AdServices Conversion und Remarketing
We use the remarketing and conversion tracking functions of Google Ads. These services are provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).
The remarketing function enables us to present interest-based adverts in the Google advertising network to previous visitors to our website. Conversion tracking, on the other hand, is used to measure the effectiveness of our Google Ads adverts by recording user actions such as purchases or registrations following ad clicks.
As part of these functions, various data may be collected and transmitted to Google in the USA. This includes device and browser data such as the browser type and language, the user’s (shortened) IP address and information about user interactions on our website and with our adverts. In addition, each user is assigned a pseudonymous ID by means of a cookie.
The legal basis for this data processing is the user’s consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR on the one hand and our legitimate interest in advertising and analysis in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on the other.
We have implemented various measures to ensure data protection. We have concluded a data processing contract with Google based on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. The user data collected is pseudonymised and the cookies used have a limited retention period of a maximum of 90 days. In addition, we use Enhanced Conversions, which hashes first-party data before it is transmitted to Google.
You have the option of deactivating data collection by Google Ads. To do this, you can visit the
Google Ads settings for ad personalisation and select the option “Disable ad personalisation”. This will set an opt-out cookie that will prevent your data from being collected for advertising purposes on future visits to this website. As a user, you have the right to object to data collection. You can do this by clicking on the Google Ads opt-out link or by installing the
Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
