6) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

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 placed on every 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 collected information to Microsoft. The purpose of this is that certain predefined goals, such as purchases or leads, can be statistically recorded and evaluated to make the alignment and content of our offers more relevant to interests. The tags never serve to personally identify users.

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 explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without this consent, the use of retargeting technology will not take place during your visit to the site.

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

7) Page Functionalities

7.1 Google Sign-In

On our website we provide a single sign-on function of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

In addition to the transmission of data to the above-mentioned provider location, data may also be transmitted to Google LLC, USA

If you have an account with the provider, you can use this account data to create a user account or to register on our website.

When you visit this site, a direct connection can be established between your browser and the provider's servers via this login function, even if you do not have an account with the provider or are not logged into one. The provider then receives the information that you have visited our site. The information collected in this way (possibly including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of the provider and stored there. However, the information is not used to identify you personally and is not passed on to third parties.

These data processing operations are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a user-friendly and interactive design of our online presence.

If you click the login button to register with the provider on our website using your account data, the provider will transmit the general and publicly accessible information stored in your account (user ID, name, address, e-mail address, age and gender) to us exclusively on the basis of your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

We store and use the data transmitted by the provider to set up a user account with the necessary data (title, first name, surname, address data, country, e-mail address, date of birth), provided that you have released this data to the provider. Conversely, based on your consent, data (e.g. information about your surfing or purchasing behavior) may be transferred from us to your account with the provider.

The consent given can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

7.2 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 that already transferred to Google via the reCAPTCHA functionality is processed here.

The service checks whether an entry 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, the provider collects the IP address of the device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits this for evaluation to the provider's servers. Cookies, i.e., small text files stored in the browser of the end device, may be used here.

If the processing described above is based on cookies, these will only be set if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your granted consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

If the processing described above is carried out without the use of cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in establishing individual responsibility on the internet and preventing misuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

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

7.3 Google Photos

This website uses the image service “Google Photos” from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: “Google”) for embedding and displaying images.

Google Photos itself does not store or read any information on user devices. Nor does the service perform any independent data analyses.

However, when image files are loaded from the Google network, your IP address is transmitted to Google and may be stored there. A transmission to servers of Google LLC in the USA is also possible.

This processing 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, image files will not be loaded via Google Photos.

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

8) Tools and Miscellaneous

Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called “Cookie Consent Tool” to obtain effective user consents for cookies requiring consent and cookie-based applications. The “Cookie Consent Tool” is displayed to users as an interactive user interface when they visit the page, allowing them to grant consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking a box. Through the use of this tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding consents by checking a box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's respective device if consent has been granted.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed here.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

A further legal basis for processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As controllers, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary 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 website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information on the operator and the setting options of the Cookie Consent Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

If statutory retention periods exist for data processed within the scope of legal or quasi-legal obligations based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, these data are routinely deleted after the retention periods expire, provided they are no longer required for contract fulfillment or initiation and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in further storage.

When processing personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, these data are stored until you exercise your right to object under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
