Google guarantees that the EU's data protection regulations will also be observed when processing data in the USA.

We use this feature to serve interest-based, personalized advertising on third-party websites that also participate in Google's advertising network.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our Internet presence.

To enable this advertising service, Google stores a cookie with a sequence of numbers on your terminal during your visit to our website via your Internet browser. This cookie records both your visit and the use of our website in anonymous form. However, personal data will not be passed on. If you subsequently visit the website of a third party who in turn also uses the Google advertising network, advertising may appear that refers to our website or our offers there.

To permanently disable this feature, Google provides for the most popular Internet browsers via

https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin

a browser plugin.

Likewise, the use of cookies from certain providers, e.g. via

or

can be deactivated by opt-out.

Cross-device marketing may allow Google to track your usage across multiple devices, so you may see interest-based, personalized advertising even when you switch devices. However, this requires that you have agreed to link your browsing history to your existing Google Account.

We also advertise third-party offers and services on our website. If you enter into a contract with the third party due to our advertising for these third party offers, we will receive a commission for this.

We use the so-called affilinet tracking cookie to correctly record the successful placement. However, this cookie does not store any of your personal data. Only our identification number as mediating provider and the serial number of the advertising material you clicked on (e.g. a banner or a text link) are recorded. We need this information for the purpose of payment processing and/or payment of our commissions.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by setting it in your Internet browser. You will find more detailed information on this under "Cookies" above.
