Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking
We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on our website and in this context conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google").

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 way that cookies can be tracked across Ads customers' websites.
The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used for the purpose of creating conversion statistics. Here, we learn 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 with which users can be personally identified.

Plug-ins

Use of social plug-ins via the "2 Click Solution"
We use plug-ins of social networks on our website via the "2 Click Solution". No connections are made to the social network servers without your express consent and consequently no data is transmitted.
In the case of the standard integration of plug-ins, when you access the pages of our website that contain such a plug-in, a link is established between your computer and the servers of the social network providers and the plug-in is displayed on the page by means of a message to your browser. In doing so, 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. Even if you are not registered or not logged in, a transmission will take place. If you are also logged in to the social network Facebook, this information is assigned to your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. by clicking the button), this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. In order for you to retain control over your data, we have decided to deactivate the corresponding button for the time being. You can recognize this by the grayed out button. Without your express consent - in the form of activating the button - no link to the social network server will be established and consequently no data will be transmitted.
Only when you activate the button, the button becomes active (highlighted) and a direct connection to the social network server is established.
By activating the button, you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social network provider. In doing so, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited will be transmitted. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the information collected is also assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your social network accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons from your user accounts.
The social networks named below are integrated using the "2-click function". You will find more detailed information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of the data as well as on your rights in this regard and possibilities for protecting your privacy in the linked data protection notices of the providers.
