Google Analytics
Facebook Pixel
Social Media Plugins

1. Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information collected by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

At our request, Google will only record your IP address in abbreviated form, which ensures anonymity and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity. If IP-anonymization is activated on our websites, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our websites, to compile reports on website activity for us and to provide us with other services relating to the use of websites and the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. A transfer of this data by Google to third parties only takes place due to legal regulations or in the context of order processing. Under no circumstances will Google combine your data with other data collected by Google.

By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google and the manner of data processing and purpose described above. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent.For more information about Google Analytics and privacy, please visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

2. Facebook Pixel

Within our online offer, so-called “Facebook pixels” of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”), are used. With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able to determine the visitors of our offer as a target group for the presentation of ads, so-called “Facebook ads”. Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads we have placed only to those Facebook users who have shown interest in our website. This means that with the help of the Facebook pixel we want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users. The Facebook pixel also enables us to track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were directed to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad.

The Facebook pixel is integrated directly by Facebook when our web pages are accessed and can store a so-called cookie, i.e. a small file, on your device. If you then log in to Facebook or visit Facebook when logged in, the visit to our offer is noted in your profile. The data collected about you is anonymous to us and does not give us any information about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible. Facebook processes the data in accordance with Facebook’s data usage guidelines. Accordingly, you will receive further information on how the remarketing pixel works and on the presentation of Facebook ads in general in Facebook’s data usage policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.phpYou may opt out of Facebook pixel collection and use of your information to display Facebook ads. To do this, you can go to the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions on the settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads=ads or explain the objection about the US page http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU page http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are adopted for all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

3. Social media plugins

Our website uses social media plugins (“plugins”) from various social networks. With the help of these plugins you can, for example, share content or recommend products. The plugins are deactivated by default on our websites and therefore do not send any data. You can activate the plugins by clicking on the “Activate Social Media” button. The plugins can of course be deactivated with one click.

If these plugins are activated, your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of the respective social network as soon as they call up a website of our Internet presence. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from the social network to your browser, which then integrates it into the website.

By integrating the plugins, the social network receives the information that you have called up the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to the social network, it can assign the visit to your account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking on the Facebook “Like” button or by commenting on them, your browser sends the corresponding information directly to the social network and stores it there.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by social networks as well as your related rights and setting options for the protection of your privacy, please refer to the data protection information of the respective networks or websites. You will find the links below.

Even if you are not signed in to social networks, websites with active social plug-ins can send data to the networks. An active plugin sets a cookie with an identifier each time the website is called. Since your browser sends this cookie each time you connect to a network server without being asked, the network could in principle use it to create a profile of which web pages the user belonging to the identifier has visited. And it would then also be quite possible to assign this identifier to a person again later – for example when registering later with the social network.

On our websites we use the following plugins:
Facebook, Instagram, Vimeo.

If you don’t want social networks to collect information about you through active plug-ins, you can either disable the social plug-ins simply by clicking on them on our websites or select the “Block third-party cookies” feature in your browser settings. Then the browser does not send cookies to the server for embedded contents of other providers. With this setting, however, other functions than the plugins may no longer work under certain circumstances.

Facebook

We use plugins from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd.4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The link to Facebook’s privacy policy can be found here: Privacy policy of Facebook.

Instagram

On our pages functions of the service Instagram are embedded. These functions are offered by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA. If you are logged into your Instagram account, you can link the contents of our pages to your Instagram profile by clicking the Instagram button. This allows Instagram to associate visiting our pages with your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we do not have any knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Instagram.For more information, please refer to Instagram’s privacy policy: http://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/

Vimeo

For the embedding of videos, we use the provider Vimeo. Vimeo is operated by Vimeo, LLC with headquarters at 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011.

On some of our websites we use plugins from Vimeo. If you call the Internet pages of our Internet presence provided with such a plugin, a connection to the Vimeo servers will be established and the plugin will be displayed. This will transmit to the Vimeo server which of our Internet pages you have visited. If you are logged into Vimeo as a member, Vimeo will assign this information to your personal user account. This information is also assigned to your user account when using the plugin, e.g. clicking the start button of a video. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your Vimeo user account before using our website and deleting the corresponding cookies from Vimeo.For more information about Vimeo’s data processing and privacy practices, please visit https://vimeo.com/privacy
