3. usage-based online advertising

3.1 Playout of advertising

Various parties are involved in the delivery of online advertising. Overall, it is largely automated and based on the interaction of the various parties involved. The following parties are involved in the marketing of our online offers: a. Google AdWords Conversion (1) We use the offer of Google Adwords to draw attention to our attractive offers by means of advertising material (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. In this way, we pursue the interest of displaying advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.
(2) These advertising materials are delivered by Google via so-called “Ad Servers”. For this purpose, we use Ad Server Cookies, through which certain parameters can be measured to measure success, such as the display of the ads or clicks by users. If you reach our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords will store a cookie on your PC. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and 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 the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values.
(3) These cookies enable Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages on an Adwords client’s website and the cookie stored on their computer has not expired, Google and the client will be able to recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Adwords client is assigned a different cookie. As a result, cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of Adwords customers. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the advertising measures mentioned above. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. These evaluations enable us to identify which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material, in particular we cannot identify the users on the basis of this information.
(4) 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 state of knowledge: Through the integration of AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have called up 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, it is possible that the provider will find out your IP address and save it
(5) You can prevent participation in this tracking process in a number of ways:
a) by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly, in particular by suppressing third-party cookies so that you do not receive ads from third-party providers;
b) by disabling cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to refuse cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” domain (here), this setting being cleared when you clear your cookies;

b. Google Remarketing Besides Adwords Conversion we use the Google Remarketing application. This is a procedure with which we would like to address you again. This application allows you to see our advertisements after visiting our website during your further internet use. This is done by means of cookies stored in your browser, which are used by Google to record and evaluate your usage behaviour when visiting various websites. In this way Google can determine your previous visit to our website. A combination of the data collected in the course of remarketing with your personal data, which may be stored by Google, does not take place by Google according to its own statements. In particular, according to Google, pseudonymisation is used in remarketing.
c. Facebook Custom Audiences
(1) The website also uses the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” of Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”). This allows users of the website to be presented with interest-related advertisements (“Facebook Ads”) when visiting the social network Facebook or other websites that also use the procedure. In this way, we pursue the interest in displaying advertisements that are of interest to you in order to make our website more interesting for you.
(2) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Facebook server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of these tools and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you have called up the corresponding website of our Internet presence or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and save your IP address and other identifying features.
(3) The deactivation of the “Facebook Custom Audiences” function is possible for logged-in users here.
(4) The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO. Further information on data processing by Facebook can be found here.
