Unfortunately, these subjects sound rather technical due to their nature, but we have put much effort into describing the most important things as simply and clearly as possible.

Cookies
In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device and that store certain information for exchange with our system.

Types of Cookies
First Party Cookies – Necessary Cookies
These are generated by our website and are necessary for the error-free operation of the application. These cookies are also called session cookies or transient and are automatically deleted after the browser session has ended, i.e. after the browser is closed. Error-free operation of the website cannot be guaranteed without these cookies.

Legal basis
The legal basis for processing this data is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 lit.

Third party cookies
These are set by various services (e.g. analysis services or Facebook) and save a unique identifier that will recognize your device the next time you visit (persistent cookies).

These cookies remain on your device for a specified period. This duration is variable.

Legal basis
The legal basis for processing this data is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 lit.

Disable cookies
Please note that certain cookies are already set as soon as you enter our website.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and individually decide whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases, in particular cookies from third parties (third party cookies) or in general.

Note: If you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be restricted for you.

Pixelmate
In order to be able to use the services we use optimally and to respect your decision in accordance with the legal requirements, we use GDPR Pixelmate, developed by Christian Wedel (https://wp-dsgvo-plugin.com) and Sabrina Keese-Haufs (https : //lawlikes.de/).

When you visit our website, you can use Pixelmate to control which of the services we use you want to agree to. Your decision will be saved separately for each service we use. You can change this setting at any time by using the “cookies” link on the bottom left of the website. Pixelmate does not store any personal data.

Facebook Pixel and Facebook Custom Audiences
Our website uses Facebook conversion tracking, the so-called “Facebook pixel” of the social network Facebook, for the purpose of analyzing and optimizing our website.
The provider of these services is Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA.
If you are based in the EU, the provider of the services is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter “Facebook”).

By using the Facebook pixel, Facebook is on the one hand able to identify and determine the visitors to our website as a potential target group for the presentation of advertisements (so-called “Facebook ads”). So we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads we have placed only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our website or who have certain characteristics (interests that are determined on the basis of visited websites, etc.). We transmit this information to Facebook and thereby create so-called “Custom Audiences”.

By using the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of visitors and are not perceived as nuisance. By using the Facebook pixel, we can track the effectiveness of the Facebook ads statistically and for the purpose of market research. We analyze whether visitors are redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad, i.e. whether a so-called “conversion” is taking place.

General information on processing the data by Facebook can be found here https://www.facebook.com/policy.php

Further information and details about the Facebook pixel can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616

Facebook is under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield as well as the SWISS-U.S. Privacy Shield certified and thus offers a guarantee to comply with the European level of data protection. (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participantid=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

You can object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and the use of your data to display Facebook ads. To set which types of advertisements are shown to you within Facebook, you can call up the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there on the settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are adopted for all devices such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

Legal basis
for this processing of the data is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
