9.3 Use of Payment Service Providers

- Apple Pay

If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing takes place via the "Apple Pay" function of your iOS, watchOS or macOS device by debiting a payment card stored in "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features built into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must enter a code previously set by you and verify it using your device's "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function.

For the purpose of payment processing, your information provided during the ordering process, together with information about your order, will be transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay for payment processing. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment has been made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the successful payment.

If personal data is processed during the transmissions described, the processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was completed successfully. Anonymization completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.

If you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you made through Safari on your Mac, your Mac and authorization device communicate over an encrypted channel on Apple servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify you. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and disable "Allow Payments on Mac".

Further information on data protection at Apple Pay can be found at the following Internet address: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027

To authorize a payment via Google Pay exceeding €25, you must first unlock your mobile device using the verification method you have set up (e.g. facial recognition, password, fingerprint or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, your information provided during the ordering process, together with information about your order, will be transmitted to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a uniquely assigned transaction number to the originating website, which verifies a successful payment. This transaction number contains no information about the real payment data of your payment methods stored in Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a uniquely valid numerical token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts merely as an intermediary for processing the payment. The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the originating website by debiting the payment method stored in Google Pay.

If personal data is processed during the transmissions described, the processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Google reserves the right to collect, store and evaluate certain transaction-specific information for each transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the date, time and amount of the transaction, merchant location and description, a description of the purchased goods or services provided by the merchant, photos you have attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or sender and recipient, the payment method used, your description for the reason for the transaction and, if applicable, the offer associated with the transaction.

According to Google, this processing takes place exclusively in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data and optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

Google also reserves the right to combine the processed transaction data with other information collected and stored by Google when using other Google services.

12) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

12.1 Facebook Pixel for creating Custom Audiences with extended data matching (with Cookie Consent Tool)

Within our online offering, we use the "Facebook Pixel" service from the following provider in extended data matching mode: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook")

If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook, the URL of our linked page is extended by a parameter using "Facebook Pixel". This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser after redirection by a cookie that our linked page itself sets. In addition, this cookie collects specific customer data such as the e-mail address, which we collect on our webpage linked to the Facebook advertisement for processes such as purchases, account registrations, or registrations (extended data matching). The cookie is then read out and enables the transmission of data, including specific customer data, to Facebook.

We use "Facebook Pixel" with extended data matching to make our Facebook ads (so-called "Facebook Ads") more effective and to ensure that they match the interests of users or have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products, which are determined based on the visited webpages) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences").

Furthermore, we analyze the effectiveness of our advertisements by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement (conversion). Compared to the standard version of "Facebook Pixel", the extended data matching function helps us to better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by capturing more assigned conversions.

All transmitted data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that an assignment to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook's Data Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data may enable Facebook and its partners to display ads on and off Facebook.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Facebook is generally transmitted to a Facebook server and stored there; in this context, a transmission to Meta Platforms Inc. servers in the USA may also occur.

12.2 Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses retargeting technology from the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

For this purpose, Google sets a cookie in your end device's browser, which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you visit. Further data processing only takes place if you have agreed with Google that your internet and app browser history will be linked to your Google account and information from your Google account will be used to personalize advertisements you view on the web. If you are logged into Google during your visit to our website in this case, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, your personal data is temporarily linked with Google Analytics data by Google to form target groups. In the context of using Google Ads Remarketing, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without this consent, the retargeting technology will not be used during your visit to the site.

This allows us to specifically target visitors to our websites who have already shown interest in our shop and our products with personalized, interest-based advertising. The advertising material is displayed based on a cookie-based analysis of past and current usage behavior, but no personal data is stored. In the case of retargeting technology, a cookie is stored on your computer or mobile device to record pseudonymized data about your interests and thus adapt the advertising individually to the stored information. These cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device. This way, you will see advertisements that are highly likely to match your product and information interests.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

If you have reached our website from an advertisement on the provider's domain, cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, pings or HTTP requests) can be used to track the success of the advertisement.

For this purpose, certain device and browser information, including your IP address if applicable, is read out via the tracking technology in order to record and evaluate user actions predefined by us (e.g. completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, calls of product pages). This enables the creation of statistics on user behavior on our website after redirection from an advertisement, which serves to optimize our offer.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

12.8 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, within Google Ads, conversion tracking by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. Our aim is to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.

The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are informed of the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that allows users to be personally identified.

When using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

Details on the processing initiated by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and on Google's handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

You can also permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads Conversion Tracking by downloading and installing the browser plug-in from Google available at the following link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de

In order to address users whose data we have received in the course of business or business-like relationships with even more relevant advertising, we use a customer matching function within Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (primarily email addresses and telephone numbers) electronically to Google. Google does not gain access to plain data, but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables personalized advertising to be displayed across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

The transmission of customer data to Google only takes place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. Further information on Google's data protection measures regarding the customer matching function can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=de&ref_topic=10550182

12.9 Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking

This website uses conversion tracking technology from the following provider: Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA

For the use of Universal Event Tracking, a tag is stored on each page of our website that interacts with the conversion cookie set by Microsoft. This interaction makes user behavior on our website traceable and sends the information collected in this way to Microsoft. The purpose of this is to statistically record and evaluate certain predefined goals, such as purchases or leads, in order to make the targeting and content of our offers more relevant to interests. The tags do not at any time serve to personally identify users.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

12.10 Use of SalesViewer® technology:

13) Site functionalities

13.1 YouTube

This website uses plugins for displaying and playing videos from the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

Data may also be transferred to: Google LLC., USA

If you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers to load the plugin. In doing so, certain information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

If the playback of embedded videos is started via the plugin, the provider also uses cookies to collect information about user behavior, create playback statistics and prevent abusive behavior.

If you are logged into a user account with the provider during your visit to the site, your data will be directly assigned to your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish for your data to be associated with your account, you must log out before activating the playback button.

All aforementioned processing, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the end device used, will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your given consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service via the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

13.2 Google Maps

This website uses an online map service from the following provider: Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (country) maps to visually represent geographical information. By using this service, our location is displayed to you and any travel to it is made easier.

Even when accessing the subpages into which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there; this may also involve a transfer to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not wish for your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates these.

The collection, storage and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research and/or tailoring Google websites to meet demand. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of using Google Maps, there is also the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus the map display on this website can then no longer be used.

To the extent legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of withdrawal, please follow the objection option described above.

13.3 Google reCAPTCHA

On this website, we use the CAPTCHA service of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

Data may also be transferred to: Google LLC, USA. For the visual design of the captcha window, the provider uses "Google Fonts", i.e. fonts loaded from the Internet by Google. No further information beyond the data already transmitted to Google via the reCAPTCHA functionality is processed here.

The service checks whether an input is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks and similar automated malicious access. To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not by an automated bot, Cloudflare Turnstile collects the IP address of the end device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits these to the provider's servers for evaluation.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in determining individual accountability on the Internet and preventing abuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

14) Tools and Other

Cookie Consent Tool

Another legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. As controllers, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically non-essential cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

9.3 Use of Payment Service Providers

- Apple Pay

If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" of Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment processing is carried out via the "Apple Pay" function of your terminal device operated with iOS, watchOS or macOS by debiting a payment card deposited with "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features built into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. In order to release a payment, it is therefore necessary to enter a code previously defined by you and to verify it using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your terminal.
For the purpose of payment processing, your information provided during the ordering process, along with information about your order, will be transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data again with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay for payment processing. The encryption ensures that only the website from which the purchase was made can access the payment information. After the payment is made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the payment.
If personal data is processed in the described transmissions, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Apple retains anonymised transaction data, including the approximate amount of the purchase, the approximate date and time and whether the transaction was completed successfully. Anonymisation completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymised data to improve Apple Pay and other Apple products and services.
When you use Apple Pay on iPhone or the Apple Watch to complete a purchase made through Safari on Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate through an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store this information in any format that can identify you personally. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone preferences. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and disable "Allow payments on Mac".

For the release of a payment via Google Pay in the amount of more than 25,- € the prior unlocking of your mobile device by the respective verification measure (e.g. face recognition, password, fingerprint or pattern) is required.
For the purpose of payment processing, your information provided during the ordering process, together with the information about your order, will be forwarded to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a unique transaction number to the source website, which is used to verify a payment. This transaction number does not contain any information about the real payment data of your means of payment deposited with Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a uniquely valid numeric token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts merely as an intermediary to process the payment transaction. The transaction is carried out exclusively in the relationship between the user and the source website by debiting the means of payment deposited with Google Pay.
If personal data are processed in the described transmissions, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Google reserves the right to collect, store and evaluate certain transaction-specific information for each transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the date, time and amount of the transaction, the merchant's location and description, a description provided by the merchant of the goods or services purchased, photos that you have attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or the sender and recipient, the payment method used, your description of the reason for the transaction and, if applicable, the offer associated with the transaction.
According to Google, this processing is carried out exclusively in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data and optimisation and maintenance of the functionality of the Google Pay service.
Google also reserves the right to combine the processed transaction data with other information which is collected and stored by Google when using other Google services.

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()", which ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and excludes the possibility of direct personal reference. Through the extension, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before.

On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide us with further services related to the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google (Universal) Analytics is not combined with other Google data.
Via a special function called "Demographics", Google Analytics also enables the compilation of statistics with statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors based on an evaluation of interest-related advertising and with the use of third-party information. This allows the definition and differentiation of user groups of the website for the purpose of target-group-optimized marketing measures. However, data sets collected via "Demographics" cannot be assigned to a specific person.

12) Retargeting/Remarketing/ Referral Advertising

12.1 Facebook pixel for creating custom audiences with extended data matching feature (with Cookie Consent Tool)
Within our online offer, the so-called "Facebook pixel" of the social network Facebook in extended data matching mode is applied. It is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter "Facebook").
If a user, who has given his explicit consent, clicks on an advertisement placed by us and played on Facebook, an addition is made to the URL of our linked page by Facebook pixels. This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser via a cookie after it has been forwarded, which is set by our linked page itself. In addition, this cookie collects specific customer information, such as the email address that we collect on our Facebook-associated website during transactions such as purchases, account signups, or registrations (advanced data matching). The cookie is then read by Facebook Pixel and enables the data, including the specific customer data, to be forwarded to Facebook.
With the help of the Facebook pixel with extended data matching feature, Facebook is able to determine visitors of our online offer as a target group for the presentation of ads (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, the Facebook pixel with extended data matching feature to display Facebook ads placed by us will be presented only to Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offer or who demonstrate certain characteristics (e.g., interest in certain topics or products determined by means of the websites visited) which we transmit to Facebook (so-called "custom audiences"). When using Facebook pixels, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads match the potential interest of users and are not annoying. This allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by tracking whether users were forwarded to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad ("conversion"). Compared to the standard variant of Facebook Pixel, the extended data matching feature helps us better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by tracking more associated conversions.
All transmitted data is stored and processed by Facebook to enable a connection to the respective user profile and to allow Facebook to use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Guidelines (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data may enable Facebook and its partners to place advertisements on and off Facebook.
These processes are subject to express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR.
Consent to the use of the Facebook pixel may only be given by users who are older than 13 years of age. If you are younger, please ask your parent or guardian for permission.
The information generated by Facebook is usually transmitted to a Facebook server and stored there; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, remove the tick next to the setting for the "Facebook Pixel" in the "Cookie Consent Tool" embedded on the website.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

The advertising material is displayed based on a cookie-based analysis of previous and current user behavior; whereby no personal data is stored.

12.4 Google Ads Remarketing

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your terminal device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize if the user has clicked on the ad and has been directed to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies therefore cannot be tracked across Google Ads customers’ websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have chosen conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and who were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. The use of Google Ads may also result in the transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

12.7 - Google Ads Conversion-Tracking

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across Google Ads clients' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Clients learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
The use of Google Ads may also result in the transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

Details on the processing triggered by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and on Google's handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

All of the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR.

In order to address users whose data we have received in the context of business or business-like relationships in a more interest-oriented advertising manner, we use a customer matching function in the context of Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (primarily email addresses and telephone numbers) electronically to Google. Google does not have access to clear data, but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables personalized advertising to be played via all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

Customer data will only be transferred to Google if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.

The service checks whether an input is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing with the aim of blocking spam, DDoS attacks and similar automated malicious attacks. To ensure whether an action is performed by a human being and not by an automated bot, Cloudflare Turnstile collects the IP address of the end device used, the recognition data of the browser, the operating system type and the date and duration of the visit and transmits these data to the provider's servers to be evaluated.

This process is based on our legitimate interest in determining individual responsibility when using the Internet and in preventing abuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

10) Online Marketing

- Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense, a web advertising service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). Google AdSense uses so-called "cookies", which are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. To collect information, Google AdSense also uses so-called "web beacons" (small invisible graphics) which can be used to record, collect and analyse simple activities such as visitor traffic on the website. The information generated by the cookie and/or web beacon (including your IP address) about your use of the website is generally transmitted to a Google server and stored there. This may also involve a transfer to Google LLC's servers in the USA.

Google uses the information thus obtained to analyse your usage behaviour regarding AdSense ads. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google AdSense will not be merged with other Google data. The information collected by Google may be transferred to third parties if this is legally required and/or insofar as third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
All types of processing described above, in particular the reading of information on the end device used by means of cookies and/or web beacons, will only take place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. Without your given consent, Google AdSense will not be used during your page visit.

You can revoke your given consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website.
You can view Google's data protection provisions here: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

For data transfers to the US, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

11) Web Analysis Services

11.1 Google (Universal) Analytics

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ('Google'). Google (Universal) Analytics uses so-called cookies. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information collected by the cookie about your use of this website (including your shortened IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there. A transfer to Google LLC servers in the USA is possible.

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the extension '_anonymizeIp()', which ensures the anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and makes direct personal identification impossible. Through the extension, your IP address is first shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google LLC server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on your website activities and to provide us with other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google (Universal) Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Google Analytics also enables the creation of statistics with statements on the age, gender and interests of website visitors based on an evaluation of interest-based advertising and including information from third parties via a special function, the so-called 'demographic characteristics'. This makes it possible to define and differentiate user groups of the website with a view to a target-group-oriented orientation of marketing measures. However, the data records collected via the 'demographic characteristics' cannot be assigned to a specific person.

Further information on the processing carried out by Google Analytics and how Google handles data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
All the processing options described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for reading out information on the end device used, are only carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter a, GDPR. Without this consent, the use of Google Analytics will not take place during your visit to our website.

You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must deactivate this service in the 'cookie consent tool' provided on the website.

On this website, the "Google Signals" service can also be used as an extension of Google Analytics. Google Signals enables cross-device reports to be created by Google (so-called "cross-device tracking"). If you have activated "personalised ads" in your Google account settings and you have linked your internet-connected devices to your Google account, Google can analyse user behaviour across different devices and create database models based on this, provided you have given consent for the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter a, GDPR (see above). The logins and device types of all page visitors who were logged into a Google account and performed a conversion are taken into account. The data shows, among other things, on which device you first clicked on an ad and on which device the associated conversion took place. Insofar as Google Signals is used, we do not receive any personal data from Google, but only statistics that are compiled based on Google Signals. You have the option to deactivate the "personalised ads" function in your Google account settings and thus disable cross-device analysis.

To do this, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=nl
More information can be found here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=nl

As an extension to Google Analytics, the "UserIDs" function can also be used on this website. By assigning individual UserIDs, we can have Google create cross-device reports (so-called "cross-device tracking"). This means that your usage behaviour can also be analysed across devices if you have given consent for the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter a, GDPR, if you have created a personal account by registering on this website and have logged into your personal account on various end devices with your relevant login data. The data collected in this way shows, among other things, on which end device you first clicked on an advertisement and on which end device the respective conversion took place.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics, which obliges Google to protect the data of our website visitors and not to pass it on to third parties.

11.2 Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ('Google'), to analyze website usage.

When using Google Analytics 4, so-called 'cookies' are used by default. Cookies are text files that are stored on your end device and enable an analysis of your use of a website. The information collected by cookies about your use of the website (including the IP address transmitted by your end device, abbreviated by the last digits, see below) is generally transmitted to a Google server and stored and processed there. This may also lead to information being transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the United States, where the information is further processed.

When using Google Analytics 4, the IP address transmitted by your end device when you use the website is always collected and processed automatically and by default only in an anonymized manner. This means that the collected information cannot be directly linked to a person. This automatic anonymization is performed by Google by shortening the IP address, which is transmitted by your end device within the member states of the European Union (EU) or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA), with the last digits.

Google uses this and other information on our behalf to analyze your use of the website, to compile reports on your website activities and user behavior, and to provide us with other services related to website use and internet connection. In this context, the IP address transmitted by your end device within the scope of Google Analytics 4 and shortened will not be merged with other Google data. The data collected within the scope of using Google Analytics 4 is stored for 2 months and then deleted.

Google Analytics 4 also enables the creation of statistics with regard to age, gender and interests of website users based on an evaluation of interest-based advertising and including information from third parties via a special function, the so-called 'demographic characteristics'. This makes it possible to identify and differentiate user groups with a view to targeted marketing content. However, the data collected via the 'demographic characteristics' cannot be assigned to a specific person and therefore not to you personally. This data collected via the 'demographic characteristics' function is stored for two months and then deleted.
All the processing options described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for storing and reading out information on the end device used, are only carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter a, GDPR. Without this consent, the use of Google Analytics 4 will not take place during your visit to the website. You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must deactivate this service in the 'Cookie Consent Tool' on the website.

As an extension of Google Analytics, the "UserIDs" function can also be used on this website. By assigning individual UserIDs, we can have Google create cross-device reports (so-called "cross-device tracking"). This means that your usage behavior can also be analyzed across devices if you have given your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR, if you have created a personal account by registering on this website and have logged into your personal account on various end devices with your relevant login data. The data collected in this way shows, among other things, on which end device you first clicked on an advertisement and on which end device the corresponding conversion took place.

For our use of Google Analytics 4, we have concluded a so-called data processing agreement with Google, which obliges Google to protect the data of our website users and not to pass it on to third parties.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which guarantees compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

Further legal information on Google Analytics 4, including a copy of the aforementioned standard contractual clauses, can be found via the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=nl&gl=de

The Google Tag Manager provides a technical basis for bundling various web applications, including tracking and analysis services, and being able to calibrate, monitor and link them to conditions via a uniform user interface.

The Google Tag Manager itself does not store or read any information on user devices. The service also does not perform any independent data analysis.

However, the Google Tag Manager transmits your IP address to Google when you call up a page and can store it there. Transmission to servers of Google LLC. in the United States is also possible.

This processing is only carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. Without this consent, Google Tag Manager will not be used during your visit to the website.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, you must deactivate this service in the 'Cookie Consent Tool' provided on the website. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google, which obliges Google to protect the data of visitors to our website and not to pass it on to third parties.

11.4 Microsoft Clarity

This website uses the web analytics service of the following provider: Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399 USA

With the help of cookies and/or similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading out end device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information about the end device used such as the IP address and browser information, to evaluate it for statistical analyzes of user behavior on our website and to create pseudonymized user profiles. This enables, among other things, the evaluation of movement patterns (so-called heatmaps), which show the duration of the page visit and the interactions with the page content (e.g. text input, scrolling, clicks and mouseovers). Pseudonymization fundamentally excludes the possibility of direct personal reference. Your personal data is not merged with data collected in any other way.

All processing described above, in particular the reading or storing of information on the end device used, is only carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

12) Retargeting/remarketing/recommendation advertising

12.1 Facebook Pixel for creating Custom Audiences with extended data matching (with Cookie Consent Tool)

Within our online offering, we use the "Facebook Pixel" service from the following provider in extended data matching mode: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").

If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook, the URL of our linked page is extended with a parameter using "Facebook Pixel". This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser after the redirection by a cookie that our linked page itself sets. In addition, this cookie collects specific customer data, such as the email address that we collect on our website linked to the Facebook advertisement during processes such as purchase transactions, account logins or registrations (extended data matching). The cookie is then read and enables the transfer of the data, including the specific customer data, to Facebook.

We use "Facebook Pixel" with advanced data matching to make our Facebook advertisements (so-called "Facebook Ads") more effective and to ensure that they match the interests of users or have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined based on the visited websites) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences").

In addition, we analyze the effectiveness of our advertisements by tracking whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement (conversion). Compared to the standard variant of the "Facebook Pixel", the extended data matching function helps us to better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by recording more attributed conversions.

All transmitted data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that an assignment to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook's guidelines for data usage (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data can enable Facebook and its partners to offer advertisements on and outside Facebook.

All processing described above, in particular the placement of cookies for reading out information on the end device used, is only carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which protects the data of our website visitors and prohibits transfer to third parties.

The information generated by Facebook is usually transferred to a Facebook server and stored there; in this context, a transfer to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the United States may also occur.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which guarantees compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

12.3 Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses the online advertising program 'Google Ads' and, within the framework of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ('Google').

We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites using advertising media (the so-called Google Adwords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. In this way, we strive to show you advertising that interests you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to achieve a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.
The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an advertisement placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked on Google Ads customer websites. The information obtained with the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers know the total number of users who clicked on their advertisement and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. The use of Google Ads can also lead to the transfer of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

In this way, we aim to show you advertising that interests you, make our website more interesting for you, and obtain a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.
The conversion tracking cookie is placed when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device.

https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=nl

To address users whose data we have received in the context of business or commercial relationships in a more interest-oriented manner for advertising, we use a customer matching function within Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (primarily email addresses and phone numbers) electronically to Google. Google does not have access to clear data but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encoded information can then only be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This allows personalized ads to be played across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

Customer data will only be passed on to Google if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, point a) GDPR. You can withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future.

13.1 Use of YouTube videos

This website uses the YouTube embedding function to indicate and display videos from the provider 'YouTube', which is part of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ('Google').
In this context, the 'extended data protection mode' is applied, whereby the storage of user information is only initiated by the provider when the video or videos are played. When the display of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider 'YouTube' activates cookies to collect information about user behavior. According to information from 'YouTube', these serve, among other things, to compile video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent unlawful activities. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly linked to your account when you click on a video. If you want to prevent your profile from being linked to YouTube, you must log out before activating the button.

You have the right to object to this user profiling, in which case you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. When using YouTube, a transfer of personal data to the server of Google LLC. in the USA is also possible.

Regardless of the display of embedded videos, a connection is made to the Google network with every visit to this website, which can lead to further data processing without our influence.

By using this service, you can view our location and any route planning to our location will be easier.

Even when opening subpages that include the Google Maps map, information about your use of our website (e.g., your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there. A transfer to the server of Google LLC. in the USA is possible. This happens regardless of whether Google offers a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the data to be assigned to your profile by Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even from non-logged-in users) as usage profiles and analyzes them. Such an analysis takes place in particular in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interests in displaying personalized advertising, market research, and/or needs-based design of its website. You have the right to object to the formation of these user profiles, in which case you must contact Google to exercise your objection.

If you do not agree to the future transfer of your data to Google in the context of using Google Maps, you can completely deactivate the Google Maps service. You do this by deactivating the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website cannot then be used.

No other information is processed than that mentioned above, which is already transmitted to Google via the functionality of ReCaptcha.

This service checks whether an input has been made by a natural person or a machine and blocks spam, DDoS attacks, and similar cybercrime. To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not by an automated bot, Cloudflare Turnstile collects the IP address of the end device used, identification data of the type of browser and operating system used, and the date and duration of the visit, and transmits these to the provider's servers for evaluation.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in establishing individual personal responsibility on the internet and preventing abuse and spam in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, point f) GDPR.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

For data transfers to the US, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which guarantees compliance with the European level of data protection based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

14) Miscellaneous

This website uses a so-called 'cookie consent tool' to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The 'cookie consent tool' is shown to users as an interactive user interface when they access the page, where consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking the relevant box. By using the tool, all cookies/services that require consent are only loaded if the user concerned gives their consent by ticking the corresponding box. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the user's end device if consent has been given.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed.
If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed to save, assign or log cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, point f) of the GDPR based on our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.
Further legal basis for the processing is Article 6, paragraph 1, point c) of the GDPR. As the responsible party, we are legally obliged to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the user's consent.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which guarantees the protection of the data of our site's visitors and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.
More information about the operator and the setting options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

If you subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address.

You will then receive a confirmation e-mail asking you to confirm that you wish to receive future newsletters by clicking on a corresponding link.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. When you register for the newsletter, we store your IP address entered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of your e-mail address at a later date.

9.3 Use of payment service providers

- Apple Pay

If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment processing is done via the "Apple Pay" function of your terminal device running with iOS, watchOS or macOS by loading a payment card stored with "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses hardware- and software-integrated security features in your device to protect your transactions. To release a payment, you must enter a previously defined code and verify it using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your terminal device.

For the purpose of payment processing, the data you provide during the ordering process, along with information about your order, will be transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data again with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay to effect the payment. Encryption ensures that only the website from which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment has been made, Apple sends the device account number and a dynamic transaction-specific security code to the originating website to confirm the success of the payment.
If personal data is processed during the described transfers, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Apple stores transaction data in an anonymized form, including the approximate purchase amount, approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was completed successfully. Anonymization completely eliminates the possibility of any personal reference. Apple uses anonymized data to improve Apple Pay and other Apple products and services.

When using Apple Pay on an iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made via Safari on a Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate over an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can personally identify you. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and deselect "Allow Payments on Mac".

To safeguard our legitimate interest in verifying the creditworthiness of our customers, we transmit this data to the provider in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR for creditworthiness checks. Based on the personal data provided by you and other data (such as the shopping cart, the invoiced amount, order history, information on previous payments), the provider checks whether the payment option selected by you can be granted in relation to payment and/or insolvency risks.

Within the scope of the request review, according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, information on identity and creditworthiness from the following credit agencies may be included in the decision-making process, in addition to the provider's internal criteria:

The credit check may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as they affect the outcome of the credit check, the score values are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. The calculation of the score values is influenced, among other things, but not exclusively, by address data.

10) Online Marketing

- Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). Google AdSense uses so-called cookies, which are text files saved on the user's computer that allow for analysis of how the user uses the site. To collect information, Google AdSense also uses so-called "web beacons" (small invisible graphics), which allow for simple actions including recording, collecting, and analyzing visitor traffic on the site. The information generated by the cookie and/or web beacon (including the IP address) regarding the user's use of this website is typically transmitted to and stored on a Google server. The transmission may also occur to Google LLC servers in the United States.

Google uses the information thus obtained to analyze the user's use of AdSense ads. The IP address transmitted by the user's browser in the context of Google AdSense is not associated with other Google data. The information collected by Google may in some cases be transmitted to third parties, insofar as this is required by law and/or these third parties process the data on Google's behalf.

The processing described above, and in particular the collection of information present on the mobile device used through cookies and/or web beacons, takes place, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, only with the explicit consent of the user. In the absence of such consent, the Google AdSense service will be deactivated during the site visit.

The user has the right to revoke their consent at any time with future effect. To exercise the right of revocation, the user can deactivate the service using the appropriate cookie consent tool available on the site.

Further information on Google's data protection provisions can be found at: https://www.google.it/policies/privacy/

For data transfers to the United States, the provider has adhered to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

11) Web analysis service

11.1 Google (Universal) Analytics

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (hereinafter "Google"). Google (Universal) Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files placed on the user's device that allow for analysis of how the user uses the website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the website (including the user's IP address in abbreviated form) is typically transmitted to and stored on a Google server. In this context, personal data may be transmitted to Google LLC servers in the United States.

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()", which guarantees anonymity by truncating the user's IP address and thus preventing direct traceability to a specific person. Through this extension, in member states of the European Union or other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, the user's IP address is first truncated by Google. Only in exceptional cases will the user's IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA in full, to be truncated there. Google uses this information on our behalf to analyze the user's website usage, to prepare reports on website activities, and to provide us with further services related to website and internet usage. In this context, the IP address transmitted by the user's browser within Google (Universal) Analytics is not associated with other data held by Google.

Through a dedicated function, Google Analytics allows for the detection of so-called "demographic characteristics" and also to compile statistics relating to the age, gender, and interests of website visitors, by using interest-based advertising analysis and information obtained from third-party providers. This allows for the definition and differentiation of website user groups to define marketing measures targeted at these target groups. However, the data sets collected through "demographic characteristics" do not allow for tracing back to an individual person.

For more information on data processing by Google Analytics and Google's management of website data, please visit: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
The treatments described above, and in particular the saving of Google Analytics cookies aimed at detecting information present on the mobile device used, take place, pursuant to art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR, only upon the user's express consent. In the absence of such consent, Google Analytics will be deactivated during the visit to the website.

The user has the right to revoke their consent at any time with future effect. To exercise the right of revocation, the user can deactivate the service using the appropriate cookie consent tool available on the website.

On this website, the "Google Signals" service may also be used as an extension of Google Analytics. With Google Signals, Google can create cross-device reports (so-called "cross-device tracking"). If you have enabled "personalized ads" in your Google account settings and linked your internet-enabled devices to your Google account, Google can analyze user behavior across devices and create database models based on this, provided you have given your consent to the use of Google Analytics pursuant to art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR (see above). Logins and device types of all page visitors who have logged into a Google account and performed a conversion are taken into account. The data shows, among other things, on which device the user first clicked on an ad and on which device the related conversion occurred. To the extent that Google Signals is used, we do not receive any personal data from Google, but only compiled statistics based on Google Signals. You have the option to disable the "personalized ads" function in your Google account settings, thereby disabling cross-device analysis.

To do this, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=it
Further information is available here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=it

As an extension of Google Analytics, the "UserIDs" function can also be used on this site. With the assignment of individual UserIDs, Google can create cross-device reports (so-called "cross-device tracking"). This means that your usage behavior can also be analyzed across various devices, if you have given your consent to the use of Google Analytics pursuant to art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR, if you have created a personal account by registering on this website and if you have logged into your personal account on different end devices with the corresponding login data. The data thus collected shows, among other things, on which end device you first clicked on an ad and on which end device the corresponding conversion occurred.

11.2 Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google") which allows for the analysis of website usage.

The use of Google Analytics 4 typically involves the use of so-called "cookies". Cookies are text files saved on the user's device that allow for the analysis of the user's website usage. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the website (including the user's abbreviated IP address transmitted by the respective device, see below) is generally transmitted, stored, and processed on a Google server in the United States. Some data may also be transmitted to Google LLC servers in the United States, where further processing takes place.

When visiting our site, Google Analytics 4 automatically detects and processes the IP address of the user's device only in an anonymized form, which prevents tracing back to the individual person to whom the collected data refers. In member states of the European Union (EU) or other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA), automatic anonymization occurs through prior truncation, by Google, of the last digits of the IP address transmitted by the device.

Google uses this and other information on our behalf to analyze the user's website usage, to prepare reports on website activities, i.e., user behavior, and to provide us with further services related to website and internet usage. In the context of Google Analytics 4, the IP address transmitted by the user's device and truncated is not associated with other data held by Google. The data collected in the context of Google Analytics 4 is stored for 2 months and then deleted.

Through a dedicated function, Google Analytics 4 allows for the detection of so-called "demographic characteristics" and also to compile statistics relating to the age, gender, and interests of website visitors, by using interest-based advertising analysis and information obtained from third-party providers. This allows for the definition and differentiation of website user groups to appropriately orient marketing measures to target groups. However, the data sets collected through "demographic characteristics" do not allow for tracing back to an individual person. The data collected through the "demographic characteristics" function is stored for two months and then deleted.

The treatments described above, and in particular the creation of Google Analytics cookies aimed at detecting and saving information present on the mobile device used to visit the site, take place, pursuant to art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR, only upon the user's express consent. In the absence of the user's consent, Google Analytics 4 will be deactivated when visiting the site. The user has the right to revoke the consent given at any time with future effect. To exercise the right of revocation, the user can deactivate the service using the appropriate cookie consent tool available on the site.
On this website, the "Google Signals" service may also be used as an extension of Google Analytics. With Google Signals, Google can create cross-device reports (so-called "cross-device tracking"). If you have enabled "personalized ads" in your Google account settings and linked your internet-enabled devices to your Google account, Google can analyze user behavior across devices and create database models based on this, provided you have given your consent to the use of Google Analytics pursuant to art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR (see above). Logins and device types of all page visitors who have logged into a Google account and performed a conversion are taken into account. The data shows, among other things, on which device the user first clicked on an ad and on which device the related conversion occurred. To the extent that Google Signals is used, we do not receive any personal data from Google, but only compiled statistics based on Google Signals. You have the option to disable the "personalized ads" function in your Google account settings, thereby disabling cross-device analysis.

To do this, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=it
Further information is available here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=it

As an extension of Google Analytics, the "UserIDs" function can also be used on this site. With the assignment of individual UserIDs, Google can create cross-device reports (so-called "cross-device tracking"). This means that your usage behavior can also be analyzed across various devices, if you have given your consent to the use of Google Analytics pursuant to art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR, if you have created a personal account by registering on this website and if you have logged into your personal account on different end devices with the corresponding login data. The data thus collected shows, among other things, on which end device you first clicked on an ad and on which end device the corresponding conversion occurred.

A data processing agreement has been concluded with Google for the use of Google Analytics 4, which obliges the company to protect the personal data of our website visitors and prohibits its forwarding to third parties.

For data transfers to the United States, the provider has adhered to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which guarantees compliance with the European level of data protection based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

With the help of cookies and/or similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading information on the end device and browser), the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information on the end device used, such as IP address and browser information, in order to evaluate it for statistical analysis of user behavior on our website and to create pseudonymized user profiles. This allows, among other things, to evaluate movement patterns (so-called Heatmaps), which show the duration of page visits and interactions with page content (e.g., text entries, scrolling, clicks, and mouse hovering). Pseudonymization fundamentally excludes the possibility of direct personal reference. Combination with personal data collected otherwise does not occur.

All the processing described above, in particular the reading or saving of information on the end device used, is carried out only if the user has given us their explicit consent pursuant to art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service via the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website.

We have entered into an agreement with the provider, which guarantees the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits its unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Google Tag Manager provides the technical prerequisites for grouping various web applications, including tracking and analysis services, and for calibrating and managing a consistent user interface and binding it to certain conditions.

Google Tag Manager itself does not store or extract any information about users' devices. The service also does not perform any independent data analysis.

However, by visiting the site, Google Tag Manager will transmit the user's IP address to Google, where it may be stored. It is also possible that the transmission occurs to Google LLC. servers in the United States.

Processing takes place, pursuant to art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR, only upon the user's express consent. In the absence of such consent, Google Tag Manager will be deactivated during the visit to the website.

The user has the right to revoke their consent at any time with future effect. To exercise the right of revocation, the user can deactivate the service using the appropriate cookie consent tool available on the website. A data processing agreement has been concluded with Google, which obliges the company to protect the personal data of our website visitors and prohibits its forwarding to third parties.

For data transfers to the United States, the provider has adhered to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which guarantees compliance with the European level of data protection based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

12) Retargeting / Remarketing / Recommendation advertising

12.1 Facebook Pixel for creating Custom Audiences with advanced data matching (using the cookie consent tool)

Within our online offer, we use the "Facebook Pixel" service from the following provider in advanced data matching mode: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").

If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook, the URL of our linked page is extended with a parameter via "Facebook Pixel". This URL parameter is inserted into the user's browser after redirection by a cookie set directly by our linked page. In addition, this cookie records specific customer data, such as the email address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook advertisement during processes such as completing purchases, logging in, or registering accounts (advanced data matching). The cookie is then read and allows for the transfer of data, including customer-specific data, to Facebook.

We use "Facebook Pixel" with advanced data matching to make our advertisements on Facebook (so-called "Facebook Ads") more effective and to ensure that they meet the interests of users or have certain characteristics (for example, interest in certain topics or products detected based on visited sites) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audience").

Furthermore, we analyze the effectiveness of our advertisements by monitoring whether users have been redirected to our site after clicking on an advertisement (conversion). Compared to the standard variant of "Facebook Pixel", the advanced data matching function helps us to better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by recording a greater number of associated conversions.

Facebook saves and processes all transmitted data, thereby allowing it to be associated with the respective user profile; Facebook may use this data for its own advertising purposes. This data enables Facebook and its partners to display advertisements both on the Facebook platform and outside of it.

The processing described above, and in particular the setting of cookies to collect information present on the mobile device used, takes place pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) of the GDPR only with the explicit consent of the user. The user has the right to revoke their consent at any time, with future effect, by deactivating this service using the appropriate cookie consent tool on the website.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our users' data and prohibits its unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Information generated via Facebook is usually transmitted to and stored on a Facebook server; in this context, a transfer to Meta Platforms Inc. servers in the United States may also occur.

For data transfers to the United States, the provider has acceded to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

12.2 Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, within the framework of Google Ads, the conversion tracking service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (hereinafter "Google"). We use the Google Ads offering to draw the user's attention to our interesting offers from external websites through advertisements (so-called Google Adwords). Campaign data allows us to determine the success of individual advertising initiatives. Our goal is to show the user advertisements of interest to them, to make our website more interesting, and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when the user clicks on an AdWords ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the user's computer. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and our company can detect that the user in question has clicked on an ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be traced using the website of an AdWords customer. The information collected with conversion cookies is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers can find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag, but they do not receive information that allows them to personally identify users. In the context of using Google Ads, personal data may be transmitted to Google LLC servers in the United States.

For more details on the processing carried out by the Google Ads Conversion Tracking service and on the processing of website data by Google, please visit: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
The processing described above, and in particular the storage of cookies to collect information present on the mobile device used, takes place, pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR, only with the explicit consent of the user. In the absence of such consent, the Google Ads conversion tracking service will be deactivated during the website visit.

The user has the right to revoke their consent at any time with future effect. To exercise the right of revocation, the user can deactivate the service using the appropriate cookie consent tool available on the website.

The user can permanently object to the storage of cookies for conversion tracking by Google Ads by downloading and installing the Google browser plugin available at the following link:
https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996?hl=it

Please note, however, that if cookies are deactivated, certain functions of the website may not be available or may only be partially usable.

- Google Ads Conversion Tracking

This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, within the framework of Google Ads, conversion tracking by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use Google Ads to draw attention to our interesting offers on external websites with the help of advertising (so-called Google Adwords). We can determine the success of individual advertising measures in relation to campaign data. Our goal is to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to achieve a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the user's end device. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained via the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page marked with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

In order to target users whose data we have received within the framework of business or similar relationships in a more interest-oriented advertising way, we use a customer matching function within Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (mainly e-mail addresses and telephone numbers) to Google electronically. Google does not have access to clear data, but automatically encrypts the information contained in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can only be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts that the data subjects have created. This allows personalized advertising to be reproduced across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

Customer data will only be transmitted to Google if the user has given us their explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with future effect. Further information on Google's data protection measures in relation to the customer matching function can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=it&ref_topic=10550182

9.3 Use of payment service providers

- Apple Pay

If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing is carried out via the "Apple Pay" function of your terminal device running iOS, watchOS or macOS by debiting a payment card deposited with "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features built into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. To unlock a payment, you must enter a code you have previously set and verify it using your terminal device's "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function.

For payment processing purposes, the information you provide during the order process, as well as information related to your order, will be transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before transmitting it to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay to complete the payment. This encryption ensures that only the website from which the purchase was made can access the payment data. Once the payment is complete, Apple sends your device account number and a dynamic, transaction-specific security code to the source website to confirm successful payment.

If personal data is processed during the described transfers, the processing is carried out exclusively for payment processing purposes in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Apple retains anonymous transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successful. Anonymization completely eliminates the possibility of any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymous data to improve Apple Pay and other Apple products and services.

When using Apple Pay on iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made via Safari on a Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate over an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that personally identifies you. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and uncheck "Allow payments on Mac".

- Google Pay

If you choose the "Google Pay" payment method, operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), payment processing is carried out via the Google Pay app on your mobile device running at least Android 4.4 ("KitKat") and equipped with an NFC function, by debiting a payment card stored with Google Pay or a payment system verified there (e.g. PayPal). To unlock a payment via Google Pay for an amount exceeding €25, prior unlocking of your mobile device is required using the implemented verification measure (e.g. facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the order process, as well as information related to your order, is transmitted to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored with Google Pay in the form of a unique transaction number to the source website, which serves to verify that the payment has been made. This transaction number does not contain any information about the payment data you have stored with Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a single-use digital token. For all transactions made via Google Pay, Google acts only as an intermediary for the payment process. The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the source website by debiting the payment method stored with Google Pay.

If personal data is processed during the described transmissions, the processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
Google reserves the right to collect, store, and evaluate certain transaction-specific information for each transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the date, time, and amount of the transaction, the location and description of the merchant, a description of the goods or services purchased provided by the merchant, photos you have attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or sender and recipient, the payment method used, your description for the reason for the transaction, and, if applicable, the offer linked to the transaction.

According to Google, this processing is carried out exclusively in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, based on the legitimate interest in correct billing, verification of transaction data, and the optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.
Google also reserves the right to combine the processed transaction data with other information collected and stored by Google when using other Google services.

This may lead to transmission to servers located in the USA.

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the "anonymizeIp()" extension. This extension ensures the anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and thus excludes any direct personal link to the user.

Google Analytics also allows for the creation of statistics with statements about the age, gender, and interests of website visitors, based on an evaluation of interest-based advertising and with the inclusion of third-party information via a special function called "demographic characteristics." This makes it possible to define and differentiate website user groups for the purpose of targeting marketing measures. However, the data collected via "demographic characteristics" cannot be attributed to a specific person.

Details regarding the processing generated by Google Analytics and the processing of data collected on the website by Google can be found at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites?hl=fr

To the extent that you have activated "personalized ads" in your Google account settings and linked your internet-connected devices to your Google account, Google can analyze user behavior across devices in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, point a) GDPR (see above) and create database models based on this analysis. This includes connections and device types of all page visitors who were logged into a Google account and performed a conversion. The data shows, among other things, on which device you first clicked on an ad and on which device the corresponding conversion took place. To the extent that Google Signals is used, we do not receive personal data from Google, but only statistics based on Google Signals. You have the option to deactivate the "personalized ads" function in your Google account settings and thus deactivate multi-device analysis. To do this, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=fr

Further information can be found here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=fr

The "UserIDs" function can also be used on this website as an extension of Google Analytics. By assigning individual UserIDs, we can have reports generated by Google for all devices (so-called "Cross Device Tracking"). This means that if you give your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, point a) of the GDPR, your usage behavior can also be analyzed across multiple devices, if you have created a personal account by registering on this website and are logged into your personal account on different devices with your corresponding login data. The data collected in this way shows, among other things, on which device you first clicked on an ad and on which device the corresponding conversion took place.

We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics, which obliges Google to protect the data of visitors to our site and not to transmit it to third parties.
For data transfers from the EU to the United States, Google relies on the so-called standard data protection clauses of the European Commission, which aim to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection in the United States.

Google Tag Manager itself does not store or read any information on user devices. The service also does not carry out autonomous data analyses.

However, when a page is accessed, your IP address is transmitted to Google via Google Tag Manager and may be stored there. Transmission to Google LLC. servers in the USA may occur.

This processing is only carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, point a) GDPR. Without this consent, Google Tag Manager will not be used during your visit to the site.

11.4 Microsoft Clarity

This website uses the web analytics service of the following provider: Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399 USA

Using cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixel, web beacons, algorithms for extracting information related to the device and browser), this service collects and stores pseudonymized data about visitors, including information about the device used, such as the IP address and information about the browser, in order to use it for statistical analysis of user behavior on our site and to create pseudonymized user profiles. This makes it possible, among other things, to analyze heatmaps that show the duration of page visits and interactions with their content (e.g., text input, on-screen scrolling, clicks, and mouseovers). Pseudonymization inherently excludes the possibility of directly identifying the user. There is no compilation of clear data about you in any other way.

We carry out all the processing described above, in particular the extraction or storage of information on the device used, only if you have given us your express consent for this purpose in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw the consent you have given at any time, with future effect, by deactivating this service in the "cookie consent tool" available on the site.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the personal data of visitors to our site and prohibits any unauthorized transmission to third parties.

12) Retargeting, Remarketing and Advertising Recommendation

12.1 Facebook Pixel for creating custom audiences with extended data synchronization

Our online offer uses "Facebook Pixel" from the social network Facebook, which is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").

Based on the user's express consent, when a user clicks on an advertisement displayed on Facebook and placed by us, an addition is appended to the URL of our linked page by Facebook Pixel. After the transfer, this URL parameter is then written into the user's browser via a cookie, which our linked page itself establishes. In addition, this cookie collects specific customer data, such as email address, that we collect on our website linked to the Facebook advertisement during transactions such as purchases, account logins, or registrations (extended data matching). The cookie is then read by Facebook Pixel and allows the data, including specific customer data, to be transmitted to Facebook.

With the help of Facebook Pixel with extended data synchronization, it is possible for Facebook, on the one hand, to precisely identify visitors to our online offer as a target group for displaying advertisements (so-called "Facebook Ads"). Therefore, we use Facebook Pixel with advanced data matching to display our Facebook ads only to 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 based on visited websites), which we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of Facebook Pixel with extended data synchronization, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads match the potential interest of users and do not have a harassing effect. This allows us to more accurately evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by verifying whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion"). Compared to the standard Facebook Pixel variant, the extended data matching function helps us to better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by capturing more attributed conversions.

All transmitted data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook's data use policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This data may enable Facebook and its partners to display advertisements on and off Facebook.

This processing will only be carried out if explicit consent is given in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, letter a, of the GDPR.

This consent to the use of the "Facebook pixel" can only be given by users over 13 years of age (16 years in France and Luxembourg). If you are younger, please ask your legal guardian for permission.
The information generated by Facebook is generally transmitted to a Facebook server and stored there; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, uncheck the box next to the setting for the "Facebook Pixel" in the "cookie consent tool" integrated on the website.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has adhered to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

12.7 Google Ads Conversion-Tracking

Our site uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, in this context, conversion tracking from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 ESW5, Ireland ("Google+"). We use Google Ads' offering, particularly its ad placement techniques ("Google Ads") on third-party websites to draw attention to our offers. The collected data allows us to determine the success of our various advertising campaigns. We are committed to showing you only ads that may be of interest to you, making our website more attractive to you, and ensuring a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The conversion tracking cookie is activated as soon as a user clicks on a Google Ads ad displayed by Google. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer system. These cookies generally expire after 30 days and are not used for user identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, we (as well as Google) will be able to determine that they clicked on the ad and were then redirected to the corresponding website. The cookies are different for each Google Ads client and therefore cannot be traced by the websites of other Google Ads clients. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords clients who have opted for conversion tracking. These clients thus get the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were then redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that allows precise identification of users. The use of Google Ads may also result in the transmission of personal data to Google LLC. servers in the USA.

If there are statutory retention periods for data that are processed within the scope of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, these data will be routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided that they are no longer necessary for the fulfilment of a contract or the initiation of a contract and/or there is no longer a justified interest on our part in continuing to store them.

When we process personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, these data are retained until the data subject exercises their right to object in accordance with Article 21(1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

When processing personal data for direct marketing purposes on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, these data are retained until the data subject exercises their right to object in accordance with Article 21(2) GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this declaration on specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
