You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but you have to contact the responsible plugin provider to exercise this right. The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in. If you are logged in with the plugin provider website, the data collected by us is directly associated with your account on this website. If you activate the selected button and e.g. link the website, the plug-in provider also saves this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend routinely logging out after using a social network, especially before activating a plugin button, as this allows you to avoid associating your data with your plugin provider profile.
(3) The information collected is stored on servers of the providers, in the case of international providers also outside Europe. For these cases, the providers have, according to their own information, imposed a standard on themselves that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and have promised to comply with applicable data protection laws in the international transfer of data. We have also agreed on standard data protection clauses with the providers to ensure compliance with an appropriate level of data protection in the third country.
(4) You can withdraw your consent at any time, but this does not affect the permissibility of the processing before the withdrawal. The easiest way to withdraw your consent is to use our consent manager, but you can also use the functions of the social media providers.

§ 11 Online Advertising
1. Use of Google Ads
(1) We use the Google Ads service to draw attention to our offers with the help of advertisements. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your end device. The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 par. 1 s. 1 (a) GDPR, i.e. the integration only takes place with your consent.
(2) The advertising is delivered by Google via "ad servers". For this purpose, we and other websites use ad server cookies to measure certain parameters for success, such as display of the ads or clicks of users. The Google Ads cookies stored on our website allow us to obtain information about the success of our advertising campaigns. These cookies are not intended to identify you personally. For this cookie, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that a user no longer wishes to be addressed) are typically stored as analysis data.
(3) The cookies set by Google enable Google to recognize your Internet browser. When a user visits certain pages of the website of an Ads customer and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each Ads customer, so that the cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of other Ads customers. The integration of Google Ads provides Google the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you have a registered account with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or not logged in, the provider may identify and store your IP address.
(4) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google servers. We ourselves do not independently collect personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures, but only provide Google with the opportunity to collect the data. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google that provide information about which ads were clicked on how often and at what prices. We do not receive any additional data from the use of these advertising measures and we cannot identify users based on this information.
(5) You can withdraw your consent at any time, but this does not affect the permissibility of the processing before the withdrawal. The easiest way to withdraw your consent is to use our consent manager, but you can also use the following functions:
a) By setting your browser software accordingly. In particular, suppressing third-party cookies will prevent third-party ads.
b) By setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com via www.google.de/settings/ads. Please note that this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies.
c) By disabling the interest-based ads from the providers that are part of the self-regulatory campaign "About Ads" using the link www.aboutads.info/choices. Please note that this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies.
d) By permanently disabling it in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers using the link www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this offer.

2. Google Conversion Tracking
(1) We use Google Ads with the additional application "Google Conversion Tracking". This is a procedure to check the success of our advertising campaigns.

You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but you have to contact the responsible plugin provider to exercise this right. The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in.

If you activate the selected button and e.g. link the website, the plug-in provider also saves this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts.

For these cases, the providers have, according to their own information, imposed a standard on themselves that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and have promised to comply with applicable data protection laws in the international transfer of data.

When a user visits certain pages of the website of an Ads customer and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each Ads customer, so that the cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of other Ads customers. The integration of Google Ads provides Google the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you have a registered account with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or not logged in, the provider may identify and store your IP address.
(4) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google servers. We ourselves do not independently collect personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures, but only provide Google with the opportunity to collect the data. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google that provide information about which ads were clicked on how often and at what prices. We do not receive any additional data from the use of these advertising measures and we cannot identify users based on this information.
(5) You can withdraw your consent at any time, but this does not affect the permissibility of the processing before the withdrawal. The easiest way to withdraw your consent is to use our consent manager, but you can also use the following functions:
a) By setting your browser software accordingly. In particular, suppressing third-party cookies will prevent third-party ads.
b) By setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com via www.google.de/settings/ads. Please note that this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies.
c) By disabling the interest-based ads from the providers that are part of the self-regulatory campaign "About Ads" using the link www.aboutads.info/choices. Please note that this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies.
d) By permanently disabling it in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers using the link www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this offer.

2. Google Conversion Tracking
(1) We use Google Ads with the additional application "Google Conversion Tracking". This is a procedure to check the success of our advertising campaigns. For this purpose, the advertisements are provided with a technical device, e.g. an ID, with which we can determine how a user interacts after clicking on the advertisements and whether one of our services is actually used. This provides us with statistical information about the total number of readers of our ads, which ads are particularly popular and possibly further information about the results of the ad.
(2) The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 par. 1 s. 1 (a) GDPR, i.e. the integration only takes place with your consent. You can prevent or no longer use the Conversion Tracking function in the same way as described above for Google Ads.
§ 12 Data Security
All information that you transmit to us is stored on servers within the European Union. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure, so we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to our website via the Internet. However, we secure our website and other systems with technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorized persons. In particular, we transmit your personal data in encrypted form. We use the encryption system SSL (Secure Socket Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security) to prevent access by unauthorized third parties. You can recognize this in your browser by the lock symbol and the additional "s" in "https", i.e. when the Internet address is preceded by "https".
§ 13 Involvement of Service Providers, Transfer of Personal Data to Third Parties and Recipients
In order to provide this website and for the aforementioned purposes, your data may be passed on to technical service providers who support us (specifically IONOS SE for website hosting and support), which we have carefully selected and commissioned as part of processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. These service providers are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored by us.
We do not transfer your personal data to third parties beyond this unless you have consented to the transfer of data or we are entitled or obliged to transfer data on the basis of statutory provisions and/or official or court orders. In particular, this may involve the disclosure of information for the purposes of criminal prosecution, averting danger or enforcement of intellectual property rights.
Internally, only our marketing and IT departments have access to the data.
