2.2 Personalized Newsletter

Purpose: If you subscribe, we only process your data in order to send you our newsletter and to statistically analyze the reach of our newsletters (if and when they were opened) and the interaction of users with them (which links were clicked).

We use the double opt-in process for subscribing to our newsletter. This means that after the initial registration we send a confirmation e-mail to the registered e-mail address asking you to confirm your subscription to our newsletter. Only then will we add you to our mailing list and send you our newsletter in the future.

The newsletter contains so-called tracking pixels. This allows a statistical analysis of the success of our online marketing campaigns. This analysis enables us to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to your interests.

Categories of data: Contact details (name, e-mail address), Technical data (IP address, time and date of registration, UTM Links)

Legal basis: We will send you our newsletter only if you have provided us with your consent.

For this purpose, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter.

We use cookies on our website. This enables us to ensure the functionality of our website and to create analyses about the use of our website.

For the setting of analysing cookies, or the use of plug-ins or tools, we always ask for your consent first. By not providing your consent, the analysing operations will not be carried out. Your given consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. In addition, you can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies.

3.2 Meta Pixel

This website uses Meta Pixel, a service provided by Meta Platforms Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA, USA or for users within the EU Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta").

For example, by setting a cookie, we can track how many users have clicked on a Facebook ad to reach our site and subsequently placed an order. In addition, we can provide users of our website with interest-based advertisements ("Facebook Ads") when they visit the Facebook platform. Through Meta Pixel, your browser establishes a direct connection with Meta's server and transmits the information that you have clicked on one of our ads and visited our website. The data collected by this service is only made available to us in anonymous form and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the identity of individual users. However, Meta links the collected data with the data of your user account. If you do not have a user account, Meta may still collect and store data about your user behaviour.

Data processing by Meta is carried out in accordance with Facebook's data policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy. Further information on terms of use, cookies and data protection can also be found at https://www.facebook.com/help/ and at https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/.

This website uses Google AdSense, a service which allows the integration of advertisements on our website. Google AdSense allows an interest-based targeting of the Internet user, which is implemented by means of generating individual user profiles. Google Ads uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of the website. Google Ads creates so-called "conversion statistics". These include, for example, the number of users who have clicked on an ad. In addition, it is counted how many users have reached a target page that has been provided with a "conversion tag". Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels to determine if and when a website was opened, and which links were clicked on. The information collected by Google Ads / AdSense about your use of this website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google Remarketing allows an enterprise to display advertising to Internet users who have previously resided on the enterprise's Internet site. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows an enterprise to create user-based advertising and thus shows relevant advertisements to interested Internet users. Google Remarketing allows us to display ads on the Google network or on other websites, which are based on individual needs and matched to the interests of Internet users.

Google Tag Manager assists us in efficiently managing various tags and tracking codes that help us understand user interactions on the website. It enables the implementation of tags without direct code changes.
