A push token or device ID is only assigned to a specific person if we are legally obliged to do so, to defend against claims against us, if this is necessary as evidence, and for the possible prosecution of violations of the law.

You can revoke your consent to the storage and use of your personal data to receive our push notifications at any time with effect for the future. You can also object to the use of personal data described above at any time on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f). Please withdraw your consent for this purpose. You can revoke your consent in the setting provided for receiving push notifications in the settings of your device or browser.

Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Your data will therefore be stored for as long as the subscription to our push notifications is active.

The application process is explained in detail at the following link: https://cleverpush.com/faq.

3.11 Userwerk

At the end of your order, we may show you separate information on offers and discounts for third-party services ("thank-you offers" or "special offers"), which you can order separately. We work together with userwerk GmbH, Ehinger Str. 19, 89077 Ulm ("userwerk") to provide these offers. The notices link to a separate page or a separate window with details of the thank-you offers and the associated order form.

If you wish to take advantage of one of the proposed special offers, place your order directly via userwerk. userwerk collects your order data and transmits it to the third party whose services you wish to use in order to execute your order. In order to make the ordering process easier for you, the personal contact details you entered when purchasing in our store system are automatically entered into the order form (e.g. name, address, e-mail address). However, this data is only forwarded to userwerk when you submit the order form. If you decide otherwise during the order process and cancel the order process (e.g. by closing the browser window), no data will be transmitted to userwerk. Otherwise, we are not involved in the collection and processing of your data in connection with the thank-you offers. A contract in this respect is then only concluded with userwerk or the third party whose services you wish to use. We are expressly not involved in this contractual relationship.

If you wish to order a thank-you offer and send the order, your personal data required for this will be transmitted to userwerk for the implementation of pre-contractual measures based on your request for a thank-you offer and for the fulfillment of the contract subsequently concluded with the third party whose services you wish to use. The storage of information on your end device or access to information that is already stored on your end device and the subsequent data processing are therefore based on Section 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG and Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR. Details on the subsequent data processing by userwerk can be found in their privacy policy at https://www.userwerk.com/de/datenschutzerklaerung/.

The purpose of collecting the data is to create analyses, e.g. in the form of statistics, diagrams and graphics. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The additional personal data provided will be processed in order to contact you with regard to the topic of the survey, e.g. to invite you to further activities for the topic.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.

We use the "Zoom" tool to conduct telephone conferences, online meetings, video conferences and/or webinars (hereinafter: "online meetings"). "Zoom" is a service provided by Zoom Video Communications, Inc. based in the USA.

Various types of data are processed when using "Zoom". The scope of the data also depends on what data users provide before or when participating in an "online meeting":

• User details: First name, last name, telephone (optional), e-mail address, password (if "single sign-on" is not used), profile picture (optional), department (optional)
• Meeting metadata: Topic, description (optional), participant IP addresses, device/hardware information

• Text, audio and video data: Participants may have the opportunity to use the chat, question or survey functions in an "online meeting". In this respect, the text entries made there are processed in order to display them in the "online meeting" and, if necessary, to log them. In order to enable the display of video and the playback of audio, the data from the microphone of the end device and from any video camera of the end device are processed accordingly for the duration of the meeting. Users can switch off or mute the camera or microphone themselves at any time via the "Zoom" applications.

If we want to record "online meetings", we will inform you transparently in advance and - if necessary - ask for your consent. If a recording is made, this will also be shown in the "Zoom" app.

If it is necessary for the purposes of logging the results of an online meeting, we will log the chat content. However, this will not usually be the case.

In the case of webinars, we may also process the questions asked by webinar participants for the purposes of recording and following up webinars.

If you are registered with "Zoom" as a user, reports on "online meetings" (meeting metadata, telephone dial-in data, questions and answers in webinars, survey function in webinars) can be stored for up to one month at "Zoom".

Personal data that is processed in connection with participation in "online meetings" is generally not passed on to third parties unless it is intended to be passed on. It should be noted that content from "online meetings" as well as personal meetings is often used to communicate information with customers, interested parties or third parties and is therefore intended to be passed on. The provider of "Zoom" necessarily receives knowledge of the above-mentioned data insofar as this is provided for in our order processing contract with "Zoom".

Friendly Captcha is an innovative, data protection-friendly protection solution to make it more difficult for automated programs and scripts (so-called "bots") to use our website.

For this purpose, we have integrated a program code from Friendly Captcha into our website (e.g. for contact forms) so that the visitor's end device can establish a connection to the Friendly Captcha servers in order to receive a calculation task from Friendly Captcha. The visitor's end device solves the calculation task, which requires certain system resources, and sends the calculation result to our web server. This contacts the Friendly Captcha server via an interface and receives a response as to whether the puzzle has been solved correctly by the end device. Depending on the result, we can add security rules to requests via our website and, for example, process or reject them.

The data is used exclusively for the protection against spam and bots described above. Friendly Captcha does not set or read any cookies on the visitor's end device. IP addresses are only stored in hashed (one-way encrypted) form and do not allow us or Friendly Captcha to draw any conclusions about an individual person.
