We use the AdSense service, with the help of which advertisements are displayed on our website and we receive remuneration for their display or other use. For these purposes, usage data, such as the click on an advertisement and the IP address of the user, are processed, whereby the IP address is shortened by the last two digits. Therefore, the processing of the user data is pseudonymized.
We use Adsense with personalized ads. In doing so, Google draws conclusions about their interests on the basis of the websites visited by users or the apps used and the user profiles created in this way. Advertisers use this information to align their campaigns with these interests, which is beneficial for users and advertisers alike. For Google, advertisements are personalized when recorded or known data determine or influence the selection of advertisements. This includes previous searches, activities, website visits, the use of apps, demographic and location information. In detail, this includes: demographic targeting, targeting on interest categories, remarketing as well as targeting on lists for customer comparison and target group lists that have been uploaded to DoubleClick Bid Manager or Campaign Manager.

FACEBOOK PIXEL, CUSTOM AUDIENCES AND FACEBOOK CONVERSION
Due to our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer and for these purposes, the so-called "Facebook pixel" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025 , USA, or if you are based in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook") is used.
Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law ( https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active ).
With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is on the one hand able to determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the presentation of advertisements (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to only display the Facebook ads placed by us to Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products that are based on the visited Websites) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we would also like to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and are not annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also understand the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion").
The processing of the data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook's data usage guidelines. Accordingly, general information on the presentation of Facebook ads in Facebook's data usage guidelines: https://www.facebook.com/policy . Special information and details about the Facebook pixel and how it works can be found in the Facebook help section: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616 .

To set which types of advertisements are shown to you within Facebook, you can call up the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there on the settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads .
