Google Adwords Conversion Tracking

  • We use Google AdWords services in order to utilise advertising (known as Google AdWords) to draw attention to our attractive offers from external websites. We can use the data from the advertising campaigns to determine how successful individual advertising measures are. This allows us to show you advertising which is interesting to you, make our website more attractive for you and achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.
  • This advertising is delivered by Google via what are known as “Ad Servers”. To do this, we use Ad Server cookies, which allow certain success measurement parameters to be measured, these include display of the adverts or clicks by the user. If you access our website via a Google advert, Google AdWords saves a cookie to your PC. As a rule, these cookies cease to be valid after 30 days and should not be able to identify you personally. Generally, this cookie contains analysis values such as the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (notification that the user no longer wishes to be targeted).
  • These cookies allow Google to recognise your Internet browser again. When a user visits certain pages on the website of an AdWords customer and the cookie on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognise that the user has clicked on the advert and been forwarded to this page. Every AdWords customer is assigned a different cookie. This means cookies cannot be traced via the websites of AdWords customers. We ourselves do not collect and process personal data as part of these advertising measures. All we receive from Google is statistical reports for tracking purposes. Based on these reports, we can determine which of the advertising measures we use are most effective. We do not receive more detailed information based on the use of this advertising, and in particular we cannot use this information to identify users.
  • Based on the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the extent and the further processing of data collected by Google through the use of these tools and can therefore inform you based on our knowledge only: The use of AdWords Conversion provides Google with the information that you have accessed the relevant parts of our website or clicked on one of our adverts. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can attribute this visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or not logged in, it is possible for the provider to find out and save your IP address.
  • You can block these tracking processes in various ways: a) by adjusting the settings in your browser software, disabling third-party cookies means you will not receive adverts from external providers; b) by deactivating cookies for Conversion Tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, although this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating ads personalisation for the providers who are part of the “About Ads” self-regulation campaign by going to the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, although this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies; d) by deactivating permanently in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browser by going to the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices. We would like to point out that, in this case, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this service.

 

Remarketing

As well as AdWords Conversion, we use the Google Remarketing application. This is a process by which we hope to appeal to you again. This application allows our advertising to be displayed to you as you continue to use the internet after visiting our website. This is based on cookies saved in your browser, through which Google records and evaluates your behaviour as you visit various websites. This means Google can see that you have previously visited our website. According to Google, it does not combine any data collected in line with Remarketing with any personal data which Google may hold about you. Google stresses that it uses a pseudonym-based process for remarketing.

 

DoubleClick by Google

  • This website also uses the DoubleClick by Google online marketing tool. DoubleClick uses cookies in order to display adverts which are relevant to the user, improve reports on campaign performance or prevent a user seeing the same adverts several times. Google uses a cookie ID to record which adverts have been displayed in which browser in order to prevent them being displayed multiple times. At the same time, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record what are known as conversions. These relate to advert enquiries. This is the case, for example, if a user sees a DoubleClick advert and then uses the same browser to access the advertiser’s website and buy something. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain personal information.
  • Based on the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the extent and the further processing of data collected by Google through the use of these tools and can therefore inform you based on our knowledge only: The use of DoubleClick provides Google with the information that you have accessed the relevant parts of our website or clicked on one of our adverts. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can attribute this visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or not logged in, it is possible for the provider to find out and save your IP address.
  • You can block these tracking processes in various ways: a) by adjusting the settings in your browser software, disabling third-party cookies means you will not receive adverts from external providers; b) by deactivating cookies for Conversion Tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, although this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating ads personalisation for the providers who are part of the “About Ads” self-regulation campaign by going to the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, although this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies; d) by deactivating permanently in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browser by going to the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices. We would like to point out that, in this case, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this service.
  • The legal basis for the processing of your data is article 6, para. 1, clause 1, letter f, GDPR. You can find further information about DoubleClick by Google at https://www.google.de/doubleclick and http://support.google.com/adsense/answer/2839090, and on data protection at Google in general: https://www.google. de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Google has signed up to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

 

Facebook Custom Audiences

  • The website also uses the “Custom Audiences” remarketing function from Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”). This allows users of the website to be shown adverts related to their interests (“Facebook Ads”) when they visit the social network Facebook or other websites using the process. The aim of this is to show you advertising that is interesting to you in order to make the design of our website more attractive for you.
  • Based on the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Facebook server. We have no influence on the extent and the further processing of data collected by Facebook through the use of these tools and can therefore inform you based on our knowledge only: The use of Facebook Custom Audiences provides Facebook with the information that you have accessed the relevant parts of our website or clicked on one of our adverts. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can attribute this visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or not logged in, it is possible for the provider to find out and save your IP address and other identifying characteristics.
  • The “Facebook custom audiences” function can be deactivated [here and] for logged-in users at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#.
  • The legal basis for the processing of your data is article 6, para. 1, clause 1, letter f, GDPR. Further information on data processing by Facebook can be found at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#.

6. Social media plug-ins

  1. We use the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, Google+, Twitter, LinkedIn. We use what is called the two-click solution.

Only if you click on the selected box and thereby activate it, will the plug-in provider be given the information that you have accessed the relevant page of our website. The data set out in section 2. a. of this policy is also transmitted. According to the providers themselves, Facebook and Xing automatically anonymise all IP addresses in Germany immediately after receiving them. Therefore, activating the plug-in sends personal data about you to the relevant plug-in provider, which then saves it (in the USA, in the case of American providers). As the plug-in providers primarily collect data via cookies, we recommend deleting all cookies via the security settings in your browser before clicking on the greyed-out box.

You have the right to object to the formation of these user profiles, but you will need to contact the respective plug-in provider to exert this right. The plug-ins give you the opportunity to interact with the social networks and other users, so that we can improve our services and make them more interesting for other users.

  4. Data is passed on irrespective of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and whether you are logged in. If you are logged in to the plug-in provider, the data collected from us is assigned directly to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you press the activated button and, for example, link to the page, the plug-in provider also saves this information to your user account and shares it with your contacts in public. We recommend logging out on a regular basis after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, in order to avoid links to your profile with the plug-in provider.
  5. Further information on the purpose and extent of data collection and processing by the plug-in providers can be found in the following privacy policies shared by these providers.

10. reCAPTCHA

We use the reCAPTCHA service from Google Inc. (Google) in order to secure your enquiries made via the contact form. This differentiates whether the input has been made by a human or in an improper way by means of automated, machine processing. The enquiry includes sending the IP address and, where applicable, further information required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. Your input is transmitted to Google for this purpose and processed further. If IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address is first truncated within member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional circumstances is the full address sent to a Google server in the USA and then truncated. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information in order to evaluate your use of the service. The IP address transferred by your browser to reCAPTCHA is not amalgamated with any other Google data. This data is covered by the variant privacy policy from Google. Further information on the Google data protection guidelines can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
