Within our online offer, we use the "Meta Pixel" service of the following provider:
Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta").
If a user clicks on an ad placed by us on Facebook and/or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is extended by a parameter using "Meta Pixel". After redirection, this URL parameter is entered in the browser of the user via a cookie that our linked site itself sets.
On the one hand, this enables Meta to determine visitors to our online offer as a target group for the display of ads ("ads"). Accordingly, we use the service to display Facebook and/or Instagram ads placed by us only to those users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (for example interests in certain topics or products determined by the websites visited) that we transmit to Meta ("custom audiences").
On the other hand, with the "Meta Pixel" it can be tracked whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an ad and what actions they take there ("conversion tracking").
The data collected are anonymous to us and do not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of the user. However, the data are stored and processed by Meta so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes.
All 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 explicit 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 a data processing agreement with the provider which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.
The information generated by Meta is generally transferred to a Meta server and stored there. In this context, data may also be transferred to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU US Data Privacy Framework, which, on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission, ensures compliance with the European level of data protection.

10.4 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 the offering of Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising media (so called Google Ads). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. Our concern 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 advertising costs.
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 end device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained by means of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers 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 information that personally identifies users.
As part of the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
Details on the processing activities 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 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 explicit 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://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155656?hl=de
In order to address users whose data we have received in the context of business or business like relationships with even more interest based advertising, we use a customer match function within Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (primarily e-mail addresses and telephone numbers) to Google electronically. Google does not gain access to clear data but encrypts the information in the customer files automatically using a special algorithm during the transmission process. The encrypted information can then be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables the display of personalised advertising across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.
Customer data are transmitted to Google only if you have given us your explicit consent to do so 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 in relation to the customer match function can be found here:

Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps to visually present geographical information. Using this service, our location will be displayed and any journey to us will be made easier.

You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. To exercise this right, you must contact Google.
If you do not agree to the future transfer of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, you also have the option to completely disable the Google Maps web service by deactivating JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and therefore the map display on this website can then not be used.

For the visual design of the captcha window, "Google Fonts" are used by the provider. These are fonts loaded from the internet by Google. No further information beyond what is already transmitted by the functionality of reCAPTCHA is processed in this context.
The service checks whether an entry is made by a natural person or is made abusively by automated processing and blocks spam, DDoS attacks and similar automated harmful access.
