For this purpose, Google places a cookie in the browser of your device, 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 consented to Google linking your internet and app browsing history with your Google Account and using information from your Google Account to personalize ads that you view on the web.

This makes it possible to specifically target visitors to our website with personalized, interest-based advertising who have already shown an interest in our shop and our products. The advertising is displayed based on a cookie-based analysis of previous and current usage behavior, but no personal data is stored.

10.3 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

This website uses the online advertising program “Google Ads” and, as part of Google Ads, conversion tracking from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers using advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. Based on the data from the advertising campaigns, we can determine the success of individual advertising measures. This allows us to show you advertising that is of interest to you, make our website more interesting for you, and ensure 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 Ads. 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 using the conversion cookie is used to compile 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 with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

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

Details on the processing initiated by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and how Google handles 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 device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (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.

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 target users whose data we have received as part of business or business-like relationships with even more tailored 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 receive 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 displayed across 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 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 regarding the Customer Match feature can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=de&ref_topic=10550182

10.4 Google Ads conversion tracking without cookies

This website uses the online advertising program “Google Ads” and, as part of Google Ads, conversion tracking from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers using advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. Based on the data from the advertising campaigns, we can determine the success of individual advertising measures. This allows us to show you advertising that is of interest to you, make our website more interesting for you, and ensure a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.

This website uses Google Ads Conversion Tracking exclusively without the use of cookies, which means that the service never places cookies on your device.

Instead, your browser's local storage is used to store a unique ID assigned by Google, which enables an analysis of your website usage. For this purpose, certain user information is processed via the ID.

The ID is set when a user clicks on an Ads ad served by Google. If the user visits certain pages of this website, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected in this way is used to compile 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 with a conversion tracking tag.

However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. When using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to Google LLC's servers in the USA. Details on the processing initiated by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and how Google handles data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

If the information collected is personal, it will be processed in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical evaluation of the success of our advertising campaigns.

10.6 Google Marketing Platform

This website uses the online marketing tool Google Marketing Platform operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("GMP").

GMP uses cookies to display ads relevant to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. Cookie IDs also allow GMP to record conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a GMP ad and later visits the advertiser's website using the same browser and makes a purchase through that website. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain any personal information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server.

We have no influence on the extent and further use of the data collected through the use of this tool by Google and therefore inform you according to our current state of knowledge as follows: By integrating GMP, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and save your IP address. When using GMP, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
