Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking
We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on our website and, within this framework, conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Google). When you click on an ad served by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and therefore do not serve 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 clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Thus, there is no possibility that cookies can be tracked across Ads customer websites. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie serves the purpose of creating conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that allows users to be personally identified. Your data may be transmitted to Google LLC's servers in the USA. For the USA, an adequacy decision of the EU Commission exists, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Google has certified itself under the TADPF and has thus committed to comply with European data protection principles. The use of cookies or comparable technologies is carried out with your consent on the basis of Section 25 (1) sentence 1 TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. The processing of your personal data is carried out with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

We use social network plug-ins on our website via the "2-click solution". This means that no connections are established to the social network servers and no data is transmitted without your express consent.
With standard plug-in integration, when you access pages on our website that contain such a plug-in, a connection is established between your computer and the servers of the social network providers, and the plug-in is displayed on the page by notification to your browser. In this process, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Transmission also occurs for users who are not registered or logged in. If you are also logged in to the social network Facebook, this information will be assigned to your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. by pressing the button), this information will also be assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. To ensure you retain control over your data, we have decided to initially deactivate the corresponding button. You can recognize this by the grayed-out button. Without your express consent - in the form of activating the button - no connection to the social network's server will be established and, consequently, no data will be transmitted.
Only when you activate the button will the button become active (highlighted in color) and a direct connection to the social network's servers will be established.
By activating it, you give your consent to the transmission of your data to the respective social network provider. This includes, among other things, the transmission of both your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles.
