Pardot Pixel
If you have given your consent, we use so-called "Pardot Pixel" of the provider Salesforce.com Germany GmbH, Erika-Mann-Str. 31, 80636 Munich ("Salesforce"). Pardot pixels enable us to collect information about the activities of users of our website. The data collection is pseudonymised, unless you provide further personal data such as your name when using the website. In this case, an allocation can take place.
You can deactivate the data processing within the scope of Pardot Pixels at any time in our Cookie Board. Alternatively, you can disable Pardot Pixel for the browser you are currently using by deactivating the storage of cookies in the settings of your browser.

  • The purpose of Pardot Pixels is to enable us to analyse user data on our website.

Google Ads (Conversion)
If you have given your consent, we will use Google Ads (Conversion) Tracking on our website. Google Ads (Conversion) enables us to monitor the success of ads placed via Google.
You can deactivate data processing by Google Ads (Conversion) at any time in our "Cookie Banner". Alternatively, you can install a browser plug-in from Google that prevents data collection by Google Ads (Conversion): http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
The purpose of data processing by Google Ads (Conversion) is to track the reach of ads placed via Google. When you click on our ad placed via Google, Google stores a cookie for conversion tracking on your terminal device. If you then visit our website linked in the ad and the cookie has not yet expired, we can recognise that you have clicked on the ad and have been redirected to our website. We can only recognise clicks on our own ads, not any clicks on ads of other Google customers. Google uses the cookies, among other things, to bill us for the costs of the ads. In doing so, we only receive the evaluations and other information in aggregated anonymised form and cannot assign the information to any natural person. 
The data processed are:
- Google Ads log data 
This is data that is technically generated when using the Google Ads tool used on the website via the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (Secure) (HTTP(S)): This includes IP address, type and version of your internet browser, operating system used, the page accessed, the page previously visited (referrer URL), date and time of access.
- Usage data 
Usage data includes clicks on ads, time spent on the website and information about websites visited.
- Conversion event
The conversion event summarises the results of the conversion.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data via our website by Google Ads (conversion) is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). 
The recipient of the data is Google Ireland Limited (Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland) within the scope of order processing. Google Ireland Limited uses Google LLC in the USA (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) as a service provider. In the USA, there is no level of data protection comparable to the requirements of the GDPR. It is possible that government agencies access personal data without us or you knowing about it.

The cookies lose their validity after 30 days, do not contain any personal data apart from the cookie ID and do not serve to identify you personally. 
The provision of the data is not required by law or contract or necessary for the conclusion of a contract. There is no obligation for you to provide the data. In the event that you do not provide the data, we will not be able to perform Google Ads tracking.

Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel)


This website uses the Facebook/Meta visitor action pixel to measure conversions. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.
This allows the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized.
The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy (https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This allows Facebook to place advertisements on Facebook pages and outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as the site operator.
The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. 

We use the advanced matching function within the meta pixel.
Enhanced matching enables us to transmit various types of data (e.g. place of residence, state, zip code, hashed email addresses, name, gender, date of birth or telephone number) of our customers and prospects that we collect via our website to Meta (Facebook). This activation allows us to tailor our advertising campaigns on Facebook even more precisely to people who are interested in our offers. In addition, the extended comparison improves the allocation of website conversions and expands Custom Audiences.
Insofar as personal data is collected on our website with the help of the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its forwarding to Facebook. The processing carried out by Facebook after forwarding is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us jointly have been set out in an agreement on joint processing. The text of the agreement can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the data protection information when using the Facebook tool and for the secure implementation of the tool on our website in accordance with data protection law. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products. You can assert data subject rights (e.g. requests for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook directly with Facebook. 
Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum and https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.
You can find further information on protecting your privacy in Facebook's data protection information: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
You can also deactivate the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” in the settings for advertisements at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_scr…. To do this, you must be logged in to Facebook.
If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.
