8) Online marketing
8.1 Facebook Pixel for the creation of Custom Audiences with advanced data matching (with Cookie Consent Tool)
Within our online offer, the so-called “Facebook pixel” of the social network Facebook is used in the mode of extended data matching, which is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”).
On the basis of his explicit consent, when a user clicks on an advertisement played on Facebook and placed by us, an addition is added to the URL of our linked page by Facebook Pixel. Then, after redirection, this URL parameter is inscribed in the user’s browser by means of a cookie, which is set by our linked site itself. In addition, this cookie collects specific customer data, such as the mail address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook ad during processes such as purchase transactions, account logins or registrations (extended data matching). The cookie is then read by Facebook Pixel and enables the data, including the specific customer data, to be forwarded to Facebook.
With the help of the Facebook pixel with advanced data matching, it is possible for Facebook, on the one hand, to precisely determine the visitors to our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “Facebook ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel with advanced data matching to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited), which we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel with advanced data matching, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of users and do not have a harassing effect. This allows us to further evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion”). Compared to the standard variant of Facebook Pixel, the advanced data matching feature helps us better measure the effectiveness of our ad campaigns by capturing more attributed conversions.
All transmitted data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook data usage policy
These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon the granting of explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
The information generated by Facebook is usually transmitted to a Facebook server and stored there; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Meta Platforms Inc. come in the USA. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (primarily mail addresses and telephone numbers) electronically to Google. Google does not gain access to clear data here, but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to associate it with existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables personalized advertising to be played across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.
The transmission of customer data to Google will only take place if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO have given.

With the help of cookies (small text files that are stored on the end device used), information about the surfing behavior on our website is collected in pseudonymized form, transmitted to TikTok, stored there and analyzed in order to then enable the playout of interest-based and personalized product recommendations on TikTok. The object of the information collected and processed pseudonymously in this way is basically the device ID, the device type, time stamp, the operating system used and the IP address. The information can be assigned to the person of the user with the aid of further information that TikTok has stored about the user, e.g. due to the ownership of an account on the social network “TikTok”. TikTok may also combine the information collected via the pixel with other information that TikTok has collected via other websites and / or in connection with the use of the social network “TikTok”, and thus create pseudonymized usage profiles. In no case can the information collected be used to personally identify visitors to this website.
The TikTok Pixel further enables us to track the effectiveness of advertisements on TikTok. If the user is redirected from an ad on TikTok to pages on this website and the cookies have not yet expired, the pixel records certain user actions predefined by us and can track them (e.g. completed transactions, leads, searches on the website, calls to product pages). When performing such an action, your browser sends an HTTP request from the cookie to the TikTok server via the TikTok pixel, with which certain information about the action is transmitted. This transmission allows TikTok to compile statistics about usage behavior on our website after redirection from a TikTok ad, which we use to optimize our offer.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for the reading of information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO have given your express consent to this.

If you have reached our website from a tweet or an advertisement on Twitter, we set a cookie on your computer that interacts with a likewise implemented “tag” in the form of a JavaScript code from Twitter. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your terminal device. If the user is redirected from Twitter to pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, the tag records certain user actions predefined by us and can track them (e.g. completed transactions, leads, searches on the website, calls to product pages). When such an action is performed, your browser sends an HTTP request to the Pinterest server via the “tag” from the cookie, which transmits certain information about the action (including the type of action, time, browser type of the end device).
Through this transmission, Twitter can create statistics about the usage behavior on our website after forwarding, which serve us to optimize our offer.
However, we do not receive any information that personally identifies users.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for the reading of information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO have given your express consent to this.
