8) Online Marketing
8.1 Facebook pixel for creating custom audiences with advanced data matching (with cookie consent tool)
Within our online offer, the so-called "Facebook pixel" of the social network Facebook is used in the mode of extended data comparison, which is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").
On the basis of their express consent, if a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook, the URL of our linked page will be appended by Facebook Pixel. After forwarding, this URL parameter is then written to the user's browser via cookie, which our linked page sets itself. In addition, specific customer data such as the e-mail address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook ad for transactions such as purchases, account logins or registrations, is recorded by this cookie (extended data comparison). The cookie is then read by the Facebook pixel and enables the data, including specific customer data, to be forwarded to Facebook.
With the help of the Facebook pixel with extended data comparison, Facebook is able to precisely determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Facebook Ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel with extended data synchronization in order to only display the Facebook ads we have placed to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products, which are determined based on the websites visited), which we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel with extended data comparison, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the user and are not annoying. This allows us to further evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by understanding whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion"). Compared to the standard version of Facebook Pixel, the advanced data matching feature 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 a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook data usage guidelines ( https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ ). The data can enable Facebook and its partners to place advertisements on and outside of Facebook.
These processing operations only take place if you have given your express consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
The information generated by Facebook is usually transmitted to a Facebook server and stored there. This can also result in transmission to the servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. 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.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an Ads 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, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. This means that cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers.

In order to address users whose data we have received in the context of business or business-like relationships in an even more interest-based advertising manner, we use a customer comparison function as part of Google Ads. To do this, we electronically transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (mainly email addresses and telephone numbers) to Google. Google does not have access to clear data here, 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 subject has set up. This enables personalized advertising to be played out via all Google services linked to the respective Google account.
Customer data is only transmitted to Google if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.

tik tok pixels
This website uses the "TikTok Pixel", a tracking technology of the "TikTok" social network from TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland ("TikTok").
With the help of cookies (small text files that are stored on the end device used), information about surfing behavior on our website is collected in pseudonymised form, transmitted to TikTok, stored there and evaluated in order to then enable the display of interest-based and personalized product recommendations on TikTok. The object of the information collected and processed in pseudonymised form is basically the device ID, the device type, time stamp, the operating system used and the IP address. The information can be assigned to the person of the user with the help of further information that TikTok has stored about the user, for example due to the ownership of an account on the social network "TikTok". TikTok can also combine the information collected via the pixel with other information that TikTok has collected via other websites and/or in connection with the use of the "TikTok" social network, and thus create pseudonymised usage profiles. Under no circumstances can the information collected be used to personally identify visitors to this website.
The TikTok Pixel also allows us to understand the effectiveness of advertisements on TikTok. If the user is redirected from an ad on TikTok to pages of this website and the cookies have not yet expired, the pixel records certain user actions predefined by us and can track them (e.g. completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, product page views). When such an action is carried out, your browser sends an HTTP request to the TikTok server via the TikTok pixel from the cookie, with which certain information about the action is transmitted. Through this transmission, TikTok can create statistics about the usage behavior on our website after forwarding a TikTok ad, which we use to optimize our offer.
All of the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
