The next time our website is called up with the same terminal device, the information stored in cookies is sent back to our website ("first-party cookie") or another website to which the cookie belongs ("third-party cookie").

If no consent is requested, our legitimate interest (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of this website and services) within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO constitutes the legal basis for the use of cookies.

declared as Based on the consent of the website user, the so-called "Facebook pixel" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, if you are a resident of the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"), is used within this online offer.

Facebook is under the Privacy-Shield-agreement and thereby offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

With the help of the Facebook pixel, it is possible for Facebook to determine the visitors to our online offer as a target group for the display of ads (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of users and do not have a harassing effect. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can further track the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (sog. „Conversion“).

The processing of data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook's data usage policy. Accordingly, general instructions apply to the display of Facebook ads, in the data usage policy of Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. For specific information and details about the Facebook Pixel and how it works, visit Facebook's help section: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.

The user can object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and the use of his data for the display of Facebook ads at any time via the cookie setting. In order to set which types of advertisements are displayed to the user within Facebook, the user can visit the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there regarding the settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

The user can further object to the use of cookies that are used for reach measurement and advertising purposes via the Network Advertising Initiative's deactivation page (https://optout.networkadvertising.org/), additionally via the US website (https://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/) disagree.

If the user does not want to agree to the corresponding data collection (anymore), he can object and deactivate the data collection under the following link: https://de-de.facebook.com/help/769828729705201/.

The User may object to the use of marketing cookies at any time by adjusting his/her cookie settings accordingly.

DISABLE OR DELETE ALL COOKIES

The user can set his web browser in such a way that the storage of cookies on his terminal device is generally prevented or he is asked each time whether he agrees to the setting of cookies. Once cookies have been set, the user can delete them at any time. How the whole thing works is described in the help function of the respective web browser.

A general deactivation of cookies may lead to functional limitations of this website.
