Google Analytics Remarketing
Our websites use the features of Google
Analytics Remarketing combined with the
cross-device capabilities of Google
AdWords and DoubleClick. This service is
provided by Google Inc., 1600
Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA
94043, USA.
This feature makes it possible to link
target audiences for promotional
marketing created with Google Analytics
Remarketing to the cross-device
capabilities of Google AdWords and
Google DoubleClick. This allows
advertising to be displayed based on
your personal interests, identified
based on your previous usage and surfing
behavior on one device (e.g. your mobile
phone), on other devices (such as a
tablet or computer).
Once you have given your consent, Google
will associate your web and app browsing
history with your Google Account for
this purpose. That way, any device that
signs in to your Google Account can use
the same personalized promotional
messaging.
To support this feature, Google
Analytics collects Google-authenticated
IDs of users that are temporarily linked
to our Google Analytics data to define
and create audiences for cross-device ad
promotion.
You can permanently opt out of
cross-device remarketing/targeting by
turning off personalized advertising in
your Google Account; follow this link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The aggregation of the data collected in
your Google Account data is based solely
on your consent, which you may give or
withdraw from Google per Art. 6 (1) (a)
DSGVO. For data collection operations
not merged into your Google Account (for
example, because you do not have a
Google Account or have objected to the
merge), the collection of data is based
on Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.
The website operator has a legitimate
interest in analyzing anonymous user
behavior for promotional purposes.For
more information and the Google Privacy
Policy, go to:
https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.
Google AdWords and Google Conversion
Tracking
This website uses Google AdWords.
AdWords is an online advertising program
from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater
Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United
States („Google“).
As part of Google AdWords, we use
so-called conversion tracking. When you
click on an ad served by Google, a
conversion tracking cookie is set.
Cookies are small text files that your
internet browser stores on your
computer.
These cookies expire after 30 days and
are not used for personal identification
of the user. Should the user visit
certain pages of the website and the
cookie has not yet expired, Google and
the website can tell that the user
clicked on the ad and proceeded to that
page.
Each Google AdWords advertiser has a
different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot
be tracked using the website of an
AdWords advertiser. The information
obtained using the conversion cookie is
used to create conversion statistics for
the AdWords advertisers who have opted
for conversion tracking. Customers are
told the total number of users who
clicked on their ad and were redirected
to a conversion tracking tag page.
However, advertisers do not obtain any
information that can be used to
personally identify users. If you do not
want to participate in tracking, you can
opt-out of this by easily disabling the
Google Conversion Tracking cookie by
changing your browser settings. In doing
so, you will not be included in the
conversion tracking statistics.
Conversion cookies are stored based on
Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website
operator has a legitimate interest in
analyzing user behavior to optimize both
its website and its advertising.
For more information about Google
AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking,
see the Google Privacy Policy:
https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
You can configure your browser to inform
you about the use of cookies so that you
can decide on a case-by-case basis
whether to accept or reject a cookie.
Alternatively, your browser can be
configured to automatically accept
cookies under certain conditions or to
always reject them, or to automatically
delete cookies when closing your
browser. Disabling cookies may limit the
functionality of this website.
