Facebook

The Facebook pixel is a service provided by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. This enables us to determine target groups for advertisements on Facebook, so-called "Facebook Ads", based on website visits and surfing behavior there. We also use this pixel to measure the effectiveness of online marketing measures. This enables us to track the actions of users after they have seen and/or clicked on a Facebook ad and then placed an order. When the website is called up, the pixel is integrated directly by Facebook and can save a cookie on your end device. If you subsequently log in to Facebook or are already logged in to Facebook, your visit to the website will be noted in your profile. The user data collected is anonymous to us and therefore does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the user's identity. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that it is possible to draw conclusions about the respective user profile. Data processing by Facebook takes place in accordance with Facebook's data usage guidelines. If you are not a member of Facebook, you are not affected by this data processing.

SOCIAL MEDIA PLUGINS

Use of social plugins from Facebook, Google, Pinterest

If you access a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook, Google, Twitter or Instagram servers.

By integrating the plugins, the providers receive the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile or are not currently logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of the respective provider (possibly in the USA) and stored there. If you are logged in to one of the services, the providers can directly assign the visit to our website to your profile in the respective social network. If you interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the "Like" or "Share" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server of the provider and stored there. The information is also published on the social network and displayed to your contacts there. This serves to protect our overriding legitimate interests in optimal marketing of our offer in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers as well as a contact option and your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in the data protection information of the providers.

If you do not want the social networks to directly assign the data collected via our website to your profile in the relevant service, you must log out of the relevant service before visiting our website.
