We use the remarketing function within the Google Ads service. With the remarketing function, we can present users of our website with advertisements based on their interests on websites within the Google advertising network (in Google Search or on YouTube, so-called "Google Ads" or on other websites). For this purpose, the interaction of users on our website is analyzed, e.g. which offers a user was interested in, in order to be able to show users targeted advertising on other sites even after they have visited our website. For this purpose, Google stores cookies on the end devices of users who visit certain Google services or websites in the Google Display Network.

12.3 Google Ads Conversion

 

We use the Google Ads Conversion service to draw attention to our attractive offers using advertising materials (so-called Google Ads) on external websites. We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data from the advertising campaigns. In doing so, we are pursuing the interest of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

 

These advertising materials are delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers". For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, which can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will save a cookie on your device. 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 contacted) are usually saved as analysis values ​​for this cookie.

 

These cookies enable Google to recognize your Internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of the Ads customer's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customers can recognize that a user has clicked on the ad and been redirected to this page. Each Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across Ads customers' websites. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the advertising measures mentioned. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can recognize 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 based on this information.

 

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected through the use of this tool by Google and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: By integrating Ads Conversion, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on one of our advertisements.

Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that Google will find out and save your IP address.

 

12.4 Google Maps

 

This website uses Google Maps to display interactive maps and to create driving directions. By using Google Maps, information about the use of this website, including your IP address and the (start) address entered as part of the route planner function, can be transmitted to Google in the USA. When you access a web page on our website that contains Google Maps, your browser establishes a direct connection to Google's servers. The map content is transmitted by Google directly to your browser, which integrates it into the website. We therefore have no influence on the extent of the data collected by Google in this way. According to our knowledge, this is at least the following data:

 

  • Date and time of the visit to the relevant website,
  • Internet address or URL of the accessed Website,
  • IP address, (starting) address entered during route planning.

 

We have no influence on the further processing and use of the data by Google and therefore cannot accept any responsibility for this.

The marketing tool is a targeting option that uses the Facebook pixel to match visitors to our website with people on Facebook. We can target visitor groups with Facebook ads.

 

According to Facebook, the pixel displays browser information, websites visited and the hashed Facebook ID of the website user.

 

It cannot be ruled out that Facebook also transmits the information to a server in a third country.

For the USA, there is an adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR) of the EU Commission - the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Meta Platforms Inc. has been certified according to the TADPF and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection principles.
