Function description
We use Google Analytics to analyse website usage. The data obtained from this is used to optimise our website and advertising measures.
The Google Signals service is also used as an extension of Google Analytics 4. With Google Signals, we can enable cross-device tracking.

As an extension of Google Analytics 4, we use the service qualified visit. We use qualified visit to analyse website usage (clicks on links, downloads, submission of contact forms etc.). A first-party cookie is set for this purpose. The data obtained from this is used to divide our website visits into categories for the purpose of better assessing how we can make our website visitors interested in our products.
The category information is transferred to Google Analytics as an additional user-defined dimension (user scope) and can then be used in a variety of ways: for reporting, exploration or as GA4 target groups etc. and also for other marketing purposes such as remarketing in Google Ads.

We use the Facebook pixel on our website. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the data collected is also transmitted to the USA and other third countries. The pixel can be used to track the behaviour of site visitors after they have clicked on a Facebook ad or visited our website and a cookie has been stored on their device with the help of the pixel. The cookie processes data about, among other things, whether you have reached our website via a Facebook ad. This allows future advertising measures to be optimised and the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical purposes. For us as the operator of this site, the data collected is anonymous, i.e. we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the 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. This may enable Facebook to serve ads on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook.

Based on these evaluations, we can identify which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective.

https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum.
It could, for example, protect data subjects' rights. Make requests for information regarding data processed by Facebook directly to Facebook. For more information about protecting your privacy, please see Facebook's privacy policy: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
We use the remarketing function "Custom Audience" of Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin2, Ireland ("Facebook Ireland"). With the help of Facebook Pixel, it is possible to determine the users of a website as the target group for the display of ads for the website on Facebook. We use Custom Audience to ensure that only those customers who have visited our website or are interested in our products are shown ads on Facebook. The data we use for Custom Audience comes from the Facebook pixel we use. We have collected this data directly from you and provided it to Facebook for your advertising purposes. Even if you do not have a Facebook account or have not logged in, it is quite conceivable that your IP address and other identifying features will be stored.
The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future via our Consent Management Tool. As your data is processed by Facebook in the USA and other third countries, we would like to point out that according to current case law, there is no adequate level of protection for the transfer of data to the USA and other third countries. The data transfer is based, among other things, on standard contractual clauses as appropriate safeguards for the protection of personal data, available at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum.
