We use the Meta Pixel from Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland; "Meta") on our website.

The basis for this is an agreement between us and Meta on the joint processing of personal data, in which the respective responsibilities are defined. The agreement can be viewed at https://de-de.facebook.com/legal/terms/businesstools.
According to this, we are particularly responsible for fulfilling the information obligations pursuant to Art. 13, 14 GDPR, for complying with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR with regard to the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service, and for complying with the obligations under Art. 33, 34 GDPR, insofar as a personal data breach affects our obligations under the joint processing agreement.
Meta is responsible for enabling the rights of data subjects pursuant to Art. 15 - 20 GDPR, for complying with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR with regard to the security of the service, and for complying with the obligations under Art. 33, 34 GDPR insofar as a personal data breach affects Meta’s obligations under the joint processing agreement.
The application serves the purpose of addressing website visitors with interest-based advertising on the social networks Facebook and Instagram. For this purpose, the Meta remarketing tag has been implemented on the website. This tag establishes a direct connection to the Meta servers when the website is visited. This tells the Meta server which of our pages you have visited. Meta assigns this information to your personal Facebook and/or Instagram user account. When you visit the social networks Facebook or Instagram, you will then be shown personalized, interest-based ads.

Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking

We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on our website and, within this framework, conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; "Google").
When you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed on your computer. These cookies have limited validity, do not contain personal data, and therefore do not serve personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, there is no possibility that cookies can be tracked across the websites of Ads customers.
The information obtained using the conversion cookie serves the purpose of creating conversion statistics. In doing so, we learn the total number of users who clicked on one of our advertisements and were redirected to a page provided with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.
We use the enhanced implementation of consent mode (Advanced Consent Mode). Even if consent is not granted, user data is transmitted to Google in the form of "pings". These pings may contain, among other things, the following information: IP address for deriving the IP country (the IP address is not logged), date and time of the page visit, URL of the pages visited, user agent, referrer URL (website from which our website was accessed), or information about the triggering of website events such as a conversion.

Your data may be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF).

The processing of your personal data is carried out on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

Use of the Remarketing or "Similar Audiences" Function of Google Inc.

We use the remarketing or "Similar Audiences" function of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; "Google") on our website.

If you subsequently visit another website in the Google Display Network, advertisements will be displayed to you that are highly likely to take into account previously accessed product and information areas.
Your data may be transmitted to servers of Google LLC in the USA. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Google has certified itself under the TADPF and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection principles.
The use of cookies or comparable technologies is based on your consent pursuant to Section 25 (1) sentence 1 TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

The information generated by cookies and tracking pixels about the use of this website (including the IP address) and delivery of advertising formats is transmitted to an ADCELL server and stored there. Among other things, ADCELL can recognize that the partner link on this website was clicked.
