9) Use of videos
Use of YouTube videos
This website uses the YouTube embedding function for indicating and displaying videos from the provider ‘YouTube’, which is part of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (‘Google’).
In this context, the ‘extended data protection mode’ is applied, where, according to the provider, the storage of user information is triggered only when the video or videos are played. When playback of embedded YouTube videos is initiated, the provider ‘YouTube’ enables cookies to collect information about user behaviour. According to information from ‘YouTube’, these serve, among other things, to compile video statistics, improve usability and prevent unlawful activity. If you are logged in to Google, your data is linked directly to your account when you click on a video. If you want to prevent your profile from being linked to YouTube, you must opt out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even if you are not logged in) as usage profiles and analyses them. Such analysis takes place in particular in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) AVG on the basis of Google’s legitimate interest in the display of personalised advertising, in market research and/or in the needs-based design of its website. You have the right to object to this usage profiling, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. When using YouTube, a transfer of personal data to the server of Google LLC. in the USA is also possible.
Apart from the display of embedded videos, each visit to this website involves a connection to the Google network ‘DoubleClick’, which may result in further data processing without our influence.
Further information on data protection at ‘YouTube’ can be found in the provider’s privacy statement at: www.google.com/policies/privacy/
To the extent required by law, we have obtained your consent to the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) AVG. You may withdraw your consent at any time and with immediate effect. To exercise your right of revocation, please follow the procedure described above.
10) Online marketing
10.1 Google Marketing Platform (formerly Doubleclick)
This website uses the online marketing tool by Google from provider Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“GMP”).
GMP uses cookies to display ads relevant to the user, improve reporting on campaign performance and prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. With the help of a cookie ID, Google records which ads are shown in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once. The processing takes place on the basis of our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website in accordance with Art. 6, para. 1 f AVG.
In addition, GMP can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions, which have a connection to requests from advertisements. This is the case, for example, if a user sees a GMP ad and later opens the provider’s website with the same browser and buys something there. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain personal data.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically makes a direct connection to a Google 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 based on our knowledge: through the integration of GMP, Google receives the information that you have opened the relevant part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can link your visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or if you are not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider may find out your IP address and store it.
If you want to object to this tracking method, you can disable conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the website www.googleadservices.com, https://www.google.de/settings.ads; this setting will be removed when you clear your cookies. You can also find information on cookie setting and settings for this from the Digital Advertising Alliance via the website www.aboutads.info. In addition, you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and choose to accept cookies separately or exclude the acceptance of cookies in general or in certain cases. If you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.
You can find more information on the data protection provisions of GMP by Google on the following website: https://policies.google.com/privacy?gl=de&hl=nl.
To the extent required by law, we have obtained your consent to the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) AVG. You may withdraw your consent at any time and with immediate effect. To exercise your right of revocation, please follow the procedure described above.
10.2 Use of conversion tracking from Google Ad
This website uses the online advertising programme ‘Google Ad’ and, within the scope of Google Ad, conversion tracking from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (‘Google’). We use the offer of Google Ad to promote our attractive offers on external websites using advertising tools (so-called Google Ad). We can use the data from advertising campaigns to determine how successful the individual promotional activities are. In doing so, we pursue the interests of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and ensuring fair calculation of advertising costs.
The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an Ad ad managed by Google. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer system. These cookies normally lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve to personally identify the user. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can see that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to the relevant page. Each Google Ad customer receives a different cookie. In this way, cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of Ad customers. The information collected with the conversion cookie serves to generate conversion statistics for Ad customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Clients thus find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a website equipped with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that would identify users personally.
More information on the specific processing carried out and how Google handles data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can prevent its use by deactivating Google’s conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser settings in the user settings. You will then not be included in conversion tracking statistics. We use Google Ad on the basis of our legitimate interest in targeted advertising in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) AVG. When using Google Ads, a transfer of personal data to the server of Google LLC. in the USA is also possible.
More information on Google’s privacy policy can be found at the following internet address: https://policies.google.com/privacy?gl=it&hl=nl. You can permanently deactivate cookies for advertising purposes by setting your browser software to reject them or by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available via the following link:

Please note that certain functions of our website may not be able to be used, or may only be limited, if you have deactivated the use of cookies.

11) Web analytics services
11.1 Google (Universal) Analytics
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). Google (Universal) Analytics uses so-called cookies. These are text files stored on your computer that allow analysis of your use of the website. The information collected by the cookie about your use of this website (including your abbreviated IP address) is normally transferred to a Google server and stored there. Hereby transfer to Google LLC. servers in the USA is possible.
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the extension ‘_anonymizeIp()’, which anonymises the IP address by shortening it before processing, so that direct identification of individuals is not possible. By means of the extension, your IP address is first shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other countries party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google uses this information on our behalf to analyse your use of the website, compile reports on your activities on the website and provide us with other services relating to the use of this website and the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google (Universal) Analytics will not be linked to any other Google data.
More information on the specific processing carried out and how Google handles website data can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
All processing options described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for reading information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) AVG. Without this consent, the use of Google Analytics during your visit to our website will not take place.
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must deactivate this service in the ‘cookieconsent tool’ provided on the website. We have concluded a processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics, which obliges Google to protect the data of our website visitors and not to pass it on to third parties.
For the transfer of data from the EU to the US, Google refers to the so-called standard data protection clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European data protection level in the US.
More information about Google (Universal) Analytics can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=nl
11.2 Google Analytics 4
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), to analyse the use of the website.
When using Google Analytics 4, so-called ‘cookies’ are used by default. Cookies are text files stored on your end device that allow analysis of your use of a website. The information collected by cookies about your use of the website (including the IP address transmitted by your end device, abbreviated by the last digits, see below) is generally transferred to a Google server and stored and processed there. This may also result in information being transmitted to Google LLC servers in the United States, where the information is further processed.
When using Google Analytics 4, the IP address transmitted by your end device when you use the website is always collected and processed automatically and, by default, only in an anonymised manner. As a result, the information collected cannot be directly linked to a person. This automatic anonymisation is carried out by Google by shortening the IP address transmitted by your end device within the member states of the European Union (EU) or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA) by the last digits.
Google will use this and other information on our behalf to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on your website activities and user behaviour and, in addition, to report to us performance related to website use and internet connection. In this context, the IP address transmitted and shortened by your end device within the scope of Google Analytics 4 will not be merged with other Google data. The data collected in the context of using Google Analytics 4 will be stored for 2 months and then deleted.
Google Analytics 4 also makes it possible to compile statistics relating to age, gender and interests of website users based on an evaluation of interest-based advertising and with the inclusion of third-party information via a special feature called “demographic characteristics”. This makes it possible to identify and differentiate user groups for the purpose of targeted marketing content. However, the data collected via the ‘demographic features’ cannot be assigned to a specific person and therefore not to you personally. This data collected via the ‘demographic characteristics’ feature will be kept for two months and then deleted.
All processing options described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for storing and reading information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) AVG. Without this consent, the use of Google Analytics 4 during your visit to the website will not take place. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must deactivate this service in the ‘Cookie Consent Tool’ on the website.
This website also uses the Google Signals service as an extension of Google Analytics 4. Google Signals allows us to have cross-device reports created by Google (so-called ‘cross-device tracking’). If you have enabled ‘personalised ads’ in your Google account settings and have linked your internet-enabled devices to your Google account, Google can analyse user behaviour on different devices and create database models based on them if you have given your consent to the use of Google Analytics 4 in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) AVG. This takes into account the logins and device types of all visitors to the website, who have logged into a Google account and made a purchase. Among other things, the data shows on which device you first clicked on an ad and on which device the corresponding purchase took place. In doing so, we do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics based on Google Signals. You have the option to deactivate your settings in your Google account for ‘personalised ads’ and therefore cross-device analysis in connection with Google Signals. To do so, follow the instructions on this webpage: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=nl
More information about Google Signals can be found at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=nl#zippy=%2Cthemen-in-diesem-artikel%2Cin-dit-artikel-vindt-u-de-volgende-informatie
For our use of Google Analytics 4, we have concluded a so-called processor agreement with Google, which obliges Google to protect the data of our website users and not to pass it on to third parties.
To ensure compliance with the European level of data protection, also in case of a transfer of data from the EU or EEA to the US and any further processing there, Google refers to the so-called standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which we have contractually agreed with Google.
Further legal information on Google Analytics 4, including a copy of the aforementioned standard contractual clauses, can be found at the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=nl&gl=de
Details of the processing initiated by Google Analytics 4 and how Google handles data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites?hl=nl
12) Retargeting/remarketing/recommendation advertising
Microsoft Advertising Retargeting
This website uses conversion tracking technology ‘Microsoft Advertising Retargeting’ from Microsoft (Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA). This involves Microsoft Bing Ads placing a cookie on your computer, if you arrived at our website via a Microsoft Bing ad. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer system. These cookies lose their validity after 180 days and are not used to identify users personally. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Microsoft and we can determine that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page (conversion page). To the extent personal data is processed in the process, this is done in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) AVG on the basis of our legitimate interest in effective marketing.
The information collected with the conversion cookie serves to establish conversion statistics, i.e. to determine how many users arrive at a conversion page after clicking on an advertisement. This allows us to know the total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a website equipped with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that identifies users personally.
Microsoft Corporation, headquartered in the US, is certified under the data protection agreement ‘EU-US Privacy Shield’, which ensures compliance with the required EU level of data protection.
If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can easily prevent its use by deactivating the Microsoft Advertising Retargeting conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser settings in the user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. You can also use the deactivation page for EU consumers http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/ to check whether Microsoft advertising cookies are placed in your browser and deactivate them.
You can find more information on Microsoft Bing Ads’ privacy policy at the following internet address: https://privacy.microsoft.com/nl-NL
To the extent required by law, we have obtained your consent to the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) AVG. You may withdraw your consent at any time with immediate effect. To exercise your right of revocation, please follow the procedure described above.
Facebook Custom Audience using the Facebook pixel
This website uses the ‘Facebook pixel’ of Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quay,Square, Dublin 2, Lerland (‘Facebook’). If expressly authorised, this allows the behaviour of users to be tracked after seeing or clicking on an advertising ad from Facebook. This process serves to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook advertising ads for statistical and market research purposes and may help optimise future promotional activities.
The data obtained is anonymous for us and thus does not provide us with any further information about the identity of the user.
