You can give us your consent to send you newsletters. Through our newsletters we inform you about news concerning our company, seasonal offers, our products, promotions, contests, etc..

You can also cancel the newsletter subscription at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link provided in each newsletter/mailing. If you revoke your consent, your personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions, unless otherwise stipulated by law.

Double-Opt-In and Logging

Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in process. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail in which you are asked to confirm your registration. The registrations to the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time, as well as the IP address.

Statistical collection and analyses

When you call up the newsletter, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of the call-up are initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times. Statistical surveys also include determining whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. This information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients for technical reasons. However, it is not our intention to observe individual users. The analyses are more used to identify the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

Newsletter Tracking

Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels (web bugs), which allow us to recognize if and when an email was opened and which links in the email were followed by the personalized recipient. We store this data so that we can optimally tailor our newsletters to the wishes and interests of our subscribers. Accordingly, the data thus collected is used to send personalized newsletters to the respective recipient.

The data processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. With the revocation of the consent to receive the newsletter, the consent to tracking is also revoked.

5. Google-Tools

• Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses the online advertising program “Google AdWords” and as part of it the “Google Ads Conversion”. Google AdWords sets a cookie on your computer if you have landed on our website via a Google ad. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to identify you personally. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this website. For this cookie, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values. A different cookie is assigned to each Google AdWords customer. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked via the website of AdWords customers. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can see which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising tools; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information. Due to the marketing tool used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google’s server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of Google Ads Conversion, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that Google will find out and store your IP address.

Users who do not wish to participate in the tracking can easily deactivate the Google conversion tracking cookie via their internet browser under the user settings. These users will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of “conversion cookies” is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO. If you would like to find out more about Google’s privacy policy and terms of use, you can find more information at the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

• Google Analytics Remarketing

This website uses the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one end device (e.g. cell phone) can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g. tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history with your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every end device on which you log in with your Google account.

To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of users that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device ad targeting.

You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google account; follow this link: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922

The aggregation of the collected data in your Google account is based solely on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO), which you give to Google. You can revoke this consent at any time without giving reasons with effect for the future. In the case of data collection processes that are not merged in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data by us is also based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) that you have given us. You can revoke this consent at any time without giving reasons with effect for the future.

• Google Signals

We would like to inform you that we have activated Google Signals in Google Analytics. This gives us greater insight into the statistics of our website. This particularly applies to visitors to our website. If you have agreed to personalized advertising in your Google account, your visitor data from our website will be collected in Google Analytics and linked to the Google information from your Google account.

Existing Google Analytics functionality will be updated (target groups can be created and shared with linked advertising accounts to place advertisements in cross-device remarketing campaigns, advertising reporting will be expanded, interest and demographic information will be collected, and cross-platform reporting will be possible) to receive aggregated and anonymized data.

Your data can be analysed across devices (cross device tracking). By activating Google Signals, data is collected and linked to your Google account. Multiple website visits by a single visitor can therefore be attributed exclusively to that visitor, even if the visitor interacts with the website using different devices (e.g., smartphone and notebook). This helps us launching cross-device remarketing campaigns and show you our products on other websites. Cross-device reports only contain aggregated data. Individual user data is not disclosed.

By activating Google Signals, further visitor data is collected on our website (e.g., device combinations used, purchasing process analysed on different devices, cross-device marketing services recorded). This gives us better advertising reports from Google.

Information about your interests and demographic characteristics (gender, age) is also collected. This makes it possible to define target groups in Google Analytics and we have the opportunity to adapt our products to the target groups.

You can manage and delete this data in your Google account. Data from Google Signals is stored in our Google Analytics account for a maximum of 14 months. By default, logged in Google user data expires after 26 months.

Further information about Google Signals can be found here: https://support.google.com/analytics
