We use the online marketing method Google "AdWords" to place ads in the Google advertising network (e.g. in search results, in videos, on websites, etc.), so that they can be shown to users who have a presumed interest in the ads. This allows us to better target ads for and within our online offerings to only present users with ads that may match their interests. For example, when a user is shown advertisements for products they have been interested in on other online offerings, this is referred to as "remarketing". For these purposes, when our website and other websites on which the Google advertising network is active are accessed, a code is executed directly by Google and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or codes, also known as "web beacons") are placed in integrated into the website.

With regard to US providers who are certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they undertake to comply with the data protection standards of the EU.

In addition, user data is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created from usage behavior and the resulting interests of users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertising inside and outside the platforms that presumably corresponds to the interests of the user. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users' computers, in which the usage behavior and the interests of the users are stored. In addition, data can also be stored device-independently in the usage profiles of the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in there).

GDPR.
