§ 4 Additional functions and services of our website

For this purpose you usually have to provide further personal data, which we use to deliver the respective service and for which the previously mentioned basic principles regarding data processing are valid.

§ 7 Deployment of Google Adwords Conversion

(1) We use the service of Google Adwords, in order to draw attention to our attractive services with the aid of advertising material (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. We can determine, in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, how successful the individual promotional activities have been. This enables us to show you ads that are of interest to you and to design our website in a more interesting fashion for you and to help us assess a fair calculation of advertising costs.

(2) These advertising materials are delivered through Google by means of so-called “Ad Servers”. We use Ad Server Cookies for this purpose, through which certain parameters for determining success can be measured such as the display of adverts or users’ clicks. If you end up at our website through a Google ad, a Cookie is stored in your PC by Google Adwords. As a rule, these Cookies lose their validity after 30 days and shall not serve to identify you personally. Typical Analysis values stored in this Cookie are: the Unique Cookie-ID, quantity of Ad Impressions per placement (frequency), the last impression (relevant for Post-View-Conversions), as well as opt-out information (a marking to show that the user no longer wishes to be approached).

(3) These Cookies enable Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages on the website of an Adwords customer and the Cookie saved on his computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and was redirected to this site. A different Cookie is allocated to each Adword customer. Cookies can thusnot be tracked through the websites of Adwords customers. We ourselves do not collect andprocess personal data through the mentioned promotional activities. Google only makes statistical evaluations available to us. On the basis of these evaluations, we are able to recognize which of the deployed promotional activities have been particularly effective. We receive no further data from the deployment of promotional material – in particular, we are not able to identify the user on the basis of this information.

(4) Because of the deployed marketing tools, your browser automatically sets up a direct link with Google’s server. We have no influence over the scope and further usage of the data that have been collected through deployment of this tool by Google, and we therefore inform you respectively as regards our state of awareness: Through the linking of AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have opened the corresponding part of our internet site, or have clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered under a Google service, Google can allocate the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, the possibility exists that the provider takes note of and stores your IP address.

(5) You can prevent participation in this tracking procedure in different ways: a) by means of a respective setting in your browser software; particularly the suppression of third-party Cookies results in you no longer receiving ads from third-party providers; b) by deactivating the Cookies for Conversion Tracking, in that you set your browser in such a manner that Cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” are blocked, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, whereby these settings will be deleted when you delete your Cookies; c) by deactivating the interest-referenced ads of the providers that are a part of the self-regulating campaign “AboutAds”, through the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your Cookies; d) through long-term deactivation in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome at the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to inform you that in this case you might not be able to use all functions of this offering to the full extent.

(6) Legal basis for the processing of your data is Article 6 Paragraph 1 page 1 lit. f of the GDPR. Further information regarding Google data protection can be found at:
