Tracking tools

Google Analytics and IntelliAd
For the demand-oriented design of our website, we create pseudonymous user profiles with the help of Google Analytics and IntelliAd. We will explain how both tools work using Google Analytics as an example. Google Analytics uses cookies that can be stored on your device and read by us, this way we are able to recognize and count returning visitors. Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR and Art. 15 sec. 3 TMG and in the interest of finding out how often our websites have been accessed by different users.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually trans-ferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, because we have activated IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA (an appropriate level of data pro-tection is available according to Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR through Google's participation in the Privacy Shield) and only shortened there. We have concluded a contract with Google Inc. (USA) for order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Google may therefore only use all information strictly for the purpose of evaluating the use of our website for us and compiling reports on website activities.

You can object to the processing at any time. Please use one of the following options:
1. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
2. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookies that is related to your use of the website (including your IP address), and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).
3. You can additionally prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie is set that will permanently prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website: Click here to opt-out of the processing of your data by Google Analytics.

Retargeting
We use retargeting technologies from Adobe Media Optimizer AMO in conjunction with Google, Facebook, and Bing to offer you advertising on other websites that is tailored to your interests.

Retargeting Technologies
Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The functionali-ty of these tools is explained using Google as an example and applies accordingly to all retargeting technologies.
When you visit our website, recognition features of your browser or terminal device is retrieved, your IP address is evaluated or a recognition feature is stored as a small text file (e.g. so-called third party cookie) on your device. Your usage behaviour is recorded when you visit various websites. The characteristics are designed pseudonymously. If you are logged in with your Google account, these features can be assigned directly to your profile.
Google may link and store your visits to our websites with your characteristics in order to display targeted advertising on other websites. This way Google can also determine your previous visits to our website. Your device and browser are recognized by Google, when you visit a page that displays ads on Google's behalf.
Below you will find more information about the conversion tools.
Google Conversion Tool: This website also uses Google Conversion tool for pseudony-mous internal analysis of the effectiveness of ads placed. If you access our website from another website by clicking on one of our advertisements (text ads, banners) placed there, a cookie will be stored in your browser program by an advertising banner there. If the banner is an advertising campaign commissioned by Google, Google will set a corresponding cookie when the banner is clicked. Neither we nor our conversion part-ner can see other websites that you have visited. We do not collect or receive any in-formation that personally identifies you. The information collected through conversion tracking is used solely to compile statistics on the success and in the use of our cam-paigns. These cookies expire after 30 days. The legal basis for the usage of cookie tech-nology is Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR. If you do not wish to participate in this analysis, you can deactivate the setting of cookies via browser settings or by going here: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?C=1#!/
The information that you as an anonymous page visitor access our website via a Pica-nova advertising banner is read from your cookie and processed anonymously by us and our respective conversion partner (e.g. Google). Personal data about you will not be passed on.
Bing Conversion Tool: This website also uses the Bing Conversion Tracking analysis service of Microsoft Corporation (One Microsoft Way Redmond, WA 98052-6399) to measure the success of other switched advertising measures. Microsoft sets a cookie on your computer when you access our website via a Pivanova ad from the Microsoft ad-vertising network. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal iden-tification. Using Bing Conversion Tracking, we and Microsoft can see that someone clicked on our ad within the Microsoft advertising network and was directed to our site. However, we cannot see which other websites you visited. The information collected with Bing Conversion Tracking is used solely to compile statistics on the success and use of our advertising campaigns. However, we do not collect or receive any information that personally identifies users. The legal basis for this use of cookie technology is Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR.
If you do not wish to participate in Bing Conversion Tracking, you can also reject the setting of the cookie required for this - for example, by using a browser option that gen-erally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. To do so, simply click on the follow-ing link here: https://advertise.bingads.microsoft.com/de-de/ressourcen/richtlinien/optout-optimization and confirm your objection on pages to be reached via this link. Further information and setting options for advertising measures by Microsoft can be found here: https://advertise.bingads.microsoft.com/de-de/ressourcen/richtlinien/richtlinien-zur-datensicherheit-und-datnschutzerklaerung
The information that you, as an anonymous page visitor, access our website via our ad-vertising banner is read from your cookie and processed anonymously by us and Mi-crosoft. However, personal data about you will not be passed on.

Remarketing
We may include keywords on our websites that contains statements about the content of the website, such as products offered. We use Google Tag Manager, Visual Website Optimizer (VWO) and Adobe Media Optimizer (AMO), Google Adwords. The following example of Google explains how it works. Google receives these keywords which con-tain neither personal nor sensitive information. When you visit a page with specific product keywords, Google stores and assigns them to your pseudonyms. This link ena-bles Google to determine whether or not any of our advertisements is shown to you.
Google Display Advertising Network: We also use Google remarketing technologies on our websites. Cookies are used by us to recognize your computer on other websites that participate in the Google Display Network from the logged data (visit to our website in-cluding date and time, preferably used language, browser type, operating system) and to present you advertisements tailored to your presumed interests. The legal basis for this use of cookie technology is Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR. You can view, remove or add the categories by which this technology displays interest-based advertising to you across the Google Display advertising network from Google's Ads Preferences Manager. This tool also allows you to opt-out of the use of cookies for interest-based advertising on the Google Display Network by downloading and installing the browser plugin to disable the ad serving cookie. For more information about personalized ad serving via Google, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
As soon as you use the same browser program to visit other websites on the Internet whose operators have integrated advertising spaces of the Google Display advertising network, the information from the cookie is automatically read out by this website op-erator and displayed in the advertising banner for displaying presumably interesting con-tents for you. This information is not stored by the other site operators beyond this tem-porary anonymous evaluation.
Facebook Conversion Technology: We use the "Facebook Remarketing" service on our website. The Facebook remarketing technology allows users who have visited our web-site to be addressed again through targeted advertising on Facebook websites. However, we do not collect or receive information about which Facebook users actually receive targeted advertising. We are not able to identify individual users here either. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR. To do so, simply click on the fol-lowing link https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/ and confirm your objection on the page to be reached via this link.
For more information about the purposes and scope of Facebook's collection and pro-cessing of your personal data, as well as the setting options to protect your privacy on Facebook, please see the Facebook Data Policy. You can opt-out through the Digital Advertising Alliance in the United States, the Digital Advertising Alliance in Canada, the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance in Europe, or your device settings so that you do not see interest based online ads from Facebook and other participating companies.
The Facebook Conversion Pixel lets Facebook and us know that someone clicked on our Facebook ad and was directed to our page. The information generated by the cook-ie and/or the graphics about your use of this website is transferred to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. Facebook uses the information obtained this way to evalu-ate your usage behaviour with respect to Facebook ads. Facebook may also transfer this information to third parties when required to do so by law, or when such third parties process the information on Facebook's behalf. Facebook does not associate your IP ad-dress with other data stored by Facebook.
Cross Device Remarketing
Google can technically link the pseudonymous features of e.g. your end devices such as tablet, smartphone and email inbox (cross device marketing). It is a prerequisite that you have agreed to this data processing with Google in the past. This enables Google to carry out targeted advertising campaigns on different end devices. We use this to evalu-ate our marketing strategies. The legal basis is Art 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Your data will be transmitted to Google and stored in the USA. According to Art. 45 pa-ra. 1 GDPR, Google's participation in the Privacy Shield provides an adequate level of data protection. We have worked with Google Inc. (USA) and concluded a contract for order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Google may therefore only use all the information strictly for the purpose of evaluating the use of our website for us and compiling reports on website activities.
You can object to this according to Art. 21 GDPR at any time. Please click on the fol-lowing link: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996?hl=en

Marketing tools
To customize our website, we use Visual Website Optimizer VWO, Adobe Media Optimizer AMO and Google Tag Manager, Google Attribution.
Google Tag Manager manages tags (code elements on the site) that measure traffic, visi-tor’s behaviour, and the impact of online advertising and social channels. It also uses re-marketing and targeting processes, in addition to testing and optimizing the website.
Google Attribution offers us the possibility to evaluate the data of Google Analytics and Google Adwords bundled in one tool.
For further information see point 3ff.

Social Media Plugins

For data protection reasons, we do not integrate social plug-ins directly into our website. When you visit our pages, no data is transmitted to social media services such as Face-book, Instagram, Twitter, XING or Google+. Profiling by third parties is thus, excluded. The integration of pages only serves the purpose of forwarding to our accounts.

You can still share selected pages with one click on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or Google+ buttons and also see how often they have been shared in the past.

In case of EU countries, the EU Commission has decided on an appropriate level of data protection in accordance with Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR.

Tracking tools

Google Analytics and IntelliAd
For the demand-oriented design of our website, we create pseudonymous user profiles with the help of Google Analytics and IntelliAd. We will explain how both tools work using Google Analytics as an example. Google Analytics uses cookies that can be stored on your device and read by us, this way we are able to recognize and count returning visitors. Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR and Art. 15 sec. 3 TMG and in the interest of finding out how often our websites have been accessed by different users.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually trans-ferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, because we have activated IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA (an appropriate level of data pro-tection is available according to Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR through Google's participation in the Privacy Shield) and only shortened there. We have concluded a contract with Google Inc. (USA) for order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Google may therefore only use all information strictly for the purpose of evaluating the use of our website for us and compiling reports on website activities.

You can object to the processing at any time. Please use one of the following options:
1. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
2. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookies that is related to your use of the website (including your IP address), and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).
3. You can additionally prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie is set that will permanently prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website: Click here to opt-out of the processing of your data by Google Analytics.

Retargeting
We use retargeting technologies from Adobe Media Optimizer AMO in conjunction with Google, Facebook, and Bing to offer you advertising on other websites that is tailored to your interests.

Retargeting Technologies
Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The functionali-ty of these tools is explained using Google as an example and applies accordingly to all retargeting technologies.
When you visit our website, recognition features of your browser or terminal device is retrieved, your IP address is evaluated or a recognition feature is stored as a small text file (e.g. so-called third party cookie) on your device. Your usage behaviour is recorded when you visit various websites. The characteristics are designed pseudonymously. If you are logged in with your Google account, these features can be assigned directly to your profile.
Google may link and store your visits to our websites with your characteristics in order to display targeted advertising on other websites. This way Google can also determine your previous visits to our website. Your device and browser are recognized by Google, when you visit a page that displays ads on Google's behalf.
Below you will find more information about the conversion tools.
Google Conversion Tool: This website also uses Google Conversion tool for pseudony-mous internal analysis of the effectiveness of ads placed. If you access our website from another website by clicking on one of our advertisements (text ads, banners) placed there, a cookie will be stored in your browser program by an advertising banner there. If the banner is an advertising campaign commissioned by Google, Google will set a corresponding cookie when the banner is clicked. Neither we nor our conversion part-ner can see other websites that you have visited. We do not collect or receive any in-formation that personally identifies you. The information collected through conversion tracking is used solely to compile statistics on the success and in the use of our cam-paigns. These cookies expire after 30 days. The legal basis for the usage of cookie tech-nology is Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR. If you do not wish to participate in this analysis, you can deactivate the setting of cookies via browser settings or by going here: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?C=1#!/
The information that you as an anonymous page visitor access our website via a Pica-nova advertising banner is read from your cookie and processed anonymously by us and our respective conversion partner (e.g. Google). Personal data about you will not be passed on.
Bing Conversion Tool: This website also uses the Bing Conversion Tracking analysis service of Microsoft Corporation (One Microsoft Way Redmond, WA 98052-6399) to measure the success of other switched advertising measures. Microsoft sets a cookie on your computer when you access our website via a Pivanova ad from the Microsoft ad-vertising network. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal iden-tification. Using Bing Conversion Tracking, we and Microsoft can see that someone clicked on our ad within the Microsoft advertising network and was directed to our site. However, we cannot see which other websites you visited. The information collected with Bing Conversion Tracking is used solely to compile statistics on the success and use of our advertising campaigns. However, we do not collect or receive any information that personally identifies users. The legal basis for this use of cookie technology is Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR.
If you do not wish to participate in Bing Conversion Tracking, you can also reject the setting of the cookie required for this - for example, by using a browser option that gen-erally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. To do so, simply click on the follow-ing link here: https://advertise.bingads.microsoft.com/de-de/ressourcen/richtlinien/optout-optimization and confirm your objection on pages to be reached via this link. Further information and setting options for advertising measures by Microsoft can be found here: https://advertise.bingads.microsoft.com/de-de/ressourcen/richtlinien/richtlinien-zur-datensicherheit-und-datnschutzerklaerung
The information that you, as an anonymous page visitor, access our website via our ad-vertising banner is read from your cookie and processed anonymously by us and Mi-crosoft. However, personal data about you will not be passed on.

Remarketing
We may include keywords on our websites that contains statements about the content of the website, such as products offered. We use Google Tag Manager, Visual Website Optimizer (VWO) and Adobe Media Optimizer (AMO), Google Adwords. The following example of Google explains how it works. Google receives these keywords which con-tain neither personal nor sensitive information. When you visit a page with specific product keywords, Google stores and assigns them to your pseudonyms. This link ena-bles Google to determine whether or not any of our advertisements is shown to you.
Google Display Advertising Network: We also use Google remarketing technologies on our websites. Cookies are used by us to recognize your computer on other websites that participate in the Google Display Network from the logged data (visit to our website in-cluding date and time, preferably used language, browser type, operating system) and to present you advertisements tailored to your presumed interests. The legal basis for this use of cookie technology is Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR. You can view, remove or add the categories by which this technology displays interest-based advertising to you across the Google Display advertising network from Google's Ads Preferences Manager. This tool also allows you to opt-out of the use of cookies for interest-based advertising on the Google Display Network by downloading and installing the browser plugin to disable the ad serving cookie. For more information about personalized ad serving via Google, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
As soon as you use the same browser program to visit other websites on the Internet whose operators have integrated advertising spaces of the Google Display advertising network, the information from the cookie is automatically read out by this website op-erator and displayed in the advertising banner for displaying presumably interesting con-tents for you. This information is not stored by the other site operators beyond this tem-porary anonymous evaluation.
Facebook Conversion Technology: We use the "Facebook Remarketing" service on our website. The Facebook remarketing technology allows users who have visited our web-site to be addressed again through targeted advertising on Facebook websites. However, we do not collect or receive information about which Facebook users actually receive targeted advertising. We are not able to identify individual users here either. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR. To do so, simply click on the fol-lowing link https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/ and confirm your objection on the page to be reached via this link.
For more information about the purposes and scope of Facebook's collection and pro-cessing of your personal data, as well as the setting options to protect your privacy on Facebook, please see the Facebook Data Policy. You can opt-out through the Digital Advertising Alliance in the United States, the Digital Advertising Alliance in Canada, the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance in Europe, or your device settings so that you do not see interest based online ads from Facebook and other participating companies.
The Facebook Conversion Pixel lets Facebook and us know that someone clicked on our Facebook ad and was directed to our page. The information generated by the cook-ie and/or the graphics about your use of this website is transferred to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. Facebook uses the information obtained this way to evalu-ate your usage behaviour with respect to Facebook ads. Facebook may also transfer this information to third parties when required to do so by law, or when such third parties process the information on Facebook's behalf. Facebook does not associate your IP ad-dress with other data stored by Facebook.
Cross Device Remarketing
Google can technically link the pseudonymous features of e.g. your end devices such as tablet, smartphone and email inbox (cross device marketing). It is a prerequisite that you have agreed to this data processing with Google in the past. This enables Google to carry out targeted advertising campaigns on different end devices. We use this to evalu-ate our marketing strategies. The legal basis is Art 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Your data will be transmitted to Google and stored in the USA. According to Art. 45 pa-ra. 1 GDPR, Google's participation in the Privacy Shield provides an adequate level of data protection. We have worked with Google Inc. (USA) and concluded a contract for order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Google may therefore only use all the information strictly for the purpose of evaluating the use of our website for us and compiling reports on website activities.
You can object to this according to Art. 21 GDPR at any time. Please click on the fol-lowing link: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996?hl=en

Marketing tools
To customize our website, we use Visual Website Optimizer VWO, Adobe Media Optimizer AMO and Google Tag Manager, Google Attribution.
Google Tag Manager manages tags (code elements on the site) that measure traffic, visi-tor’s behaviour, and the impact of online advertising and social channels. It also uses re-marketing and targeting processes, in addition to testing and optimizing the website.
Google Attribution offers us the possibility to evaluate the data of Google Analytics and Google Adwords bundled in one tool.
For further information see point 3ff.

Social Media Plugins

For data protection reasons, we do not integrate social plug-ins directly into our website. When you visit our pages, no data is transmitted to social media services such as Face-book, Instagram, Twitter, XING or Google+. Profiling by third parties is thus, excluded. The integration of pages only serves the purpose of forwarding to our accounts.

You can still share selected pages with one click on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or Google+ buttons and also see how often they have been shared in the past.
